... today is !

We want to highlight THAO: A Picture Book by , a story that presents the power of owning your identity ❤️

"Exquisite collaged art mixed with photographs ... Nothing is 'foreign' if you take time to know it." —The New York Times

THAO is an important about growing up with a name that is unfamiliar to the kids around you.

Simple on the surface, this story (inspired by Thao’s own childhood) is full of humor, heart, and important ideas of diversity, inclusion, and cultural pride - it champions being true to yourself and your background, and being empathetic towards others.

It is a celebration of all that’s in a name!
