Author Studies

We introduce our favorite authors throughout the KVK program. We think deeply and carefully when choosing the authors we will introduce to the children. Our goal is to help them grow by exploring powerful messages of optimism and kindness while connecting with bright, bold and playful artwork. We want them to love themselves and love the world. We want them to feel great about who they are.

As a shining example, we love to study Todd Parr as a community every September.

Todd Parr has written scores of much-loved books for children, such as The I Love You Book, The Earth Book, and The Thankful Book. His books, with their combination of gentle narratives and bold illustrations, never fail to help us make strong connections with each child from their very first day at KVK.

Like Todd Parr, we want each child to know that they are special and important just by being who they are. Maybe that’s why so many KVK students, teachers, and families love Todd Parr.
