for Afro-Bets ABC by Cheryl Willis Hudson
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Six active Afro-American children are pictured playing on the alphabet pages. Cartoon images are sometimes typical (balloon, keys, pencil) and sometimes culturally specific (Africa, cornrows, Kente cloth, Nefertiti.) A lightshearted spirit is predominant. (Ages 2-7)
