One way to support our LGBTQ+ family, friends, and peers is to use affirming words.

Using a person's correct pronoun fosters acceptance, respect, validation, and love. ❤️

Before starting Juris Productions, a successful documentary production company, Keiko was an Emmy award-winning journalist and news producer. She has spent her professional life telling other people’s stories, and she knows that stories can open minds and change hearts. The stories in the pages of the affirming books Open Books delivers allow young readers to see themselves and love themselves for exactly who they are. Keiko has a transgender daughter and a gay son. They serve as her daily inspiration for doing this work.

While there is some dispute, most agree that the day is named after the Norse goddess Freyja. Freyja was the goddess of love (and a few other things, too, but we like the love part best!)
So, happy Love day!

Reading diverse books teaches empathy - it's true!

Reading diverse books teaches empathy - it's true!
Not only do children need to see themselves on the pages of books, but they need to see their friends and loved ones.
The work that Open Books does, by donating lgbtq+ books to libraries and schools across the country is done in an effort to not only teach empathy but to make sure that every child feels seen and accepted.

Morgan is an actor, writer, producer & mom of three awesome kids, living in LA with her husband Matt, (whom she is also fond of). In 2014 Open Books was a Facebook community where caregivers supporting gender non-conforming youth and/or gender non conforming youths themselves, could share their stories. In 2015, Open Books (formerly Gender Nation) became a CA 501c3. Morgan would collect LGBTQ+ affirming books for various gatherings & would recommend those titles on the org’s website. In 2018, a teacher strike was underway and it occurred to Morgan that if schools were struggling in this manner, they likely couldn’t prioritize finding or purchasing these incredibly important books, most of which were released in the last 5 - 10 years. The mission hit her. Why don’t we donate these books to public school libraries? Morgan’s first phone call was to co- founder Keiko Feldman, and together they hatched a plan for taking this mission to as many schools as possible. The data is clear. Exposure to inclusive and uplifting stories helps kids feel more seen and heard, minimizing bullying and fostering a better learning environment for all students. Representation matters. All kids belong.
