Just Us Books, Inc. is an independent publishing company specializing in books and learning materials for children and young people. It focuses on Black history, Black culture and Black experiences. Founded by Wade Hudson and Cheryl Willis Hudson in 1988, this innovative company is now considered one of the leading publishers of Black interest titles for young people.
Just Us Books has had a major impact on the publishing industry from its inception. When the company released its first title, AFRO-BETS® ABC Book, there were very few Black interest books being published and widely distributed. The pioneering efforts of the Hudson's have helped to demonstrate that there is a viable market for Black interest books. Today, more Black interest books for children and young people are published annually, and more of these books find their way onto the shelves of book stores and retail outlets.
