From Toni Trent Parker, co-founder and director of the bookstore and book club Black Books Galore, comes this interactive journal designed expressly for young African-American girls. I always want to celebrate when... If I were a parent I would NEVER... My name was chosen because... Like other journals, this book allows a young girl to express herself - her experiences, dreams, likes and dislikes. It encourages her with "thought-provoker" questions, fill-in spaces, and list suggestions. But unlike other journals, this book is crafted specifically for African-American girls to share their unique point of view and experiences. Captions with inspiring quotes, and questions designed specifically with African-American girls in mind enrich this journal and make it a beautiful keepsake. This embracing, encouraging book puts African-American heritage and culture in the forefront, allowing girls to express themselves in a more comfortable, familiar medium.

Here it is, summer vacation, and Sienna's parents have already ruined it. They have this crazy idea that the family should stop off and visit black historical sites on their way to their North Carolina family reunion. As far as Sienna is concerned, summer is supposed to be about fun, not about learning! But Sienna is in for a wonderful surprise. Somehow along the way from the Amistad in New Haven, Connecticut, to the Apollo Theater in New York City, to the Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, to the Frederick Douglass House in Washington, D.C., Sienna discovers that learning can be an adventure. 
Sienna's Scrapbook invites readers along on her family's vacation a trip filled with great places, great food, and great fun!
