About our Guest:

Stephanie Reed and her husband founded MiJa Books last year during the COVID pandemic. What started out as a book review website quickly pivoted into a full fledged e-bookstore that showcases children’s picture books that feature children of color on the front cover and as main characters. Their mission is to find and showcase multicultural and diverse children’s books and to create a platform for indie and self-publishers to reach a greater audience.
