Ruckus Children’s Books

A mobile children’s bookstore and events partner

Ruckus Children’s Books is a Brooklyn-based mobile bookstore and community partner focused on collective liberation, bringing radical, joyful, and inclusive stories to your neighborhood and events!

When kids and young adults have access to stories that reflect their identities and possibilities, everything changes. They grow more confident, more curious, more willing to speak up and stand tall!

Reading is a tool for agency, imagination, and collective liberation.

Ruckus Children's Books was created to give kids access to stories that spark courage, curiosity, connection, and imagination.

Ruckus brings a curated selection of inclusive, empowering children’s books directly to neighborhoods, schools, and community spaces, along with events, workshops, and partnerships that center kids’ agency, interests, and joy.

SUPPORT THE RUCKUS MOBILE VAN PROJECT!

The van is almost twenty years old and in need of some real love before it can get back on the road and deliver books to the community.

Right now, the van needs a new airbag sensor, proper shelving, and a fresh paint job before it can officially become the Ruckus mobile bookstore.

If you’d like to help bring the Ruckus van to life, your support goes directly toward getting it road‑ready.
