'I really want my kids to be able to see themselves in stories that they read,' said the founder of Brown Book Box.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Brytani Cavil's love for reading began when she was just a little girl. But, she didn't always have access to books with characters that looked like her or the people she was surrounded with growing up. She remembers having to advocate for more diverse literature in school.
As a mother of three, she wanted to create a solution to a problem she believes still exists. That's why Cavil and her best friend, Darriana Donegan, created thethree years ago. It's a monthly subscription box that ships to families with hand-picked selections of diverse books for young readers up to nine years old. The box also includes other items such as crafts, activities, T-shirts, and more.
Cavil said she spends hours researching book selections that feature characters from diverse backgrounds and storylines, so parents don't have to. She also makes her decisions with the help of her children, whom she calls her"quality control specialists."
