Children are born perfect - we are all born perfect. Each of us has an infinite capacity for love, compassion and respect. Yet, sometimes we need help remembering the beauty within ourselves and that amidst moments of vulnerability and powerlessness, we are not alone. Humanity is bound by our shared emotions and universal life experiences. The books that follow encourage self-acceptance, esteem and knowledge while embracing tolerance and diversity in humorous, touching and poignant tales.
