As a mother and the founder of Kido, I've always seen books as magical portals to new worlds and diverse perspectives. Our store is more than just a place to pick up a book; it's a vibrant community hub focused on nurturing young minds with stories that reflect the vast diversity of human experience. Each book on our shelves, from Your Friend, Parker by Parker and Jessica Curry to other enriching tales, is chosen for its ability to foster understanding and empathy among our young readers.
Why I Choose Diverse Books for Our Community
My personal experiences as a parent have deeply informed my selection of books. I believe that presenting children with diverse narratives is crucial for developing empathy.
The stories we offer at Kido, do more than tell a story—they paint a picture of the world's rich cultures and the beauty in our differences.
The Art of Bringing Stories to Life
It's not just about reading; it’s about experiencing. The vibrant illustrations in our books make each page a celebration of diversity, helping to bring the tales to life in a way that captivates and educates.
We choose books that serve as mirrors and windows—mirrors in which children can see themselves, and windows through which they can view the world.
Our Commitment to Leading and Nurturing Through Literature
At Kido, we're dedicated to leading by example. We believe in using literature as a tool to guide our children towards a more inclusive worldview. Our events and story times are designed to turn reading into a communal, enriching experience that encourages kids to embrace diversity, both in literature and in life.
Join Us in Celebrating Diversity
I invite you to explore our diverse collection and join us at our upcoming events where we bring these stories off the pages and into the hearts of our community. Let’s give our children the tools they need to lead with compassion and curiosity. Visit Kido and help us spread the joy and understanding that comes from diverse children's literature.
