October marks Black History Month in the UK and in Ireland. At DK we’ve put together some unique and inspiring titles that explore Black experiences, Black lives and allyship to help reader learn, reflect, commemorate and celebrate Black History Month.

Because we can all be allies

As an ally you use your power-no matter how big or small-to support others. You learn, and try, and mess up, and try harder.

In this collection of true stories, 17 critically acclaimed and bestselling YA authors get real about being an ally, needing an ally, and showing up for friends and strangers. From raw stories of racism and invisible disability to powerful moments of passing the mic, these authors share their truths. They invite you to think about your own experiences and choices and how to be a better ally.

A donation of 5% net sales in the UK will be donated to The Black Curriculum.
