Hello!
We are Kimberly and Christine, two moms who met in the early stages of parenthood and bonded over parenting fails and the monotony of reading the same bedtime story a million times as well as the joy of finding a beautiful, inclusive and well written book that our kids also enjoyed.
In 2020, when we learned of the killing of George Floyd, our conversations began to include how and when to discuss this event with our kids, and what we could do to make our community better. Around the same time, our close friend Daria Peoples’ book, America, My Love, America, My Heart, was scheduled to be released in the spring of 2021. It’s a beautifully lyrical book posing a question from an elementary school child about race, belonging, and identity in America. As avid readers, we knew books were a great way to explore the world, build empathy, and understand other perspectives. We couldn’t find any relatable, convenient, family friendly tools and activities that helped families start conversations about life topics. Since we couldn’t find anything we created booklove with the guiding belief that books can be a springboard to help families navigate life’s challenges in order to raise kind and compassionate kids.
We hope families will Read.Grow.Love with Spotlight Boxes, Book Bundles, and Book Subscriptions.
What is booklove?
booklove is a new literary experience for your kids that goes beyond the book with Spotlight Boxes, Book Bundles, and Book Subscriptions. Reading with your kids builds strong bonds, fosters communication, and helps raise kind, curious, and compassionate kids. Our love of reading was instilled in us by our moms who were avid readers who read everything from classic English literature to murder mysteries.
booklove collaborates with leading experts to bring you research backed and age appropriate products to help your family learn and grow.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help families read, grow, and love through books. We see books as springboards to broaden our understanding of the world and ourselves, and to promote empathy, understanding, and acceptance of others. We believe in the power of books to inspire, educate, and entertain. Here’s to a better world, one book at a time.
