Maternity Care Coalition (MCC) has officially released our first-ever children’s book, You, Me, Kindness, and Equality! / ¡Tú, yo, la amabilidad y la igualdad!

Travel through Philadelphia with Lizzy and Grandpa Joe in You, Me, Kindness, and Equality!, a board book that promotes diversity, community, equality, and kindness among the next generation. 

Beautiful illustrations and engaging text promote critical conversations between the youngest readers and the grown-ups in their lives. You, Me, Kindness, and Equality! shows the importance of how spreading kindness can make a positive impact, and help to shape a community. 

With a long history of serving children ages 0-3, MCC aims to promote literacy at the earliest stages of life, help parents build bonds with their children, and elevate cultural awareness. Since MCC’s work started, it’s been centered on the health and wellbeing of babies and their families and promoting and advocating for racial equity.  

All proceeds from the sales of the book go directly towards MCC’s services. Along with books being made available to the public, MCC has been distributing a copy to every client family. This project has been made possible by generous donors and supporters, including PNC Grow Up Great. 

*A limited number of copied are being sold. Available for order while supplies last. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery of your order.
