Abstract

african american children's literature is rich with significant themes and tropes that educators can effectively use to teach about important events, figures, and historical facts in a culturally sensitive way to a diverse classroom of students. It is extremely important that teachers have a thorough understanding of the particular tropes that they may choose to dissect and teach from a selection of african american children's literature. In addition it is extremely important for educators to be familiar with african american history in order to appropriately relate the valuable ideals and themes from within the selected literature.
