About Black Children's Book Week

Black Children’s Book Week '26 will take place from February 22rd - February 28th. The Week is a global celebration of Black children and their representation in children's books and other media. 

Black Children's Book Week was founded by Veronica N. Chapman, a children's book author and entrepreneur. Veronica has a track record of designing creative services and products that affirm and inspire Black children. She is the founder of Boxxout Enterprises, where she designs creative solutions for social change like Black Baby Books, a platform that makes it easier to discover children's books with Black characters.

Black Children's Book Week is administered by Black Baby Books, and starts every year on the last Sunday in February.

Our goal for
Black Children's Book Week

Our goal for the week is to collectively raise the vibration in the world for Black children by showering them with an extra dose of love via the power of representation.


Research shows that when Black children see themselves represented positively in their media, it fortifies their self-esteem and helps protect them from the impact of racism. - This is why your support of this week is so necessary!


This week will be an awesome opportunity for anyone who wants to get behind a fun and positive new celebration, and be proactive in helping Black children establish a foundation on which they can thrive!

THERE'S MORE!

the Black Children's Book museum

A virtual museum of black representation

I wanted to find a fun and creative way to celebrate our sponsors, and present a stunning display of Black representation that can be enjoyed for people beyond Black Children's Book Week.


To fulfill this vision I created a dynamic Shoppable Virtual Black Children's Book Museum to highlight the work of our sponsors. Authors, for example, you can feature your book cover, or other images from your book, and people can purchase your book from within the museum.

The museum is promoted throughout the year, and exhibits don't change

until the following year's celebration!
