Hi! I'm looking for modern, invented pourquoi tales, like Grace Lin's A Big Mooncake for Little Star and A Big Bed for Little Snow. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I love this list. The Great Race is a book that we checked out of our library so many times that I bought a copy.

I would like to republish the African game "Queah" as well as select other games and activities from the African, African-Caribbean or African American traditions to the website of the Charles H Wright Museum of African American History. Who can I speak to for permission? Our website is being re-engineered and will feature a children's educational section. Full copyright acknowledgement and arrangements would be given though the information would be recon. This is in response to our school patrons being forced to stay at home because of the COVID 19 pandemic. Thank you for your help in advance.

Thank you for this post, I'll look out for the recommended picture books. My 5yo currently loves watching Tinga Tinga Tales, which are essentially animated pourquoi tales. A while ago we really enjoyed Mwenye Hadithi's series of books, especially Sleepy Cheetah, illustrated by Adrienne Kennaway
