Inspiring Connections Through the Power of Stories

Kind Read is a platform that brings together young individuals passionate about storytelling, acting, and filmmaking to create engaging videos or live storytimes, all in support of Kind Read's mission.

In recent years, children’s books in our libraries have increasingly embraced rich cultural experiences and featured authors from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. This positive shift reflects the growing diversity of our communities and plays a vital role in shaping a more inclusive literary landscape.

Research shows that children begin to form their sense of identity and self-worth early on, and seeing characters who look like them or share their cultural background can deeply influence their confidence and sense of belonging. By amplifying diverse voices and experiences, children’s literature now offers more opportunities for young readers to connect with stories that reflect and celebrate their own identities.

At the same time, these books introduce all children to cultures beyond their own, fostering empathy, curiosity, and mutual respect. Readers gain valuable insight into different ways of life, encouraging open-mindedness and a broader worldview.

Kind Read is proud to support this movement by empowering young individuals passionate about storytelling, acting, and filmmaking. Through live events and video content that spotlight culturally enriching books, we aim to foster inclusion, cultural pride, and meaningful connection—ensuring every child feels seen, and every reader learns to see others with empathy and understanding.

We invite you to be part of this important mission. Your involvement directly supports our efforts to build an inclusive community where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired through the power of stories.
