In honor of Women's History Month in March, please join us at the Milwaukee Public Library for a special book launch event for Dear Black Girl: I See You. Written by local author Ebony Haynes and illustrated by local artist Jasmine Grant, Dear Black Girl: I See You is a powerful celebration of the strength, resilience, and beauty of Black girls. Through heartfelt affirmations and inspiring messages, Ebony Haynes offers a reminder that every Black girl is seen, valued, and capable of greatness. Perfect for readers of all ages, this book inspires self-love, confidence, and pride in one’s identity. A must-have for anyone uplifting Black girls, it’s more than a book—it’s a movement.

Join us at Central Library for an intimate story-time with Ebony and Jasmine, followed by a discussion and Q&A at this all-ages event! Book sales and signing will be held after the event.
