Indigo Arts Alliance's (Virtual) Beautiful Blackbird Children's Book Festival

THE BEAUTIFUL BLACKBIRD CHILDREN'S BOOK FESTIVAL

Friday, June 19th, 2020 The Beautiful Blackbird Children's Book Festival aired our first Read-Out-loud featuring Maine's own hero Ashley Bryan reading his book 'Beautiful Blackbird'. My company Ridah Ridah Ent. produced all of the 'sound environments' for this book and all books in this festival: https://beautifulblackbird.com/

Right now, especially right now, it is time to expose yourselves and your children to the beauty in the world, especially indigo beauty, and absorb it deep within your hearts and minds. 

Set some time aside this evening to let the legendary and name sake for this festival, Ashley Bryan, read you a story about a Beautiful Blackbird. 



Mission:

IAA’s BBCBF is a book festival to diversify the American experience and build a resilient new generation. 


Through colorful story books, written and illustrated by Black people, all children are invited to explore Black narratives and characters. 


BBCBF is particularly focused on reaching a Black and Brown audience so that these children can see themselves reflected in beautiful stories and pictures.
