Founded by, then, 9-year-old Rylei, The Brown Bookcase is an independent bookstore dedicated to showcasing diversity in children's literature. With a passion for inclusivity and representation, Rylei curates a collection of books that reflect the rich tapestry of cultures and experiences. Our mission is to inspire young readers by providing access to stories that resonate with all backgrounds. Join us in celebrating diversity, one book at a time!

"I was having trouble finding books to read with characters that look like me and that I could relate to. So, I wanted to start a bookstore for kids to be able to find books they are able to identify with." 

- Rylei, 2019
