Thank you and for capturing a beautiful day filled with love, acceptance, and positive energy. We’re incredibly proud to be part of this historical event.

Me and my mini me. 👩🏻👧🏼

2022 has started off right with our 4th book award!!! 🤗
❤️
MIGHTY MAY WON’T CRY TODAY was awarded Honorable Mention in the 2021 North Street Book Prize in the category of Children's Picture Books. Among the 7 competition categories in self-publishing, over 2,000 entries were received from around the world -- a record!
🧡
A critique by Jendi Reiter:
"A picture book about social-emotional skills has to do double duty, conveying a straightforward solution to an age-appropriate problem while also being fun to read. Kendra and Claire-Voe Ocampo's Mighty May Won't Cry Today aces the assignment.

Erica De Chavez's illustrations pop with festive shades of orange, gold, pink, and blue, expressing May's spunky personality and the nurturing home that her two moms provide.

Can I just say how sweet is it to have diverse families be a normal part of the background rather than the main issue, or, as in my childhood, completely absent from children's media? Society has come a long way."
