Africville by Shauntay Grant
4.0

Age: Toddler-2nd grade (text is suitable for younger children, backstory is suitable for older children)
Culture: Canada, Nova Scotia, Halifax
-Town established by Black Loyalists and Black refugees fleeing slavery in the U.S.

Short, nostalgic text depict the beauty of Africville as a modern day girl visits it through the memories of her family and ancestors. Truly gorgeous illustrations are full of layers and light, warmfully embracing the happy memories of the home that was stolen away from the people that inhabited it.
