CELEBRATING CHILDREN BOOKS
Melanin Child Stories
Melanin Child Stories is an online independent, Black-owned bookshop based in Essex that specialises in the sale of Black children's books, which aims to make all children feel represented when it comes to literature. Our journey started through a pop-up shop hosted by SASBS Events, who were willing to support Small Business. Thanks to the amazing feedback and encouragement from costumers, Melanin Child Stories kept on growing.
