I am a homeschooling mother of 5 children aged 8,7,6,4 and 2. It makes sourcing literature for my children easy and supports my ethos of exposing them to learning materials that promote cultural pride. The selection of books has been excellent, age appropriate and introduced us to wonderful authors... I highly recommend!
We absolutely love Imagine Me Stories! The quality of the books is beautiful, and there is such a lovely selection of engaging and diverse books to choose from. My daughter absolutely loves receiving them and gets so excited to read them. I love reading them with her too!
It’s such a lovely way to encourage her love for reading, and I really value the representation in the books. Seeing herself reflected in the stories and the characters she reads about is so important.
I think it’s fantastic value for money and we have loved every book we’ve received so far.
I would highly recommend Imagine Me Stories to any parent looking for beautiful, meaningful and enjoyable books for their children! ❤️📚✨
My daughter loves these books. They are amazing, empowering and interesting. We both look forward to the next delivery
My son is excited each month when he sees the parcel! Getting a new book each month is so much fun and what’s great is that it also represents his heritage. Every book we have received has been loved! Some are more based black history and cover difficult topics and others are just fun stories - both are well received. The package also contains activity sheets featuring black people who have achieved great things! I would totally recommend this subscription .. even if you don’t have children of black heritage.
My daughter looks forward to this delivery every month, there's always a great selection for her age range (she's 5) with some short and some chapter books. Great mix of fiction and some specific focuses on people. My only gripe would be there are still the occasional U.S. centric books rather than UK language and historical figures.
All in All would highly recommend! ALOT of thought and consideration is obviously given to each selection, thank-you
I purchased the subscription for my 5yr old Granddaughter and she loves the books and activity sheets. I find they are varied and have a different theme each month. The activity sheets are of a high quality and the books are absolutely great. Even the packaging has had a lot of thought put into it and is full of positive affirmations. This is perfect and definitely fills in the educational gap of black history and learning about self from a Melanated perspective. 10 out of 10. Thank you for creating this Keisha.
Me and my 4yo have been loving each book that comes from our subscription every month. The puzzle and history knowledge are also perfect! Thank you for all you do
We love our Imagine Me Stories subscription. Every month my daughter gets so excited when her box arrives, and we always enjoy sitting down together to read the books and do the activities.
The books are beautifully chosen and introduce children to different cultures, inspiring people and important parts of Black history in a way that’s fun, engaging and age-appropriate. It’s sparked some lovely conversations at home and has broadened both our perspectives. I’d happily recommend Imagine Me Stories to any family wanting to encourage a love of reading while helping their children learn about diversity, inclusion and the world around them. Thank you for creating something so special!
I look forward to receiving our monthly delivery of black books each month not just my son. I am a very proud black woman and sometimes unable to be as knowledgeable as i would like with not much reading literature out there. Historical books would be brilliant if those could also be sourced. Keep doing what you are doing I am proud of you Keisha xx
I am currently on month 3 of my subscription, my daughter and I have really loved the books we have received. It’s exciting opening the package to see whats inside. The extras that come in the package are also great! Great idea and service thank you x
We love getting these books every month- both my life barnacles (6 & 8) can’t wait to open the box and see what’s inside. The activity sheets are so important and always lead to such interesting chats with them. And the books!!! Love it that not only they represent what should be mainstream but also cover topics & insights that you don’t find written about here in the uk
…for the little ones in your life!
I've been following Imagine Me Stories since long before I became a mum. As an Early Years teacher and a Black woman, I already understood how important it is for children to see themselves reflected in the books they read. I knew that one day, when I had children of my own, I would want them to grow up surrounded by stories that celebrated and represented them.
Fast forward to today, and watching my son receive these books has been so special. The stories are engaging, beautifully illustrated, and filled with Black characters simply being children—exploring, learning, dreaming, and having adventures. That kind of representation is powerful.
I look forward to reading new stories with my daughter . Building a library that will embrace her original and ethnic background is crucial for her understanding where and what she is made of .. Thank you for interesting and versatile stories ..
The stories are amazing. I saw the posts and I fell in love with the representation. And the history. She is young and isn’t currently interested in the inventors. No matter how I try to but. I love it. And I would definitely recommend
I bought three books for my son - Dentist (First Time), We Are All Neighbours and Hello! A Counting Book of Kindness. I highly recommend them. Representation matters. Children should see themselves in the media they are exposed to
My kids love receiving these boxes in the mail!
I've been a member or imagine me stories since my daughter was in my belly. She is now 5 and shes loves getting her new books every month and she gets so excited for the activity sheets. The books we receive are amazing quality and such a joy to read. My daughter loves reading and we attend the library a lot but these books bring a difference to your usual every day books.
really interesting books and worksheets that provided facts on black history rasiky for my child to understand, my child loved the books but his interest swayed into more of a comic style. His favourite book was the Colin Kaprnick
great stuff
As a black mum myself, I’m so happy there are a range of black books I can purchase for my little boy to learn about his culture :)
Cannot wait to purchase more as he gets older!
Absolutely love it. My daughter really liked it. Will definitely recommend
Loved the packaging and was pleasantly surprised at the contents, got more than expected, the prints are all high quality and the Grand Princess loves her package too.
My daughter received her second instalment and she loves the books 123 do the robot and loving kindness! These books not only build a child’s imagine and create confidence allowing a child to know they can do and be anything they want when they grow up but they help children to widen their vocabulary and pick up new and existing words that they can use to build sentences with! The authors are people of colour and the characters are from the continent of Africa and beyond! Thank you, it’s a great business and I will continue to use for a very long time to come! Thank you
I live in central Detroit, MI and have a Little Free Library in front of my house. Since gentrification began in my community, I noticed that neighbors’ donations did not include enough books reflecting OUR kids.These are the MOST beautiful, perfect books for Black children! I cannot thank you enough!!!
My kids love the stories in the book selection. Thanks for smooth and seamless purchase and delivery.
