OurStory

Team's Mission

To provide an easy-to-use resource — for kids, teens, parents, and educators — to discover diverse books.

Critical Statistics, Achievements, and Other Relevant Information

After WNDB was formed in 2014, our team traveled across the country to conferences and book festivals where they heard a common theme — diverse books can be hard to find. That’s why we created OurStory to help address this problem.

The OurStory app is a tool that highlights books with diverse content and by content creators from marginalized communities.
