C.M. Harris

After graduating college, I spent three years trying to find a job—each interview ending in rejection, often because of my disability. Instead of giving up, I chose to build something of my own. I founded Purple Diamond Press, and today, our award-winning children’s books teach kindness, diversity, and inclusion in schools across the nation. What started as rejection has grown into a mission to inspire the next generation to see every child as capable, valuable, and worthy.

Heidi Zhang

Heidi Zhang is a Chinese American working mom based in Los Angeles, also known as the “City of Flowers and Sunshine” or “The Big Orange”. With a career rooted in finance, she never imagined venturing into the world of children’s literature—until one night, when her young daughter, Sophie, posed a simple yet profound question: “How do you become a princess?” This moment sparked inspiration for the Are YOU Series, which Heidi hopes will encourage children to be virtuous global citizens who can appreciate diversity through our shared humanity and improve the community and environment around them.
