All the Greatness in You by Tameka Fryer Brown, illustrated by Alleanna Harris.

All the Greatness in You is a sweet and affirming story told from the perspective of a loving mother as she recounts all the things she admires about her young son and his burgeoning independence—from his boundless curiosity and his can-do attitude to his resilience when times get tough. When faced with a daunting challenge—like a solo in his church’s choir—she encourages him to find his inner strength and courage.

Our Joyful Noise
Our Joyful Noise by Gabriele Davis, illustrated by Craig Stanley.

A joyful, jazzy picture book following a Black family through a week of shared moments and simple pleasures, woven through with hidden musical jewels from spirituals and songs.

We move to the sounds
that FLOW through our days.
Soft sounds, low sounds, LOUD sounds,
slow sounds.
Joyful, NOISEFUL, soulful sounds.
OUR sounds.

For this loving family, each moment of the day is filled with music, from the moment they wake to the sound of Mama humming them into a happy day as she plop plop plops berries into oatmeal, to bedtime when Daddy soothes them to sleep, strong hands smoothing brows, warm and slow, sweet chariots swinging low.
