- TWO CHILDREN have written books to tell their friends and peers about the black heroes and heroines of past and present.
The authors are Romeo Bremmer – son of Juliet Bremmer, presenter of legendary 1990s gospel show People Get Ready – and Brianna-Kayla Lynch, the grand-daughter of gospel legend Bazil Meade.
Their books are entitled Hey, Black Boy! and Hey, Black Girl!, respectively.
Black heroes featured in the boys book include Grime artist Stormzy, Olympic 100m champion Usain Bolt and civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
The list of decorated females in BriannaKayla’s book include America’s former first lady Michelle Obama, Britain’s first black female MP Diane Abbott, comedienne Angie Le Mar and the late RnB singer Aretha Franklin. Juliet Bremmer, an award-winning senior deputy headteacher of a secondary school worked alongside her son Bailey to publish both titles.
She said: “It’s important to teach young people about their history and inspire them to develop pride in themselves and their community. “By featuring black achievers, these books do that as well as encouraging readers to see themselves as individuals who can achieve great things.” For further information about the books visitblackjacmedia.com

- 📚 #LuzDeJuventud 📚 de Ralf Rothmann, por @librosdelasteroide.
Julian es un niño de doce años que vive en un pueblo de la cuenca del Ruhr, en la década de los sesenta. El trabajo en las minas de carbón ha ido perjudicando la salud de su padre, y su madre, abrumada por el cansancio y una vida distinta a la que esperaba, no es especialmente cariñosa con él. Los únicos apoyos con los que cuenta Julian son su hermana pequeña, Sophie, y Marusha, una vecina adolescente en quien verá la primera llamada del sexo. Cuando su madre se va de vacaciones con su hermana y lo deja unas semanas de verano solo con su padre, Julian empieza a ser consciente del fin de su infancia.

- Saudade
My khala [aunty] once told me to come back. She offered a bargain. Her cooking exchanged for my time. Then she clung onto my shoulders.
My ammu [mother] once begged me to come home. She yearned for her daughter to walk through the door. It was futile.
My dadi [grandmother] never kissed me goodbye. She left my father a lifetime of stories. She left me her smile on fading film. I seek warmth in her sari on the coldest of nights. - @rifahnawarx
