Dear Parents, Booksellers, Teachers, and Librarians,

Todd Parr inspires and empowers children around the world with fun, positive messages.

A New York Times bestselling author of more than 60 books for children, Todd addresses important topics in a way that feels necessary, inclusive, and appropriate, with a sensibility that’s kid-friendly and fun.

Todd wants every kid to feel just how special they truly are, and that’s why we’re celebrating #BeWhoYouAreDay on September 30.

Please join us in some (or all!) of the below ways to celebrate the kids in your life, as they continue to navigate an ever-changing world around them, while discovering and celebrating who they are!

Sincerely,
The #BeWhoYouAreDay Team at LBYR
