Helping Children Feel Valued, Seen and Understood

It’s a Kidzz World was created to help children feel valued, connected and encouraged through stories, creativity and community. We want children to discover the joy of reading, see possibility in the worlds they explore, and know that their ideas, voices and imaginations matter.

Our Pillars

Four ideas guide our work and shape the stories, experiences and opportunities we create for children and families.

Stories

Stories give children a welcoming way to explore feelings, imagination and courage while discovering the joy of reading.

Connection

Connection brings children, families, educators and communities together around stories and experiences that help children feel valued and understood.

Growth

Growth means nurturing confidence, curiosity, emotional understanding, creativity and a lifelong desire to learn and explore.

Opportunity

Opportunity creates ways for children’s ideas, creativity and voices to be encouraged, shared and carried into the real world.

A Lifelong Love of Reading

Literacy is more than learning how to read.

We want children to become lifelong readers, learners, explorers, creators and storytellers.

Children do not all read, learn, communicate or imagine in the same way. Our long-term vision is to create stories and reading experiences that can meet children where they are and continue growing with them.

That means developing stories in different reading experiences and accessible formats over time, while keeping the characters, imagination and heart that help children stay connected to the story.

Our Literacy Promise

Leave No Reader Behind

Every child deserves the chance to discover a story that welcomes them in.

Whether a child is just beginning, reads differently, needs additional support or is ready for a greater challenge, our goal is to keep the doorway to reading open.

Why It Matters

Stories can open doors.

Too many children feel overlooked, misunderstood or left out. A story can offer a place to belong, a reason to wonder, and the confidence to imagine what might come next.

It’s a Kidzz World brings literacy, imagination and community together so children can engage with stories in ways that feel welcoming, meaningful and personal.

We are building for

  • Children discovering their own path into reading.
  • Families looking for meaningful ways to read, imagine and create together.
  • Educators and community partners seeking inclusive, engaging resources.
  • Supporters who want to help put inspiring stories into children’s hands.

The story grows with the child. The child grows with the story.

That is the future we are working toward: stories that invite children in, encourage them to stay curious, and give them room to keep growing.
