Can You Name 10 African American-themed Pop-Up Books?

Pop-up books are magically enchanting. They have the power to take us to new galaxies, revisit historical events, introduce new people, and re-interpret familiar stories. Can a child of color in the US see themselves in today's pop-up books? The US Census Bureau says there are 9.1 million Black children under the age of 15 or 15% of all US children in that age range. That seems like a good market size. Yet, it is most difficult to find a pop-up book with a Black child as the hero. This pop-up brochure showcases African American-themed pop-up books-the latest published two decades ago-and suggests ways to address this gap. The brochure is hand-assembled and includes a pull-tab, one pop-up and a six-panel insert. Engage in a critical and unique way with American children's literature and movable books.
