Children's books are an essential role in young lives, they not only encourage literacy but influence our minds with creativity and valuable life lessons. Let's Read is an up and coming company founded by Author/Illustrator Brenda E. Koch. Educated as an Aboriginal Child Development Practitioner and an active Early Childhood Educator, Brenda has worked and volunteered with children for over 30 years.For most of her life, Brenda's mother (who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when Brenda was a young girl) lived in a hospital. During their many visits, Brenda became increasingly aware of how people with disabilities are viewed by others. That awareness was the inspiration for her book series, delving into this sensitive but very important topic.She decided to start writing and illustrating books for children hoping to nurture an appreciation and understanding of our differences as well as our similarities. The series aims to promote inclusion, empathy, diversity, acceptance, awareness and accessibility.Look at what we can do, not what we can't do! Everyone is unique!
