Keyana Loves School
Charnelle Pinkney Barlow
(Illustrator)Description
Keyana has come up with the perfect idea for a class project, and getting it done is pretty fun! All she has to do is pick the people and places she loves around her school. But when the teacher asks Keyana to present the project in front of everyone, she'll have to find a little bit of confidence and a big way to share.
Praise for the KEYANA series:
Tarpley's pleasant, relatable text and Barlow's vivid soft-pastel illustrations combine here to create a heartwarming story...This book is a beauty to behold.―Booklist
A celebration of big ideas, teamwork, and family...A loving depiction of a warm, affectionate Black family.
―Kirkus
In a delightful story about Black child joy and family, Tarpley gives us an adorable and dynamic main character in Keyana, who has presence and confidence aplenty... A recommended purchase for collections needing a little more Black joy on the shelves.―School Library Journal
