Why We Do It
Every child has a story worth telling.
Some children have abundant opportunities to learn, create, and share their voices. Others face barriers that make even basic educational opportunities difficult to access.
We believe these children should not be separated by those differences. Through creativity and kindness, children can help create opportunities for one another.
Every story we publish is a small step toward creating greater opportunities for children. Through children’s writing, book publishing, literacy programs, and community partnerships, we are building connections between children who may live thousands of miles apart.
