Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall
5.0

I loved everything about this book. Black main character, father actively parenting his children, the universality of overcoming fears. A very simple but meaningful story about a young boy trying to get the courage to jump off the high dive for the first time. His dad's awesome advice is to think of it more as a surprise. Varied illustration and text layouts add visual interest as well.
