Black Boy Joy by Kwame Mbalia
4.0
This collection of middle grade short stories, poems, and one short graphic novel features some of the best middle grade writers (Jason Reynolds! Kwame Mbalia! Jerry Craft!) and has the most amazing cover art by Kadir Nelson. I am not a huge fan of short stories because they always leaving me wanting more but there are some real stand-outs in this collection (they honestly still left me wanting more but I was satisfied in the end). I know this is going to appeal to a lot of middle grade students and hopefully spread more black boy joy.
