0 Bestselling Children’s Books Books
Period: July/August - 2023
Fiction:
Voices of the Harlem Renaissance tops the fiction list due to the strength of sales at the Tulisoma South Dallas Book Fair. The #2 book this period, Coleman Hill: A Biomythography by Kim Coleman Foote deserves special note because its publication date is September 5, 2023, but it has been a bestselling book since our March /April list!
Nonfiction:
In Spite of the Consequences: Prison Letters on Exoneration, Abolition, and Freedom by activist Latino Hamilton, who was wrongly jailed for 26 years because of a wrongful conviction, is the #1 fiction title this period. In our review, Robert Fleming favorably compares it to the work of George Jackson, Huey Newton, Angela Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, and Malcolm X.
Children’s Books:
Jelani’s Key by D. Amari Jackson debuts at #1 on the strength of presales. Published by AALBC Books for Young Readers, we will have the book launch in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, September 9.
Poetry:
So to Speak, “a powerful, timely, dazzling new collection of poems from the National Book Award-winning author of Lighthead,” Terrance Hayes tops all poetry book sales this period.
