Studies have shown that a child’s sense of belonging and connection at school is linked to their level of engagement, motivation, and success as learners.

Celebrating differences helps little ones to understand and appreciate each other better and to cultivate empathy and kindness.

To inspire children to build healthy, long-lasting connections with others, Kidlit lover John Masiulionis joins Laura Cavanaugh to share Jim Price’s The Adventures of Harold from the Hood, an empowering children’s book series that helps kids to strengthen their social skills/connections and celebrate inclusion.

A Trip to the Park addresses the challenging experience of trying to make new friends and the importance of celebrating one another’s differences and what makes each of us unique.

Friends Like Different Things reminds readers that if you open your mind to trying new things, you will find that you have a lot more in common with others than you think, which is a catalyst to creating new friendships.

We encourage all of you to support Jim by purchasing your copy of The Adventure of Harold From the Hood Series, and enjoying this empowering read with your little ones!
