About Little Nappy
All children benefit from the reinforcement of seeing people who look like them represented in the pages of a book, in a cartoon, in a toy. But diversity in children's books, craft and toys is growing slowly.
In France, Hashley Auguste, a young, Franco-Haitian mother, created Little Nappy: a universe for black and bi-racial kids, exploring identities, stories, history, geography, cultures, and ways of life. With books, videos, activity books, dolls, Little Nappy shares a positive message to make everyone feel important and self confident.
Little Nappy is all about diversity, inclusion and belonging! Everyone needs to see positive and inspiring role models that look like them.
In books, on TV, in a store: diversity shouldn’t be an exception, it should be the norm!
