        October 15, 2021
        Grades 1-3 These new picture-book biographies in the Leaders Like Us series (written and illustrated by Black women) (4 new titles) place a well-deserved spotlight on lesser-known Black Americans who were leaders in their fields. Jackie Ormes introduces fashionable comics creator Ormes, who kicked stereotypes to the curb with her popular comics (the first by a Black woman to be nationally syndicated) featuring smart, successful, and attractive Black characters, like Torchy Brown. Occasionally the writing lacks smooth transitions, but all the books give a clear sense of their subjects, the importance of their work, and obstacles they overcame. Welcoming, full-page illustrations, reading-comprehension questions, and an activity prompt round out each title in this worthwhile series.
