A powerful new children’s book, My Favorite ABCs! by L.M. Baker, brings African American heritage to the forefront of early childhood literature. Thoughtfully designed to help children see themselves represented in the stories they read, this alphabet book supports both literacy development and cultural identity formation. Now available in print and digital formats, the book is an ideal addition to classrooms, libraries, and daycare centers across the country.
With vibrant illustrations and culturally affirming themes, My Favorite ABCs! introduces young readers to the alphabet in a meaningful and engaging way. Each letter is paired with vocabulary and imagery that reflect authentic African American experiences—encouraging early reading while promoting positive identity development.

The book not only reinforces letter recognition and vocabulary but also encourages children to embrace their heritage with pride.
“My goal was to create something beautiful and useful,” says Baker. “I wanted children to recognize themselves in the pages—to feel proud, seen, and valued.”
By reflecting everyday family life, traditions, and values, My Favorite ABCs! offers a literary experience that affirms identity and celebrates culture. It is an empowering step toward a more inclusive and representative literary landscape.
