Stories of a Colorful World
is a children’s book retailer that understands every child deserves to see themselves in the books they read. We carry books featuring diverse representations of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) main characters, written by BIPOC authors because they are grossly underrepresented in the children’s book market.
We want children to grow up embracing their bold, brilliant and beautiful selves, so we believe they should be surrounded by stories as colorful as the world they live in.
