Black Children’s Book Week may be over… but the celebration doesn’t stop here. 🤎📚✨

As we step into Women’s History Month, I wanted to reflect on some powerful reads I discovered inside the @blackchildrensbookmuseum — stories that center Black female protagonists with pride, intelligence, softness, and strength.

These books deserve their shine because they do more than tell stories.

They build mirrors. They build confidence. They build legacy.

📕 They Built Me for Freedom by @tonyaellisbooks
A beautiful celebration of heritage and resilience. This story reminds young girls that their existence is rooted in strength, history, and intentional love.

📗 Zoe’s Day with Dr. J by @learnandplaywithdr.j
A powerful spotlight on representation in medicine. It encourages young Black girls to dream boldly and see themselves in professional spaces early.

📘 9 Days of Piper Snow by @consciousdreamspublishing
A heartfelt story centered on emotional growth and self-discovery, showing that young girls can be reflective, layered, and beautifully human.

📙 My Beautiful Brown-Skinned Girl by @anticiaisblessed
A radiant affirmation of brown skin, beauty, and identity — reinforcing confidence and pride from the inside out.

And on the very last slide… I may have squeezed one more into the pocket 🤭🤎

Do I Talk Black Enough? — because stories about voice, belonging, and identity deserve space in every room we enter.

Black Children’s Book Week reminded me that our stories are not niche. They are necessary.

Here’s to continuing the celebration of Black girls, Black voices, and Black brilliance — not just for a week, but always.

Which one are you adding to your child’s shelf this month? 📚✨

❤️, Natty James

Last year was a standout season of media visibility and impact for experts. These placements amplified trusted medical expertise, delivered credible health information to families, and reinforced the value of expert voices in today’s media landscape.

One such client was @learnandplaywithdr.j 👩🏽‍⚕️

Expert voices belong in the media. When qualified professionals lead the conversation, audiences receive clarity, accuracy, and confidence in the information they consume.
As we look ahead, the momentum continues. More opportunities. Greater visibility. Bigger wins. We’re excited for what’s coming next and ready to deliver even more client wins in 2026.

Zoe’s Day with Dr. J! Written by Letisha Jefferson Illustrated by Bonnie Bright

Children love to dress up and play doctor, but they aren’t fond of actually going to visit the doctor. This wonderful book is ideal for helping to ease the fear and anxiety they may experience.

Through the use of rhyme, children will follow along with Zoe every step of the way, at her appointment with Dr. J..

Dr. J. is a pediatrician, which is a doctor, who specializes in the treatment and care of children.

When Zoe arrives for her check-up at ten, she’s greeted with grins from the front desk, and then . . .

“Good morning sweet friend, we’ll go to room two. Let’s first check your vitals. It’s easy to do!”

In comes Dr. J., but before they proceed . . .
She gives Zoe a book to take home and read.

They have an important and fun conversation. Dr. J. makes some notes of the new information.

Now, it’s time for the exam.

They’re almost done, there is one last thing to do . . .
You can guess. Or I’ll give you a clue.

“I know,” Zoe said. “Though I really forgot. To be super healthy, I must have my shot!”

Dr. Jefferson, who is a board-certified pediatrician, and the author of this book, recommends taking it along for the first doctor’s visit.

There are pages of things children may see during their appointment. There are also pages to draw pictures while they are waiting to see the doctor.

* During the month of December, everyone is able to order from Dr. Jefferson’s website www.learnandplaywithdrj.com and receive free shipping. You will also receive a free stethoscope with all purchases $25 and over.
