And if sharing read aloud videos, please seek out ones that abide by copyright and don't take away from their ability to earn an income from their writing & art.

This Virtual Picture Book Read Aloud Library is a Google Slideshow covering 233 titles, in 7 categories, with book covers linking directly to copyright-compliant video read alouds of recommended picture books. 
Categories include:

Black Joy & Magic
Families
Natural Hair
Empowering Stories
Black History
Excellence / Innovators / History Makers (Biographies)
Racial / Community Awareness
