IN OUR PUBLISHING PROGRAM, WE AIM TO DIVERSIFY THE NEXT GENERATIONS BOOKSHELVES. WE PUBLISH YOUTH-AUTHORED, DIVERSE, AND INCLUSIVE CHILDREN'S AND YOUNG ADULT BOOKS. WE ALSO PROVIDE PLATFORMS FOR EMERGING ARTISTS FROM MARGINALIZED BACKGROUNDS BY CONNECTING THEM TO INDUSTRY MENTORS AND HIRING THEM TO ILLUSTRATE THEIR FIRST CHILDREN'S BOOK. WE ACTIVELY PROMOTE AND SELL THESE BOOKS, BOTH IN TRADITIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL MARKETPLACES, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT PEER VOICES ARE POWERFUL VOICES, AND THEY CAN ENGAGE AUDIENCES IN WAYS THAT ADULT AUTHORS CANNOT. FINALLY, WE ENSURE THAT EARNED INCOME FROM BOOK SALES ARE INVESTED DIRECTLY BACK INTO YOUNG PEOPLE THEMSELVES: PROCEEDS SUPPORT SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS FOR AUTHOR COMMUNITIES, SALARIES FOR AUTHOR INTERNS, AND PROGRAMS THAT HELP YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAK UP, BE HEARD, AND BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
