Category: Board Books

An exciting ABC board book featuring Black women musicians whose artistry and activism globally changed the way we hear and interact with music, one song at a time.

Spotlighting 26 Black women in music, A is for Aretha is a celebration of the contributions they made not only within their industry but also of the social causes that often underpinned their music. Within these pages are women whose music encouraged joy and self-love, advocated for racial justice, buoyed civil rights protests, and trailblazed paths for Black creatives that are still felt to this day.
 
This board book is a perfect gift for a baby shower or the youngest music fan.

Mia K. ★★★★★

The thick pages hold up well to my 2-year-old flipping through them solo, and the ABC structure makes it easy to pause and chat about each featured musician. We're only halfway through the alphabet and I've already added three new names to my own playlist.

Samuel X. ★★★★★

My toddler asks for this book every night, and I appreciate how the bold illustrations make each musician easy to point out. It's a fresh take on the alphabet that introduces real history without feeling like a lesson.

Brian A. ★★★★★

I love that each letter highlights a real Black woman musician, so my daughter is learning her ABCs while being introduced to powerful artists like Nina Simone and Bessie Smith. The board pages are sturdy enough for her little hands, which is a must at this age.
