Important News Update!   Ashay by the Bay is now partnering with Amazon to sell our Ashay's African American Children's School Collections line on the Amazon Business Platform.  We are doing this so that Schools and Educators who purchase on Amazon can also purchase our African American Children's School Collections for Pre-School - 6th Grade.  These 8 collections are custom built and most of the books are perfect for Core Curriculum studies in the classroom.   We are looking forward to working with Amazon to provide more African American literature to the schools.
