I love that all the characters in this book, Michelle Goes To The Bank, are female. I think this is an empowering book to read to our daughters. A little girl opens up her first bank account after selling all of her books. This is the kind of real-life literature we need to start the conversation about business and financial literacy with our BIPOC kids. Recommended for kids 6-8 years of age.

The book allowed for open and honest discussion with my students from grades 2nd thru 5 th. #weneeddiversebooks Students loved that the author and I had conversations about my use of the book and they are hoping for a video chat or visit

I purchased this book for my school library for Black History Month. I ended up using it to anchor all of my lessons for the month. The students' faces lit up as I read the words. They identified with the experience of being taught VERY little about the accomplishments of African Americans. The story is written as if it is a script taken from a day in school as students experience it. Very relatable.

This book is amazing for all children, it will even refresh the adult mind. This book shares the greatness of black investors and motivates children to be all they came to be. Absolutely love this book.

My children and I really enjoyed this book, Imagine Life Without African American Inventors. We learned many new things about African American Inventors, things that we had no clue about. I'm glad that this book was given to my children. We will always cherish it. 🙂

I bought this book, Imagine Life Without African American Inventors for my 6yr old and he loved it. The book was very informative and easy to read for him. He didn’t understand some of the content so we researched together. All in all a really nice book.

These books are easy to follow and the illustrations are lively. The story will inspire any young child who wants to be a writer. This story will also help children build up their self esteem to persevere and breakthrough any challenges they may have. I trust this author's writing. Thanks for another awesome book!!!
