Learn moreDiversity in focus – stories that empower.
It is our mission to tell stories for children and teenagers, in which we are all represented. Stories with diverse perspectives that celebrate BPoC as heroes.
Children generally feel normal and approach other children in this way. When they read stories about children of different skin color at an early age, they do not develop an educated kind of perception with a limited world view. The feeling of “They look different!” does not arise at all and this in turn helps to gradually reduce stereotypical views.

The world of children is colourful
“There should be more diversity in German children’s and young people’s books to offer positive identification figures to children and young people with a different skin color or a different cultural background. Often in schools and in the media, black children and young people are talked about in connection with poverty or war. Stereotypes in film and television do the rest. There’s no too early when it comes to present diverse children books or toys. Therefore, we are focusing on products for kindergarten and primary school. In hope that the children will become open-minded teenagers and adults.”

“In children’s books, diversity should take place in terms of culture and skin color. This gives children with a different skin color or cultural background positive identification figures. Because often in school and in the media, for example, black children are often talked about in connection with topics such as poverty or war.
Stereotypical portrayals in film and television do the rest. So it is very important for me to start there, where the human being grows and can learn easily. There where the human being is still “malleable”! With the children! Therefore, it is all the more important to present diverse books and toys to the children, especially in the kindergartens. In the hope that the children will also thereby become open-minded young people and adults.”
