The (incomplete) Lit in Colour book list

Collection:

Recommended by Made

BLM

These reading lists for primary and secondary ages each have over 100 recommended titles by writers of colour. Penguin calls the book list incomplete because they know it will never manage to be exhaustive or definitive and plan to update it annually, bringing even more new and classic titles to the list.

This list is a great way to bring new voices and perspectives into your classroom.
