Woke Babies
A monthly book subscription for children in black communities
Our mission at Woke Babies is to get back to basics and help keep the art of reading books alive. We live in a time where children under the age of two can operate smart devices and entertain themselves for hours on end with digital images, videos and social media.
Now as great as it is for our babies and children to be able to navigate their way through this technological age, Woke Babies believe that there is no replacement for the fundamental skills and learning that reading books can bring.
We believe that when a child connects with a book it can help to transcend boundaries, enhance imagination and empower them to believe that anything is possible, and nowhere is this more important than in the black community. So, our mission is to keep our young black kings and queens “awoke” by keeping reading books alive.
