35th ANNIVERSARY BOOK PACKAGE
These four titles, released during our first few years, helped to establish Just Us Books as a leading publisher of children’s books that spotlight Black history, culture and experiences.
The AFRO-BETS ABC Book started it all. Featuring the AFRO-BETS Kids, six Black youngsters who shape their bodies to form the letters of the alphabet, it resonated instantly with youngsters who yearned to see characters who look like themselves in books they read.
Book of Black Heroes from A to Z, celebrate 56 historical and contemporary Black achievers. A welcome addition to the limited number of books about Black history makers, it immediately demonstrated a year-round need and market for kidlit that celebrates Black history. This classic is our bestseller with hundreds of thousands of copies in print across the world.
“I got this for my 2-year-old daughter. She loves this book and keeps saying ‘they look like me,’ wrote a parent about Bright Eyes, Brown Skin. The picture book follows four bright, energetic preschoolers who exude joy and confidence as they go about a day full of activities.
A Publishers Weekly review said of Jamal’s Busy Day, the final book in this package, “the charm of this unassuming, engaging picture book rests in the tongue-in-cheek parallels between the daily labors of parents and offspring.” The upbeat message is both parents and children have something important to contribute.
These four titles have become classics in classrooms, libraries and homes and are available in this special 35th Anniversary package for only $25.00, a 35% discount we’re proud to offer in recognition of this important milestone.
