Brought to you by Mommas

Every child deserves to feel seen, loved, and valued. We created this box to foster a love for reading and storytelling in our children and yours. Together, we’re helping our children re-shape their world and its possibilities.

Stories to celebrate

Each box centers around a theme your kids will love (superheroes, Black History). We'll help you build a library of excellent books that center Black characters and experiences of Black people across the diaspora. 

Engage the whole family

Explore the world with curiosity, together! The Our Black Stories Book Box comes with activities designed by Black educators that combine cultural and academic literacy through playful games, writing prompts and discussion.
