The simple pleasure of reading a book with characters who look like you or live like you has been shown to improve self-esteem and increase self-acceptance in children. 

Our team speaks with countless parents, caregivers, and teachers about their struggles finding representative kids books. From those looking for a way to help the children in their lives feel more courageous and take pride in who they are to those quietly navigating grief. From Black parents to Latinx parents to Asian parents to multiracial parents. From queer parents to adoptive parents to single parents.

The more families we speak to, the more it becomes clear: Families need a place to go where they know there will be books that speak to their kids.

And now, we’re a one-of-a-kind bookshop specializing in kid-affirming book bundles for families like yours!
