Enjoy this very special baby, infant, and toddler book subscription! Sunshine books are mindfully and lovingly chosen by our Curation Team for children ages 0-2 years old. These beautiful board books chosen for your babies, infants, and toddlers both ignite imagination and wonder and feature diverse and traditionally under-represented characters and families.

  • Enjoy board books curated especially for babies, infants, and toddlers.
  • Affirm your values of equity, anti-racism, social justice, inclusion, love, and yes, fun, while enjoying expert-curated, high-quality children's books with your child(ren).
  • Our books proudly feature racially and ethnically diverse, LGBTQ+, disabled, feminist, and other traditionally under-represented characters and families in children's books.
  • Feel pride knowing you're exercising your consumer power to be counted in support of diverse children's books. OurShelves advocates for the many diverse books still needed, in part by proving the significant, yet largely under-estimated, audience for such books through our growing membership.
  • Our Curation Team members who review your books share expertise from librarianship, teaching, early childhood development, psychology, racial and other identity bias, and parenting. All Curation Team members -- and their children -- share the lived experience of being under-represented in children's books.
  • After your first shipment, books arrive quarterly -- in March, June, September, and December.
  • Free shipping.

Wonderful gift

I shared this gift with a friend as a first birthday gift and these are some of her daughter's favorite books. Each box has sparked important conversations about identity with her family. It was such a hit that I bought a subscription for anther friend on her son's first birthday. Thank you so much for curating such a wonderful selection of stories! It has been a joy sharing them with my friends who are new parents.

Great baby shower gift!

Our daughter’s (and our) favorite books are always from OurShelves! At various times over the past two years we have been really into Rosa Loves Cars, Muy Verde, Pride Colors, Baby Goes to Market, and Show Me Your Day. We have gone on to buy all the Rosa books (and Clive!). OurShelves is highly recommended by this two mom (special educator and speech-language pathologist) family!

We love our sunshine box!

I highly recommend OurShelves! As a mother of a biracial son and a mental health counselor I very much appreciate the variety of cultures, perspectives, and representation of different types of families that are seen in these books. Having them delivered quarterly is perfect for us to build our library without being overwhelmed by too many books. We have been getting the sunshine box and my 1 year old loves the books- often choosing them for his bedtime stories- and they have been favorites for months! We are excited to try the rainbow box next!

OurShelves is a quarterly diverse book box for children.

We curate high-quality children’s books that feature racially and ethnically diverse, LGBTQ+, disabled, feminist, and other characters and families currently under-represented in kids’ books.

We advocate for the many more diverse books still needed, in part by proving the significant audience for such books through our growing membership.
