We have relaunched our first book, Courageous Adventures of The Konscious Kidz - The Neighborhood. In this book we share useful life tools with children and their parents, in an entertaining and creative way, as they move through these challenging times. While ongoing racism and lack of empathy are roots of division and tremendous pain in our society, our young characters find fun and healthy ways to conquer difficult life events with a collaborative spirit.

This is a children’s book that disrupts racism and moves us all towards a global community that rises above and lifts each other up. We envisioned the stories in this book as beautiful realistic models for representation, inclusion and diversity, where children get to see themselves and their peers as valuable, important members of the community. We believe that teaching children the truth is a radical act.

For this relaunch, we have created a special dust jacket where we acknowledge our current global health crisis, commemorate lives lost and pay homage to essential workers.
