Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a Cover Freebie, so I wanted to highlight 10 12 (yes I am cheating) beautifully illustrated covers that feature coloured and black characters. I am loving how the book publishing industry is opening up for owned-voice stories and for non-white readers to see representation of them on covers. Covers are linked to Goodreads
Top Ten Book Covers With POC & Black Characters
I'm so happy to see these.
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear!
DeleteMexican Gothic was such a good story.
ReplyDeleteMy post .
I'm really keen to read it, it's just a bonus that it has a gorgeous cover!
DeleteI agree! It's great to see so many non-white characters on book covers these days. My daughter is mixed and she's always excited when she sees people who look like her on book covers. Representation in books is so important.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
That is amazing to hear how your daughter feels when seeing representation, especially for people at a young age. Here's hoping the younger generation get to see more of this in their lifetime!
DeleteForest of Souls has a really great book cover. It's so intriguing.
ReplyDeleteIt really does right! The character looks like she ha a number of secrets to tell us.
DeleteMexican Gothic and The Black Kids are my favorite here. They're so pretty.
