A casita full of stories
Stories that
come to you.
A traveling bookshop, rolled right up to your corner of the world.
The Story Casita brings hand-picked books to markets, events, neighborhoods, and pop-ups. Find us, browse a while, and take home your next favorite read.
Our story
A bookshop with no fixed address — and that's the magic.
The Story Casita started with a simple belief: a good book should be easy to stumble upon. So we packed our shelves into a casita on wheels and hit the road, popping up where people already gather.
Every title is hand-selected with care — the kind of collection you’d find in a beloved neighborhood shop, only it rolls right up to your favorite market, festival, or street corner.
We’re two readers who can’t help sharing what we love. You’ll rarely catch us without a book or an e-reader in hand, and The Story Casita grew straight out of that: a way to pass along the stories that have meant the most to us.
Hand-picked
A tight, thoughtful selection — never overwhelming.
Comes to you
We set up where your community already is.
Personal picks
Tell us what you love and we’ll match you.
Voices we love
Championing indie, BIPOC, women, and LGBTQ+ authors.
Where we pop up
If people gather there, the casita can go there.
- Markets & festivals
- Schools & libraries
- Private events, parties & celebrations
- Corporate & community pop-ups
The readers behind the casita
A husband-and-wife team — proudly Black and Puerto Rican-founded — sharing the stories we love, one stop at a time.
Monique
Founder · Reader-in-chief
The one who reads the back cover first and still gets surprised by the ending. Monique curates every shelf with the conviction that the right book finds you — sometimes it just needs a push.
Kevin
Co-founder · Resident lore-keeper
The one who turns every book into a conversation. Kevin keeps the lore — the backstories, the author rabbit holes, the moments that make browsing the casita feel like a visit with a very well-read friend.
