Hi friends! 👋 I’m C.M. Harris, and I’m so excited to welcome you to the official home of the What If We Were All™️ picture book series!
This blog is where we’ll celebrate kindness, creativity, and the power of representation in children’s books. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, librarian, or simply someone who believes in raising kind humans, you’re in the right place. 💛
🌍 Why What If We Were All™️?
This series was born out of a big question:
What if we were all kinder, more curious, more honest… more ourselves?
As an author and proud disability advocate, I wanted to create stories that made every child feel seen. Books that celebrate differences and open up conversations about empathy, inclusion, and joy. Today, What If We Were All lives in homes, schools, and libraries around the world—and I’m just getting started.
📚 What You’ll Find Here
On this blog, I’ll be sharing:
✅ Behind-the-scenes looks at the books
✅ Free resources and kindness activities
✅ Author event recaps and school visit stories
✅ Sneak peeks at new releases and merch
✅ Guest posts from educators, parents & readers
🤝 Join the Kindness Movement
This isn’t just a series—it’s a growing community of educators, families, and advocates who believe that kindness changes everything. I hope you’ll explore the site, download some resources, and maybe even send a What If We Were® book to a school that needs it.
Got a question, idea, or just want to say hi? I’d love to hear from you. Let’s build this world together, one story at a time.
With gratitude,
C.M. Harris
