the brown book box imagines a future where all kids have access to books with characters that look like them.

Investing in stories that serve our community
Over the past two years, we’ve been listening, learning, and dreaming alongside families and educators to reimagine how stories can do more. Our research and development phase has focused on one big question — how can we make storytime more engaging, inclusive, and impactful for every child?
This work has inspired our next chapter: Storybook Theatre, an enrichment experience that brings diverse children’s books to life through movement, imagination, and play. We’re partnering with local daycares to pilot this program, helping children not only read the story — but become part of it.

Our subscription service will return in 2026 with fresh stories, curated activities, and options designed for classrooms and families. Join our waitlist and be the first to know when we reopen subscriptions — and get early access to exclusive launch boxes.
