Atlas Book Club Information

Atlas Book Club is a book subscription box compnay focused on globally diverse children's books. It was founded on the belief that the exposure of children to diverse cultures helps them cultivate global awareness, and an increasing sense of empathy, compassion, and celebration of all cultures. Studies have shown the importance of exposing children, starting at a young age, to cultural and global diversity. Some benefits include - learning to work with others from different backgrounds, helps counter discriminatory stereotypes, increased knowledge of history and understanding of world cultures, and prepares students to be global citizens for an increasingly globally diverse workforce. In addition, when kids see themselves represented in the books that they read, it helps them develop a strong sense of self and identity. Our mission is threefold - (1) to help children of all backgrounds see themselves in the books that they read; (2) to help children travel to different parts of the world and experience world cultures; and (3) to help shatter “the single story” and stereotypes.
