The Brown Bookshelf - Announcing the Honorees


Thank you for your support of The Brown Bookshelf. We received more than 100 nominations of African-American children's book authors to consider including in our upcoming 28 Days Later campaign. Our deliberations have finally ended.


On Jan. 15, we announced the 28 authors and four illustrators we'll feature in our Black History Month initiative to push awareness of the wonderful African-American authors creating literature for children. Congratulations to all of the honorees!


You can check out the list at http://www.thebrownbookshelf.com/. There's also a color poster, created by team member and illustrator Don Tate, available for free download.Thanks again for helping us shine the light on outstanding black children's book authors and illustrators. Please help us spread the word about their achievements.
