“When children cannot find themselves reflected in the books they read, or when the images they see are distorted, negative, or laughable, they learn a powerful lesson about how they are devalued in the society of which they are a part.”
-Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop
ABOUT
Black Worldschoolers Mobile Bookstore’s mission is to provide access and awareness to Black stories as well as excitement and engagement around reading. In 2018 we made a collective decision to transition out of conventional schooling to home education.
​
We immediately and excitedly began searching for resources that reflected the African Diaspora and building our home library. Our growing library full of Black stories primarily by Black authors across all genres increased our son's love for reading. In fact, they became “flashlight under the cover readers.”
​
While they read out of obligation in school or kept up with popular titles their peers were reading, access to this new world of books shaped their identities as readers and made books enjoyable as well as positively impactful. Witnessing our son's love for reading grow daily caused me to imagine the possibilities for other children. Our mobile bookstore makes Black stories accessible, and our method of delivery makes them irresistible.
Book the bus for your event and follow us on social media to see upcoming events!
​
We are passionate about creating excitement and engagement around reading and equally passionate about inspiring people to build their OWN home libraries! Your book purchases, partnerships, sponsorships and donations will help make it happen!
THANK YOU!
We are so happy to share this journey with us. You're family now.

Providing mirrors for many and windows for all. Welcome to our world!
