Children’s books that reflect the richness of the human experience through diversity, inclusion, and access are catalysts for change.
We developed our Essential Conversations programming to amplify the need and call for more diverse, inclusive, and accessible books.
We want to provide craft, education, and community-building for creatives and professionals in and around the children’s book industry.
Join us in these essential conversations, for professional development opportunities and for in-community courses and retreats.
