Authors: We welcome writers from diverse backgrounds, with life experiences and ability to talk to, or express the life and feelings of, children from minority communities. The topics need not be real life, but could be imaginary or anthropomorphic. Submit stories structured for 24 page picture books, always thinking about illustrations and translatability. Please include a synopsis, and write as if it was the "blurb" on the back cover of your book. Include a note in your email about what a parent, teacher, or child could learn, or would enjoy about your book.
