BIPOC Authors to Provide a Familiar Perspective for Your Child!

It can be hard to know where to start when looking for the right book for a third grader. With so many choices, it can be hard to find a book that is both right for the child’s age and interesting. If you want to find a book that will interest and inspire your child, you might want to think about one written by an Indian American author.

Indian American authors see the world in a unique way and write in a wide range of voices for children’s books. Here are some of the best books for second graders by Indian American & BIPOC authors that your child should read:
