⭐️ The Festival may be ending, but the conversations, connections & acts of empathy it inspires can continue long after today. As S.F. Said reminds us, books are among the greatest empathy engines ever invented, helping us step into someone else's shoes, broaden perspectives & understand each other

Every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the books they read. A family with an infant using an NG tube was given one of our books. They were surprised, overjoyed, to see a baby represented this way. Recognition, inclusion, feeling seen. Why we publish the books we do. #Bookswithusallin

Representation matters, not as a special feature, but as a normal, beautiful part of everyday life. Thank you to the family & The Family Connection non-profit Indiana, who partner with early learning programs to deliver events like where the family was introduced to Child’s Play. More on our Insta
