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 Budding Reader Box is the perfect gift for a little reader in your life. Their box will include three books with diverse characters to help build their library with representative books, and 2-3 activities that help bring the theme for the month alive. The box also includes an occasional gift for your little reader and the contents change each month on the 1st, so this box can be gifted again in the future!
