Tami Charles pens a poetic, lyrical text that is part love letter, part anthem, assuring readers that they always have, and always will, matter. This powerful, rhythmic lullaby reassures readers that their matter and their worth is never diminished, no matter the circumstance: through the joy and wonder of their first steps and first laughter, through the hardship of adolescent struggles and the pain and heartbreak of current events, they always have, and always will, matter. Accompanied by illustrations by renowned artist Bryan Collier, a four-time Caldecott Honor recipient and a nine-time Coretta Scott King Award winner or honoree, All Because You Matter empowers readers with pride, joy, and comfort, reminding them of their roots and strengthening them for the days to come.

January 2021 Resource Roundup: Antiracist Books for Every Age Group
Happy New Year! We hope the new year has been treating you well so far and that you’ve been keeping up with your resolutions. One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to read more, and this year, many of us are resolved to become more antiracist. To help with both of these worthy goals, we’ve compiled an antiracist book list.
Check out a few of our favorites; we’ve selected four children’s books, four middle-grade and YA books, and four books for adult readers. Each title is linked to a Black-owned bookstore, so you can simultaneously support Black-owned businesses.
Courtesy/One Book, One Philadelphia The Tradition, a poetry collection by Jericho Brown, explores Blackness, queerness, masculinity, family, spirituality and the natural world. One Book, One Philadelphia has named it its 2021 selection.
The selection for the 2021 One Book, One Philadelphia was revealed by the Free Library of Philadelphia and the City of Philadelphia on Thursday.
For the first time, the program has chosen a book of poetry. The Tradition by Jericho Brown is a Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of poems that explores Blackness, queerness, masculinity, family, spirituality and the natural world.
One Book, One Philadelphia – now in its 19th year – is an initiative that encourages the greater Philadelphia region to come together by reading and discussing the same book.
