Overview
Award-Winning Publisher - Best Children's Publishing Company for Diversity & Inclusion (2025)
When We Play is a joyful, inclusive picture book that celebrates the different ways children connect, especially those who experience the world through a neurodivergent lens.
Told through the voice of a loving sibling, this story explores what play looks like in all its forms: spinning, singing, running, sitting quietly, or just being side by side. Whether loud or calm, playful or still, every way of playing is valid-and every child deserves to be seen, heard, and loved for exactly who they are.
Perfect for parents, educators, therapists, and families navigating sensory needs, autism, or developmental differences, When We Play fosters empathy, understanding, and unconditional connection.
Ideal for ages 3-8
