Kids need Black role models to show them what they’re capable of and for them to believe in their potential.

That’s why Cocoa Kids Books creates accessible, culturally authentic, and relatable Black characters. This is shown in the visual and verbal cues they use, how they interact with family and friends, and more.

You will find beautifully illustrated Black characters in adventure, fantasy, and inspirational books. They are written with age/grade level appropriate vocabulary to build a foundation and love for reading.

Our beautifully illustrated Black characters help their readers to develop problem-solving and analytical skills. Some of the stories will show how to deal with everyday life challenges such as making responsible choices, dealing with new situations, and managing relationships with family, friends, and teachers.
