Investing in the Power of the Next Generation

Since our founding in 2014, our young writers have been using their voices to increase understanding and build connection. They expand empathy through their stories; they expand horizons of possibility through their leadership. And during these historic times, they craft stories that speak to this moment — to comfort and inspire, to help process and reflect — in the ways that young readers need most.

Here's how we're actively engaging in positive change:

  • We keep changing the story. We continue to counteract negative messages that divide with positive stories that connect. Our books take all forms -- children's stories, poetry collections, memoir collections, and novels -- and reach all audiences, to open hearts and minds.
  • We amplify diverse voices. Our books act as much-needed mirrors of shared lived experience as well as windows into other perspectives. We are doubling down on efforts to amplify these voices as powerful tools of empathy and learning.
  • We pass the megaphone. We believe that peer voices are powerful voices, and that young people are best positioned to shape the stories for the next generation.

If you are in a position to give, we promise to put your investment to good use – immediately and directly – to foster a more equitable, empathetic, community-minded, and just world for us all.
