Children’s books that reflect the richness of the human experience through diversity, inclusion, and access are catalysts for change.

We strive for diverse representation in our faculty, staff, students, and partnerships. By fostering forward-moving dialogues, we encourage personal and institutional growth through education, awareness, and action.
