We believe that Black lives matter.
Black stories matter.
Black history matters.
Black childhood matters.
Black joy matters.
Black sorrow matters.
Black voices matter.
We believe…
All children deserve to see themselves represented in literature.
Children of color deserve to see themselves represented in ordinary stories in which a character’s race is not their defining characteristic.
The canon of children’s literature must feature authors of color and texts that portray a diverse range of experience.
We do that by…
Bringing diverse stories written by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) authors to Little Free Libraries, classrooms, and organizations across the United States and beyond.
All donations go towards purchasing books from Black-owned bookstores.
We strive to amplify and empower Black and Brown voices and narratives.
