Pride Boxes are back! Celebrate Pride this June with our limited edition Pride Boxes! You'll choose the age group, and we'll send you some of our favorite expert-curated LGBTQ+ books from previous OurShelves boxes. This makes a great end-of-year gift for teachers, schools, and anyone else in your world excited to celebrate Pride during June -- and all year! Pride Boxes ship in June unless you reach out because you need them sooner.
Any questions? Please contact us at support@ourshelves.com.
Prefer to choose your own books? New this year, past and current members can check out our Build-Your-Own Pride Box options here.
Our books are mindfully and lovingly chosen by our Curation Team for children ages 0-8 years old.
- Cherish these expert-curated books selected for children ages 0-2 (Sunshine), ages 2-5 (Rainbow), or ages 5-8 (Treehouse).
- Affirm your values of equity, inclusion, social justice, love, and yes, fun and joy, while sharing high-quality children's books with the special children in your world.
- Pride Box selections feature a variety of LGBTQ+ identities.
- Our Curation Team members who review your books share expertise from librarianship, teaching, early childhood development, psychology, racial and other identity bias, and parenting. All Curation Team members -- and their children -- have the lived experience of being under-represented in children's books.
- Feel pride knowing you're exercising your consumer power to be counted in support of LGBTQ+ children's books. OurShelves advocates for the many LGBTQ+ and other diverse books under attack during this time of unprecedented book bans. We also advocate for the many more LGBTQ+ and other diverse books still needed. Together, we're proving to publishers the currently underestimated audience for these books!
- Free shipping within the US.

Reviews
OurShelves is a quarterly diverse book box for children.
We curate high-quality children’s books that feature racially and ethnically diverse, LGBTQ+, disabled, feminist, and other characters and families currently under-represented in kids’ books.
We advocate for the many more diverse books still needed, in part by proving the significant audience for such books through our growing membership.
How it Works
You choose the type of book box you receive every 3 months:
Sunshine Box (Ages 0-2)
Rainbow Box (Ages 2-5)
Treehouse Box (Ages 5-8)
Enjoy the peace of mind knowing that our Curation Team lives and breathes finding, and delivering to your doorstep, the very best books!
Cherish these special stories. Share them throughout your community. Also, share with us who and what types of stories are still missing on your shelves, which we can incorporate into our advocacy.
Your Subscription Matters
Our books affirm, empower, and connect.
Share our stories with your school,
or library, and as birthday, shower,
or holiday gifts.
Be counted. Publishers will create
more of these books as they understand just how many of us there are seeking these books.
