FEATURE: Top 10 New Series Nonfiction: 2025
Whether shining a light on noteworthy figures or events in history or helping young readers navigate the wider world, these new series tackle their topics in a particularly effective manner. All were reviewed in Booklist between April 1, 2024, and March 2025.
Black History Heroes (Bushel Peck; 2 titles)
Gr. 3-5. Though this series currently only boasts two titles (one on Chadwick Boseman, the other on Mae Jemison), these biographies provide nicely in-depth coverage of their subjects. Simple but thoughtful writing, inspiring quotes, and grayscale illustrations help bring these inspiring, multifaceted individuals to life.
