Expert-curated for children ages 6-10+, this one-time Black History Month Box features books that explore significant leaders and moments in Black history. 

This box is especially important in this political and cultural climate during which Black history is being silenced and misrepresented through ever-increasing bans and legislation targeting Black history books and curriculum.

Sharing these books, leaders, movements, and social change strategies also provides concrete examples and real-world education around how change occurs. These books explore how many people through many different types of actions created, and still create, change toward the more fair, just, loving, equitable, inclusive, gentle world we seek -- offering the question: What actions can we, with our kids, take in this moment?

Orders for these boxes will be accepted until Tuesday, February 12th, and these boxes will ship out to you during the week of February 24th. 

Black History Month Boxes are in addition to, and NOT included, in subscriptions. There will be no overlap between the books in these boxes and the books in subscribers' March boxes.

Please note that the books in the images are examples of the types of books that you may receive in these boxes, depending on the box size you choose and available inventory.

The books in this box are critically reviewed and mindfully chosen by our Curation Team for children ages 6-10+ years old. 

• Affirm your values around diversity, Black history, equity, inclusion, social justice, activism, and love while sharing high-quality children's books with the special children in your world.
  
• 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 -- have the lived experience of being under-represented 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 currently under attack. We also advocate for the many more diverse books still needed. Together, we're proving to publishers the currently underestimated audience for these books, especially in times like these.
