Book Parties

Our quarterly Book Parties keep your kids connected to their Black Men Read tribe from anywhere, all year round. In this “Reading Rainbow”-like experience, your kids get to start their day with a story from the African diaspora, read to them by our Reader Corps. The difference: this is LIVE, and your kids get to interact with the reader and each other. (Imagine talking to LeVar!) After the story, your kids take a wiggle break, do an on-theme activity, and show ‘n tell with their friends. We also welcome them as members of our tribe with the official BMR Chant.

Book Parties are in-person and open to any family who registers. To reach more families, Book Parties are also broadcast on Facebook Live. This makes the recordings available for families who can’t attend at the scheduled time. Be sure to ‘Like’ Black Men Read on Facebook to stay in the loop.

BMR can also host virtual events. If your group is interested in hosting a virtual event, please fill out our contact form.

As with everything BMR, featured books will center stories from the African diaspora, including many from our Kids Club Kits.
