About the author

After graduating college, I spent three years trying to find a job—each interview ending in rejection, often because of my disability. Instead of giving up, I chose to build something of my own. I founded Purple Diamond Press, and today, our award-winning children’s books teach kindness, diversity, and inclusion in schools across the nation. What started as rejection has grown into a mission to inspire the next generation to see every child as capable, valuable, and worthy.

This is a colorful, simple book that teaches young children what it means to be compassionate. Kindness and thoughtfulness are presented as shared values, with reasons why children should adopt them.
