Help for the Busy Mom - Black Children’s Books Read Aloud

The month of February is great in that we celebrate Black History Month and stuck right in the middle is Valentine’s Day.  Unfortunately, we lose at least two whole days (since it only has 28 days).  So just in case, you need some parenting assistance to get 30 days of work done in 28 days,  listed below are books by black authors that someone else reads, thus giving parents a few minutes of “let me catch up” time.
