M is for Melanin
We’re partnering with the Felipe de Neve Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library for a new reading series: Black Voices, Black Joy. Follow along over the next few weeks as we read children’s books written and illustrated by Black authors and work on art projects to explore the books’ themes.
📘 Today, tune in to @felipedenevelibrary’s Instagram Live at 3:00 p.m. PDT as Children’s Librarian Laurie Reese reads M is for Melanin by Tiffany Rose aloud.
📗 Visit our blog to watch artist Kenturah Davis read M is for Melanin
