Its illustrated format brings together personal affection, respect for community figures, and appreciation of Black culture and achievements. The result is a child-centered introduction to how the book presents love, gratitude, and cultural connection as part of daily life.

Book overview

Follow a day in the life of a young Black child and learn the different ways we experience love every day with this striking illustrated children's book.

Created in 1993, Black Love Day is celebrated annually on February 13. This holiday was created to demonstrate love, forgiveness, and acceptance among Black people. Throughout the course of a day, a young boy observes and experiences many different kinds of Black love--the romantic love between his parents, the familial love of his siblings and family, the admiration for a teacher at school, the respect for community leaders, and more.

Celebrate Black love, culture, and achievements by implementing the five tenets:

  1. Love toward the Creator
  2. Love toward Self
  3. Love toward Family
  4. Love within the Black Community
  5. Love for the Black race

Black Joy is an inspiring story showcasing how these tenets can be used every day throughout the year to express love, gratitude, and positivity for everything in life.
