Meet The Author
Latoshia Martin
Hi, I am Latoshia Martin. The owner and creator of Martin’s Children’s Books, LLC. My first book under my company is Black Boy Be You!
I am a wife, mother, educator, and now a new author. Writing children’s books have always been a dream of mine. As an educator for fifteen years, writing children’s books is the next step in my personal evolution. Working with children for years and having two children of my own provided the insight that I used to help write my books. My author journey started while I was working from home because of COVID-19. I wanted to make positive use of my extra time.
Black Boy Be You! is my first children’s book. It is one of many books that I created during the summer. I felt this would be the best book to illustrate first because of our nation’s current racial climate. Black Boy Be You! was published in late September.
Reviews
Black Boy Be You! has become my son’s favorite bedtime story. He asks for it every night, and I love how it fills him with confidence and pride. Now, he looks in the mirror and says, ‘I love being me!’ Thank you for creating such a powerful and inspiring book!

As an educator, I am always searching for books that celebrate diversity while making learning engaging and meaningful. These books not only reflect the beauty of different cultures, but they also spark important conversations in the classroom.

I love my book AND my character doll! It’s like the story came to life right in my hands. Every night, I snuggle up with my mom as we read together, and I imagine myself right inside the adventure. During the day, my doll comes with me everywhere—on car rides, and even to bedtime.
– Jordan, Age 5
