We love Hardwire’s work and used the books you developed and sent as an example of cultural outreach for everyone attending our annual DFW Summit on Human Dignity and Religious Freedom. Your works were displayed on a table in the entry hall and those in attendance (representing all different faith traditions) had a chance to see what real inclusivity looks like! Thank you.

Fruitopia does a good job of substituting fruit, something every kid is very familiar with, for people. After enjoying the story children should be able to make the connection that if they can enjoy the many different colors, shapes and sizes of fruit they should be able to appreciate the differences in people.

They should also recognize how small misunderstandings, rumors, and fears can lead to problems. I think it is a great concept to use this approach to discuss a real-world challenge that they may not be able to fully understand.

Very needed book for all to read! We are in need of such books to speak truth in love to all. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with the world!

If every child could read the books that are produced by this outstanding supporter of freedom this world would be a much better place.

What a great way to showcase ideas of equity, respect, dignity, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence to children. The illustrations are wonderful, engaging, and pair perfectly with the storyline. The exercises at the back of the book give additional options for continued exploration of the ideas presented in the book. My little one and I definitely recommend.

These beautifully illustrated books help children to understand that we are stronger because of our diversity, and we are better equipped to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges when we come together in celebration of our diversity for a common goal. The Hardwired Global children's book series would make a welcomed addition to any home, class, or school library, as each book comes with suggested activities and mini-lessons related to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and other human rights focused topics, which are designed to be kid-friendly and super fun! As an educator, I highly recommend this book series as these lessons are tantamount to building a more just and sustainable future for all.
