If you have been looking for books to buy your black, daughter, granddaughter, niece, or sisters today is your lucky day! I spent a few days searching Amazon.com for books with black girl and boy characters.
I found over 30 books that celebrate everything from black girl hair to black women in history.
If you keep reading I will tell you how you can get 2 of the books for FREE or get them shipped to you in 3 days or less for FREE.
Like many of you, I believe it's important that black girls and boys see black princes, princesses, super-heroes, and other characters that look like them and members of their family.
If you are looking for books for your black son, grandson, nephew, or someone else check out my post; The Ultimate List of Books to Buy Little Black Boys.
If you know of any other books that empower and uplift black girls tell me in the comments.
Now on to the good stuff.
How to get 2 books for FREE
If you sign up for a free trial of Audible you can download 2 audiobooks for free. They are yours to keep FOREVER, and you and your child can listen to the books together at home or in the car. You won't be charged a thing if you cancel before your free trial ends.
My dad introduced me to audiobooks when I was a little girl. We used to listen to them on long trips and on my way to summer camp. It's something I always remember.
How to get books delivered in 3 days or less for free
Four words. Amazon Prime Trial Membership. If you have never been an Amazon Prime Member you can try it free for 30 days.
Once you sign-up and get free two-day shipping, for books that you order, plus you get access to Amazon's video and music streaming services.
I liked Amazon Prime and I loved not having to pay separate shipping on all of my products.
If you are an EBT cardholder you can become an Amazon Prime member, after your trial, for only $5.99 a month! That's a steal. EBT cardholders sign-up here. You cannot beat that price!
Disclaimer, I am an Amazon Associate and I may get a small commission if you order books through the links I provide on the post. You won't be charged extra and commissions I make through my site help me to keep the site up and running, and occasionally buy my children some ice cream. I like and refer people to Amazon because, I use Amazon.com, and I think that they are a reputable site that looks out for their customers.
I hope this list helps!
