Give yourself a joyful smile as you look at your beautiful skin. Hug yourself. You are as unique as your fingerprints. This is TRUTH.—Halima Taha, “A Love Letter for You” from The New Brownies’ Book
In 1920, as art and writing flourished during the Harlem Renaissance, W. E. B. Du Bois published The Brownies’ Book: A Monthly Magazine for Children of the Sun—the first periodical for African American youth, collecting original art, stories, letters, and activities to celebrate their identities
and inspire their imaginations and ambitions.
Building upon Du Bois’s mission, esteemed professor and scholar Karida L. Brown and celebrated artist Charly Palmer reimagine the groundbreaking publication with The New Brownies’ Book, gathering the work of more than 50 contemporary Black writers, including Ntozake Shange, Frank X
Walker, Danny Simmons, and Alice Faye Duncan. Created by and for Black families today, this anthology is filled with inspiring essays, poems, and short stories reflecting on the joy and depth of the Black experience.
Delivering delight to adults and children alike, this powerful celebration of twenty-firstcentury Black culture fulfills the promise of its source material by reminding readers of all ages that Black is brilliant, beautiful, and bold.
