Cultured Books

Poetry, art, conversation and connection...that is culture. When you add children's books that help non white children to empower themselves by seeing themselves represented in books you get cultured books!

I love cultured books! Every time I visit I’m greeted with the warmest smiles, the kindest hearts, and the best selection of children’s books. cultured books helps me to ensure that the children in my life grow up reading stories that reflect the true diversity of our world. The beautiful books there are for all children.

Cultured Books has benefited the youth in our community so much! As a child, I had maybe two books with characters that looks like me (black and brown). Cultured books create an atmosphere that we belong, that we can achieve anything we want because we are illustrated in the books she sells! Children now has the opportunity to not only learn about themselves but other "minority" cultures. If I could give a ten star rating, I could because what Cultured Books provides is more than extraordinary!

As a librarian and mom, I understand the importance of exposing children to books that provide mirrors (characters who reflect ourselves) and doors (characters who are different, from whom we can learn). This is why cultured books is so good for St Pete. Several months ago, I attended a book signing for a former student at cultured books. I met and spoke with the owner, who was a kind and warm reading enthusiast. She even generously provided me with books for my Little Free Library. What a credit to the community. Thank you!
