OurShelves Diverse Children's Book Box

OurShelves is a quarterly children's book subscription built around one goal: putting high-quality books with diverse characters on kids' shelves. Its board books and picture books feature racially and ethnically diverse, LGBTQ+ and disabled characters, along with feminist themes and other under-represented characters and families. The books are chosen to spark imagination and wonder, and to be the kind kids ask to read again and again. Books are picked by a curation team with backgrounds in librarianship, teaching, early childhood development, psychology, identity bias and parenting. They're sorted into three age levels: - **Sunshine:** ages 0-2, board books - **Rainbow:** ages 2-5 - **Treehouse:** ages 5-8, picture books At each level you choose a 1-book or 3-book box. The brand describes the box as a way to affirm values of equity, anti-racism, social justice, inclusion, love and fun at story time. Your first box ships within 5-7 business days of ordering. After that, boxes arrive each quarter, in March, June, September and December, from the United States with free shipping, and you get a notification each time one ships. You can pay quarterly or prepay 2 or 4 deliveries. It's a lovely baby-shower or birthday gift, and an easy way for parents and grandparents to build a home library where every child can see themselves.
