Black representation in children’s books | A different art museum experience

Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati started the African American Children’s Book Project to inspire young readers and uplift Black authors. Their upcoming book fair on February 7 will feature award-winning authors, book giveaways, and more. Racquel Williams talks with Vanesse and one of the authors being featured at the book fair, Carole Boston Weatherford, about the importance of representation in children’s literature and the Philadelphia history being told in many of these books. Then, Shara Dae Howard heads to Chestnut Hill’s Woodmere Museum, known for its outdoor opulence in art and architecture. She gets an up-close look at a new addition and finds out why the Woodmere creates an experience that’s unique from Philly’s other art museums.
