In a world that often seeks to divide, how do we teach kids to embrace the full richness of who they are? As parents and caregivers, we carry the profound responsibility of guiding our children to see themselves not as a single story, but as a rich tapestry of experiences, cultures, and emotions. And so, one acclaimed author is showing children that their unique blend of identities is not a puzzle to solve, but a source of strength and beauty to embrace.

Newbery Honor Author, Veera Hiranandani, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #238 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share her inspiring journey, the release of her new children’s book, Many Things At Once (published by Random House Studio), the power of storytelling in helping children embrace their multifaceted identities, the strength found in cultural heritage, representation, and inclusion, the resilience of multicultural families, and how children can learn to love all parts of their identity, plus much more.

We encourage you, our fellow neighbors, to support Veera by grabbing your copy of Many Things At Once and enjoying this empowering read with your little ones: https://bit.ly/4jAA0aL.
