Honoring Women's History Month pt.4: Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold

In honor of women's history month, a celebration of children's books by black women authors.


Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold   

This enchanting story follows the adventure of 8-year-old Cassie Louise Lightfoot after she flies over her apartment- building rooftop,  the “tar beach” looking down on 1939 Harlem. Part autobiographical, part fictional, this allegorical tale sparkles with symbolic and historical references central to African-American culture.  Ages 5-8
