3. FABLES
If you have stories that are folklore lite, I want them! They can be imagined or real stories from a culture.
Examples: 1001 Arabian Nights, Aesop's Fables

2. MORALS and LESSONS
I'm keen on publishing books that teach children about virtues (e.g., forgiveness, patience), emotions, and mistakes through a fun or engaging story.
Examples: The Boy Who Cried Wolf, My Hijab Is My Crown, Who Will Make Iftar With Me?

1. COMMUNITY
I'm the perfect one for you if your PB focuses on teaching children how to navigate this world with kindness, compassion, and sympathy toward themselves OR others via a story.
Examples: Brown is Beautiful, Eyes That Kiss in the Corners, My Block Looks Like
