About Read the Room
At Read the Room, our sole purpose is to increase positive representation for children of color and showcase beautiful diversity to all readers. We chose the name Read the Room to show the positivity in the phrase, and reflect the inclusivity and awareness of our business. Each of our books will focus on a different character and culture, told through a fun and adventurous story. In the Mini Ville series, each story represents the experiences of a friend from our (the author and illustrator's) hometown. Even if we can positively affect one child's view of their own culture and other's, Read the Room will have accomplished our goal. 30% of our proceeds will be donated to PCRF, giving back to the communities we write our books for.
Reviews
“Seeing different cultures represented in fun and fantastical stories was beautiful to see. I love that the proceeds go back to helping those in need.”
Kristy Garcia, Minority Mixers
“Wanting to put on a sari is a feeling that almost every South Asian kid can relate to - I loved seeing representation for our little childhood experiences in "Slipping in Sarees".
