Imagine Better: an Optimistic Black Lives Matter Summer Reading List

Cover of Calling on Dragons. A giant blue donkey with enormous white wings grins as he flies a sword-wielding hero with streaming dark hair and a flapping pink cape (I'm guessing that's Cimorene?) to the top window of a grey stone tower. Inside the window are two figures: a woman with long, dark red hair and a balding man with lighter red hair. Both are staring out at the donkey, whose back legs are straddling a manila banner that says "Patricia C. Wrede."

Would the OG Dragon Queen please stand up?

Cropped image of the buttery yellow cover of SVH book 62, "Who's Who?" The red, letter-jacket-style series title curves around a circle in the center of the cover. Inside the circle, Elizabeth and Jessica stand against a pinkish-brown background. Elizabeth, on the left, is wearing a grey dinner jacket on top of a black top or dress that cuts straight across the chest. She's wearing a black beret over curly, pale blond hair. Her left arm is folded across her middle, supporting her right elbow. Her right hand is shading her right eye, like she's exasperated or embarrassed, and she's looking over her shoulder at Jessica, with an amusedly embarrassed smile. Jessica, meanwhile, is grinning confidently to the lower-left corner of the book, her arms crossed to show a series of multicolored bangles. She's wearing a simple, three-quarter-sleeved black dress punctuated by a wild statement necklace made up of multicolored fish. She has a pale blue streak in her curly, pale-blond hair. The tag-line under the circle reads: "Will the real Jessica please stand up?" and the book title is in large purple letters at the bottom of the cover.

Cover of the Binti audiobook. A dark background, in front of which you see a woman's face, with two hands spread open at either side of her face. She has dark skin, with streaks of red clay on both her face and her hands.
