In the time that Simone and Julie have spent together through four seasons of dynamic podcast guests, they struggled to find books that were about diversity that their kids actually wanted to read.  That is why they co-authored a new children’s book – Charlotte Wants a BFF.

Meet Charlotte and Taylor. Like most kids, they have a lot in common, and also a lot of differences. In this charming story about their friendship, they become fast friends. BFF, best friends forever. And they also have challenges as they go through daily life as kids. For parents, caregivers, and educators, this story opens up the door for conversations about differences and how they make us stronger together as friends and allies. It is a story kids and adults will want to read together time and time again.
