Multicultural Fun and Magic of Worldwide Buddies

 

Worldwide Buddies is a series of fictional, educational stories with characters from different countries that allow readers to imagine a more beautifully complex world.

Each story explores a different underlying social, cultural, or political concept. This is done through simple plots and characters who face everyday challenges that are universal and relevant to every child. The stories tackle serious topics in a light-hearted, funny and positive way.

Where are the models of relatable kids from diverse cultural backgrounds?

By Jeni Lee Chapman, Co-author of Gokul Village and the Magic Fountain and Co-Founder of Gokul Workshops LLC

The power of coming together with a shared mission produces truly amazing and impactful results. My co-founder, Bal Das and I planted this seed a little over a year ago and started this journey together. In September we published our first book and announced the launch of a new concept for children’s media called Big Bold Beautiful World Media. Our mission is to use creativity and innovation to build stories, products, and experiences that empower the social-emotional learning of global generations. As Maya Angelou beautifully wrote, “we are more alike my friends than we are unalike.”
