We have heard the outcry about needing diverse books. Guess who has stood the test of time in providing diverse books for nearly thirty years, Just Us Books. More than two and a half decades ago, Wade and Cheryl Hudson were parents on a desperate search for children’s books that addressed Black history, Black heritage and Black experiences. Disappointed by the limited number and unreliable availability, the couple embarked upon a mission: to produce the kind of positive, vibrant Black –interest books that they wanted for their own two children.
