Children's Books are for ALL of Us.

Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more vibrant and wonderful.

In Just Ask, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have.

When the tsunami destroyed Makio's village, Makio lost his father . . . and his voice. The entire village is silenced by grief, and the young child's anger at the ocean grows.  Mr. Hirota begins a mysterious project--building a phone booth in his garden. It just sits there, unable to ring. But as more and more villagers are drawn to the phone booth, its purpose becomes clear to Makio.

Children's books are a beautifully accessible way for readers of all ages to be inspired.  There are millions of children's books in the world and just a small percentage receive wide recognition.  Searching for just the right book can be daunting and isolating.  Every child AND adult deserves to see themselves, their families, their cultural experiences, their special abilities, and their hard questions depicted in the pages of books.  It's our passion that all readers are empowered through the curation of stories within our shop.

Teaching young children about body boundaries, both theirs and others, is crucial to a child’s growing sense of self, their confidence and how they should expect to be treated by others. A child growing up knowing they have a right to their own personal space, gives that child ownership and choices as to what happens to them and to their body.
