Lori Stuart, K - 6 School Educator

I just want to say THANK YOU for creating such a powerful program! It has been amazing to watch the students and staff respond so positively and whole-heartedly to looking for the good each day. 

Former US President, George HW Bush

Your efforts are a remarkable example of the generosity and compassion that make our communities stronger.

(Statement from 2015)

Superior Court Judge, Kevin S. Russo

These resources are a terrific example of the importance of communicating emotions that young children struggle with... Emotional literacy transcends grades and creates life skills.

Larry Koffler

Former EVP of BCW Global & Edelman PR

It has been an honor to have known and supported Anne for more than 10 years. She is one of the rare people I’ve worked with in my 30+ years who is not only truly talented - from concepting to communicating, writing to design – but also tremendously passionate, dedicated and empathetic. She is a big ambitious thinker and a roll up your sleeved doer. Just look at the quality and quantity of the output.

Most importantly are the outcomes. And these have been nothing short of remarkable. More than 300,000 kids have benefitted from the program she developed, with a much larger community ripple effect. It's clear that we’re living through a time when these programs that building confidence, kindness and ultimately, resilience, are needed more than ever.

Parent Feedback

I just wanted to drop you a note that my 3 year old son has become OBSESSED with your books! He asks to read them all the time and if I say not now he’ll pretend to be really mad or sad so that we have to read the book right away. Just wanted to let you know how much we love your books!

 

I've Given 200+ Videos to the Nonprofit

Up until my school program expanded nationally, I used to visit schools in-person. In order to help schools run my program on their own, I've written and produced 200+ educational videos for the nonprofit. Here's a video I made which introduces teachers to one of the web portals I built. My video and web building skills are largely self-taught.

My Work Is In A Documentary Film

Here's the promo for the producer's first movie, Mister Rogers & Me.
