I have been unable to find any age appropriate, black magazines for my daughters. While it is nice to have an online resource, children still need hard copies of books and magazines. I am puzzled as to why I can easily find other magazines such as Highlights, American Girl, etc. in newstands and bookstores, yet I can not find anything comprarable that focuses on the wonderful African American culture. What can be done to encourage the publishers of the adult African American magazines to also publish a product appropriate for school age children? I would love to see Ebony Jr. back in print.

I loved the fact that there was a magazine just for me... I was so disappointed when I stopped receiving my monthly magazine... I also received some great books from Johnson Publishing Company... There are still a few books that I'm looking for today... I wish my child was able to experience the magazine the way I did!!!
