This month, in all of its uniqueness and necessity, is yet and still just another opportunity for folk, from all walks of life, to the pause for the cause...to recognize just how amazing black people, black culture and black art is in all the spaces that we occupy.
ASA BOOKS is one of many entities that pride ourselves in being a black-owned, women-owned company. Our purpose is to create beautiful work for children... in the form of self published books that teach literacy through themed based storytelling and engaging art.
We work in a space of gratitude... being grateful for the opportunity to create art, when not so long ago it was against the law to do so. So, this month, we celebrate the artist in us and the artist in you. Artist of the past, present, and future, of all kinds. Whether a writer, illustrator, actor, dancer, poet (shout out to Amanda Gorman), singer, song writer, graphic designer....we celebrate your freedom to be, to exist and to share your gifts with us all.
Your February reading list is here, filled with a great selection. We hope you and the kids enjoy!

African American Artist Feature
Amanda Gorman, Change Sings
On January 20, 2021, many witnessed Amanda Gorman for the very first time as she eloquently delivered the inaugural poem at just 22 years old. As the youngest inaugural poet in United States history, the world was inspired by this amazing black woman. She is a testament, not just to young black girls and boys, but to all of us.. that if we stay focused on that "thing" that calls us, we too will have the opportunity to live powerfully and peacefully in our truth, and when opportunities like the inaugural ball come to fruition ,we are ready to answer the call. ASA Books salutes Miss Gorman on a job well done!
Change Sings, a children's anthem, is available for pre-order now. Visit www.theamandagorman.com to learn more about this brilliant artist and activist.
