ABOUT US
Brown Babies n’ Books is a Brooklyn-based, community-driven literacy nonprofit dedicated to building legacy through literacy, representation, and community. We create inclusive, culturally rooted spaces where babies, children, and families—especially BIPOC families—can see themselves reflected in the stories they read and the communities they belong to.
Through storytimes, sensory play, author collaborations, and community gatherings, we celebrate Black and Brown voices in children’s literature while supporting early literacy, family wellness, and intergenerational connection. Our programming centers joy, culture, and belonging—because representation matters from the very beginning.
Upcoming Events
Join Lofty Pigeon Books, Brown Babies N’ Books, and David Elmo Cooper for a special Saturday storytime to celebrate the publication of Greta Green Builds A Submarine, a beautifully illustrated picture book about a pint-size pioneer of the sea dreaming as big as the ocean!
Brooklyn-based illustrator David Elmo Cooper will read and draw from Greta Green Builds A Submarine, followed by a signing. Light refreshments will be served.
