Collective For Children

Meet Young GOAT Judah!✨ From characters and anime to animals and creative illustrations, Judah brings the imagination to life through his artwork. Every drawing is a chance to tell a story, practice a skill, and share his creativity with the world.

Happiness shines in every color! Our Young G.O.A.T. used er creativity to create this beautiful rainbow artwork, reminding us that art is a wonderful way to express joy, imagination, and positivity.

A few years ago, I realized that while there are many SEL resources for elementary students, there are far fewer available for middle and high school students. So I created one and Im so happy to see more schools have begun adopting our teen social-emotional learning curriculum. We are in over 2000+ schools now.

Through my work w Collective for Children, I see schools who cannot afford our books and resources. Sometimes they are the ones that need it the most. So when Sweet Reverse reached out to us and told us they were working with middle school and high school students, we said yes. Each student received a free copy of Emotions Ninja. I also had the chance to speak with them about entrepreneurship, mental toughness, and the power of grit.

It was inspiring to see these students engaged in conversations about emotional well-being, resilience, and believing in their ability to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

This week, through Collective For Children and the Oklahoma Hall of Fame at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, we had the opportunity to donate books, read stories, and spend time with some amazing kids. Moments like these remind me why this mission means so much to me. There is nothing quite like seeing a child’s face light up when they discover a book that helps them feel seen, understood, and empowered.

One of the books we shared was Sensory Ninja, the story of a ninja who bravely explains her sensory challenges to the world so that family members, friends, and classmates can better understand what it’s like to live with sensory sensitivities. Through social-emotional learning and life skills, we’re helping children build empathy, confidence, and connection, one book at a time. Every story has the power to make a difference, and this event was a beautiful reminder of that. ❤️📚
