Our mission is to:

Share stories. Connect families. Inspire children. This season, we are proud to present new products that inspire children to be open-minded, open-hearted and creative. You’ll find books that represent #OwnVoices experiences (see From My Window, page 3) and unique perspectives (see My Panda Sweater, page 9), as well as titles that embrace the power of community (see The More We Get Together, page 5, and The Right Place, page 7). Plus, our exciting new nonfiction books will cultivate the curiosity to learn and grow (see A Rainbow of Rocks, page 14, and Ready, Set, Go!, page 15). These new titles beautifully reflect our nearly 30-year commitment to creating visually captivating books that celebrate diversity and capture children’s imaginations. Our mission has endured over the years and feels more relevant today than it has ever been. Thank you for being a part of our movement to #OpenTheirWorld! With gratitude,

Everyone has a story to tell — and the #OwnVoices movement is trying to ensure that every voice gets heard. The hashtag describes books in which the author and/or illustrator share a common identity with one or more of the characters, or identify with the culture that originated the tale. We are proud to continue the important task of featuring #OwnVoices with From My Window.

Otávio Júnior is a writer, actor, storyteller and theatrical producer in his hometown of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Otávio also founded the Ler é 10 — Leia Favela project, which opened the first permanent children’s library in his favela in Rio.
