This episode of The Blooming Books Podcast is all about inclusivity!

How, why and where we talk with our kids about recognizing, welcoming and appreciating friends of all shapes, sizes and abilities can be tricky to navigate.

Our special guests, Aydee Deaton and Hayley Von Frank are mama advocates for creating a world that is as kind, accessible and empowering to their kids as it is to all! From acceptable terms, real-world scenarios and heartwarming breakthroughs, it was such a pleasure to learn and grow from them, and in turn, spilling that over into our next generation.

Our special guests are elementary educators Shana Boettcher and Blair Ganz. They share about how classroom experiences, playground drama and embracing your inner weirdo can be translated into meaningful conversations around granting others the grace, kindness and respect we all strive for.
