Diversity & Inclusion
The Stories for All Project™
Illustrations copyright © 2020 by Suzanne Kaufman, taken from All Are Welcome, by Alexandra Penfold
As the world becomes smaller and increasingly diverse in its cultures and experiences, it is crucial that all children have access to books that serve as both windows and mirrors. Kids who see their own experiences reflected in books gain self-confidence, while reading about experiences that differ from their own helps kids develop healthy curiosity and empathy.¹
That is why we created the Stories for All Project™. Visit this page often to explore our ever-expanding selection of diverse books and resources and help your kids grow as readers, individuals, and citizens.
