The Black Culture Box curates books for children featuring Black characters.
Culture is defined as the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. Through our work in education, social justice, media and civil rights advocacy, we know the significance of literature and the written word in Black Culture.
We also understand the importance of reading and of Black children seeing themselves in the books they read. Children’s books are key to establishing social and cultural identity. When children see images of themselves in books it promotes their psychological well-being. Reading helps children’s imaginations come alive and helps them discover new things about their history, science, art, sports and the world. Reading can also make children more confident and creative.
It can be challenging to find books featuring Black characters in mainstream stores. And it can be equally as challenging to identify high quality content buying online. The Black Culture Box does the work fo you by identifying books that are mentally engaging and culturally reflective of the interests of young minds.
The Black Culture Box is making it easy for you to
purchase culturally relevant books in just three clicks.
