Confetti Cannon is right because she explodes with wonderful energy.

She recognized the void in the children’s entertainment market for slow-paced, heartful guidance for helping children make sense of their emotions, relationships, and the world. She embarked on the development of a media company devoted to supporting the social and emotional well-being of young children ages 2-10--and The Kindness Machine powered up!
