Missions and Values

Our Mission

Our mission is to uniquely inspire all students, at all grades Pre-K-12, to develop the academic and social-emotional skills needed to become successful citizens for the 21st century. To honor our mission, we publish a wide variety of captivating picture books, inspirational biographies, mindfulness and wellness materials, S.T.E.M. resources, career development materials, bullying prevention resources, parent resources, and inspiring art programs.

In addition, we believe in the power of role models and mentors to inspire students to achieve their own unique goals in life. Our Illuminating Minds Tour offers engaging, award-winning in-school and online author and role model presentations that positively impact student outcomes. These presentations model positive behaviors that help students build the self-confidence they need to overcome social and academic stressors, while improving social-emotional skills and subject knowledge.

Our Values

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION We recognize and celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and experiences that make up the nation. Our publications strive to reflect this diversity, ensuring that students from all backgrounds feel valued, respected, and see themselves represented in the stories and materials we produce.

COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION By fostering a collaborative environment, we create a feedback loop that informs our product development and helps us stay attuned to the evolving needs of diverse student populations. We believe that true cultural responsiveness is a dynamic process that requires ongoing dialogue and partnership with the communities we aim to represent.

EMPATHY AND EMPOWERMENT Stories have the power to shape minds and hearts. We publish content created by authors and illustrators from diverse backgrounds and communities around the world to provide narratives that inspire, challenge, and nurture a generation of empathetic, informed, and empowered students.

MINDFULNESS AND WELLNESS We strive to publish materials designed to help students understand and manage their emotions, develop positive relationships, and make responsible decisions—ultimately contributing to their overall well-being.
