Currently, when researching and buying puzzles, I make sure to search for ones that feature images of children and adults that look like and motivate Sammy. Representation matters and is critical for young Black and Brown children. It is important that they see images of themselves on a daily basis in children’s literature, educational roles, puzzles, games, art, posters, and more. It is also essential that schools, child development centers, libraries, after school centers, recreational centers and more, do the same for ALL children by exposing them to our beautiful and diverse world.
PUZZLE HUDDLE is Remarkable!
My sister Beth introduced me to Puzzle Huddle, a Black owned puzzle company. They have a wide collection of diversity engrossed jigsaw puzzles that feature professions, religions, culture, fraternities, sororities, and more. Sammy’s home collection includes the following Puzzle Huddle Puzzles: Astronaut, Doctor, Noah’s Ark, Firefighter, Scientist, Chef, and Airman.
