This week, through Collective For Children and the Oklahoma Hall of Fame at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, we had the opportunity to donate books, read stories, and spend time with some amazing kids. Moments like these remind me why this mission means so much to me. There is nothing quite like seeing a child’s face light up when they discover a book that helps them feel seen, understood, and empowered.
One of the books we shared was Sensory Ninja, the story of a ninja who bravely explains her sensory challenges to the world so that family members, friends, and classmates can better understand what it’s like to live with sensory sensitivities. Through social-emotional learning and life skills, we’re helping children build empathy, confidence, and connection, one book at a time. Every story has the power to make a difference, and this event was a beautiful reminder of that. ❤️📚
