Whether through our accessible online store, pop-up shops, or school book fairs, every purchase supports our mission to foster equity in reading and bring diverse, enriching stories to young minds everywhere.
Before finding My Story Scout, I had spent hundreds of dollars on books that my son never even opened. It was so frustrating. I initially tried here to save some money, but I've also been pleasantly surprised with the books we've received. Not only does my son love the personalized selections, but he's finally READING the books that I buy him. And even though I'm now actually buying more books as a result, I'm STILL saving money. Love you guys!
Great customer service, with a diverse, high-quality selection that teachers can afford. This is the solution I needed.
