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.
The My Reading Journey Journal incorporates reading challenges, personal growth, reading comprehension and tools for parents to help coach their little reader to identify the main idea, story setting, character traits, story sequence and authors purpose. There are 4 reading challenges and enough entries for 36 books! This journal doesn't just end either, there is a reflection section so that your little reader can see how far they have come during their reading journey.
