Story Starters equips families with strategies to raise children who have anti-racist values.
Story Starters uses children’s literature to support families in being color brave. We give families of all races age-appropriate tools and skills to preempt racial bias and build community change. Story Starters at-home curriculum supports 3-8 year olds and their families build empathy, support connection, and get into the habit of talking about race.

Yesterday was such a lovely morning back with Cambridge-Ellis School , gathered in the shade on a warm spring day, supporting families as they navigate conversations about immigration with their young children. We’re always grateful for the chance to partner with school communities that believe kids are ready for thoughtful, compassionate conversations about the world around them.
At Story Starters, we help families and educators begin community conversations on important topics through stories, guided discussion, and connection.

It's bittersweet to say goodbye to the amazing families of our first-ever program in Melrose. We celebrated with a story shared by the fabulous Gwendolyn Wallace, and perhaps the most intense game of trivia we've ever seen! Thank you to Melrose Unitarian Universalist Church, Allison Balter-Scarlatos, Meghan Rosenberg and everyone who poured their hearts into this program.
And if these photos are giving you FOMO - stay tuned for our news about our fall plans!!
