Description

Discover a full year of joy, creativity, and brilliance from Black voices around the world.

Curated by award-winning author Jamia Wilson and brought to life with vibrant, full-color illustrations by Jade Orlando, A Year of Black Joy gathers 52 contemporary Blackcreators, innovators, thinkers, and visionaries--one for every week of the year--to celebrate the passions that bring them alive.

From chess strategy to stargazing, beekeeping to baking, storytelling to science, each contributor invites readers into their world with a personal reflection rooted in joy, curiosity, and cultural pride.

This beautifully crafted anthology highlights the many dimensions of Black life, uplifting everyday creativity, achievement, and wonder. The collection spans a wide spectrum of fields--including astronomy, astrology, music, activism, culinary arts, environmental stewardship, and more--all tied to seasons, celebrations, and meaningful moments across the year. Readers will also find engaging nonfiction features, such as guides to healing plants, night-sky tours, and hands-on activities that extend each contributor's passion.

Perfect for classrooms, families, libraries, and young readers ages 6-12, this keepsake volume shines with energy, color, and inspiration. Whether read week-by-week or savored in big joyful bites, A Year of Black Joy offers an affirming, expansive, and empowering vision of Black creativity and possibility.

A celebration to return to year after year--one that invites every reader to honor what brings them joy too.
