- Put good and true words in the hands and hearts of our children and ourselves as we all grow together.

- Connect children and parents, siblings, neighbors, and friends, building community over a universal love of story.

- Normalize and encourage slowing down, seeing, and spending meaningful, connective time with one another.

- Cultivate the art of living a simple life with children that is beautiful and meaningful.
