“Your books are handpicked by me, the founder and curator of Stories of Color. As a mom of 3, I can’t wait to help your family find just the right books.”
Parents everywhere love us
“The antidote to white-only stories and history.”
“Thank you for this wonderful resource, you’re changing the world for the better!”
“I’ve already used this resource so much I can hardly believe just two years ago I was able to homeschool without it!”
Finding diverse living books that are just right for your children shouldn’t be so hard
Stories of Color was created by a biracial, seasoned Charlotte Mason homeschooler who was dissatisfied with the predominantly white, euro-centric book lists and resources so commonplace among teaching communities and curriculums. If we’re truly looking to provide future generations with a rich, holistic education, it requires we share more diverse, multicultural history and stories that bring new ideas, experiences, and perspectives to life for our children.
In this personalized book plan for your family, you’ll gain that and more. Look forward to books that meet the hopes and dreams of your children, providing them both windows and mirrors into cultures and perspectives that resonate with and move them. As a bonus, over 75% of the books handpicked for your children will be authored by people of color, ensuring you lift up and honor the voices that have too often been marginalized.
This personalized book plan for your family will inspire you and your children with stories that you’ll never forget and make a lasting impact in how you view the world—with compassion.

In cases where you have 5 or more children, typically, our plans for 4 children will accomplish your reading goals, providing you with nearly 50 books to choose from that will span the ages and interests of your other children. If two of your children are close in age and reading level, we encourage you to start with those recommendations as options. You can always purchase another personalized reading plan later, as well, if you’re looking for additional selections.
