CELEBRATING CHILDREN'S BOOKS
Melanin Child Stories
Melanin Child Stories is an inclusive bookshop specialised in children's and adult books that are underrepresented in this society. MCS exists ,aims to support diverse authors. Our journey started through a pop-up shop hosted by SASBS Events, who were willing to support Small Business. Thanks to the amazing response and encouragement from the community, Melanin Child Stories kept on growing.
We wouldn't exist without the support of passionate people and readers!
