Own Voice Black History Month | Own-Voice Black History Month Book Bundle | Black History and Black-Authored Children’s Books, EYFS to KS4

Perfect for school leaders, literacy leads, inclusion leads, librarians and educators looking to build more diverse, representative and engaging book collections.

Black stories. Black voices. Black history. More than a month.

Black History Month is an important opportunity for schools to explore Black history, celebrate achievement and support children’s understanding of identity, culture and belonging.

But if your school library only reaches for Black history books in October, children are missing opportunities to encounter Black stories throughout the year.

The Own Voice Black History Month Book Bundle is a curated collection of children’s books celebrating Black history, heritage, identity and achievement, with a focus on stories that give space to Black voices and experiences.

From EYFS to KS4, this collection supports schools in building a more representative library and making Black stories part of everyday reading.
