Tutu’s Storybooks was founded in 2013 in an effort to close the access gap to authentic African Diaspora representation in the early childhood classroom and also the broader community at large. Tutu’s Storybooks is a Black-owned and woman-owned business based out of Montgomery County, MD. Our Founder originates from Sierra Leone, West Africa. In 2018 we merged with Sahara Educare Services LLC to provide private family support services, teacher coaching, and infant and early childhood mental health consultation. And so Sahara Educare Services LLC w/Tutu’s Storybooks has been flourishing ever since. Together these product and service duo promote positive racial identity development in early education through early literacy and reflective & resilient families.
