Goony Goo-Goo and Ga-Ga Too: A New African American Children's Book by Kia Smith

From time to time I spotlight the books of Black Authors featured on Black Writers Connect. Today's spotlight book is 'Goony Goo-Goo and Ga-Ga Too' a beautifully illustrated African American Children's book by Kia Smith.

About this book: Goony Goo-Goo and Ga-Ga Too! is a whimsical tale of two sisters, Selena and Celeste who are less than enthusiastic about their new baby brother. They plot and plan to communicate with him in a secret baby language in order to get the baby to do what THEY want! They tell the baby boy he has to earn his keep by doing some of their dirty work like taking out the trash! That is until mom figures out their presumptuous plot! The results are hilarious! But the sisters also learn to love and accept their new sibling--even if it means they can't get their way. Children of all ages will enjoy the cadence, rhythm and rhyme of this book and soon you'll find your child chanting Goony Goo-Goo and Ga-Ga Too! You can get a copy of this African American Children's Book Today: Goony Goo-Goo and Ga-Ga Too.

I designed this particular guide for Black Parents who are interested in making Afrocentric Learning and exposure to Black Culture an integral part of their children’s development. From support groups to online activities, within this book is an extensive list of over 200 links created just for you and your children. Though it’s often times hard to tell, the internet is actually filled with an increasing number of positive, multicultural web pages. Some are a little harder to find than others, but that’s why you have me to do the searching so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the sites!
