Our Children’s Books Are The Key

To Teaching About Dignity And Respect

For All People

Since 2013, Hardwired has had the privilege of working with teachers and children around the world. Through our educational programs, we have inspired teachers to create their own lessons that promote respect for the inherent rights and freedom of all people. Today, teachers worldwide, from the U.S. to Iraq are using Hardwired’s unique teaching strategies to bring greater dignity, peace, and freedom to their communities.

We have turned some of their lessons into stories for a series of children’s books to share with children everywhere. These books are an excellent resource for anyone who wants to teach children to value the dignity and rights of others. They each use a different analogy to help children discover the importance of human dignity, the freedom of conscience and expression, and the importance of pluralism for people to live together in peace.



When you buy a book or donate, you help us put these values into the hands and hearts of children and communities who can advance them.

“In 2013, I was introduced to the work of Tina Ramirez, founder and president of the education nonprofit Hardwired Global. I have had the privilege of experiencing profound and lasting results from this great work. Tina and her team have seen hatreds, that have spanned centuries and generations, be replaced by tolerance and understanding through education.



It’s a great honor to prayerfully support the extraordinary work of Hardwired. These peaceful warriors work powerfully to advance dignity and freedom in the face of religious oppression, which, as the world sees, is escalating every day."
