HOW WE BEGAN
Brown Book Box began with two mothers and friends who shared the same struggle — finding children’s books where our kids could truly see themselves. We wanted stories filled with joy, culture, and imagination that reflected the world around them.
What started as a simple idea — curating diverse books and hands-on crafts for our children — quickly became a passion project that reached families far beyond our own. As our kids grew, so did our understanding of what it takes to build confident, capable readers.
Today, Brown Book Box has evolved from books and art activities to a holistic model grounded in the science of reading and experience-based learning. Our storytimes, theatre workshops, and book selections are designed not only to nurture a love of stories, but to help every child build the literacy skills and self-belief to write their own.

Our Subscription Service Is Getting a Story Upgrade!
We’re taking time to reimagine our book boxes — building on everything families loved, and adding new ways to connect reading, play, and culture. Our subscription service will return in 2026 with fresh stories, curated activities, and options designed for classrooms and families.
