Today, we have grown into a vibrant and diverse community focused on sharing books and gifts that inspire children to be compassionate, creative and curious global citizens.
For nearly three decades, we have worked with talented writers, storytellers, illustrators and musicians from all over the globe to create over 900 books and gifts that open children’s hearts and minds.
