Welcome to Ìyá ni wúrà – the monthly book box subscription service for Black mothers and their children. Our name is of Yoruba descent and means “Mother is as precious as gold”. We believe that mothers deserve to indulge in self-care and spend quality time with their children while exploring the rich diversity of literature by Black authors.

Our mission is to provide you and your child with a diverse and inclusive reading experience that reflects the richness of the Black experience. Our curated selection of books by Black authors is designed to showcase a wide range of voices, experiences, and perspectives, with an emphasis on discovering emergent and diverse voices from Africa, the Caribbean, and across the diaspora.

Our curated book boxes cater to various reading levels and interests, igniting yours and your child’s imagination on an exhilarating literary adventure.

Each box not only promotes diversity, but also supports 4 to 5 Black-owned businesses, offering a carefully curated collection of books, bookmarks, activity sheets, and delightful surprises. Immerse your child in the joy of reading while nurturing a deep love for literature.

As a cherished member of our community, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to engaging events, thought-provoking author interviews, and a whole lot more.

Join us today and embark on a journey that celebrates the magic of storytelling.
