It’s There in Black and White

CJ and Elza are prepared to read between the lines and study the contrasts in this month’s collection of black and white books.

Play Along!

Join us in reading Middle Grade books featuring black and white covers during the month of November! We recommend looking for covers with a monochromatic palette, exploring snow-white settings, diving into black holes, and watching the shelves for animals with distinctive coloring.
Share your favorite reads this month on social media, and be sure to use the hashtag #MGCarousel!
