📣 We’re On a Mission — Will You Join Us?

What if 100,00 classrooms and homes across the country had access to powerful stories that teach empathy, kindness, and inclusion?

At Purple Diamond Press, we believe that books can plant seeds of compassion — and that every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they read.

That’s why we’ve set a bold goal:

To reach 100 pre-orders of our “What If We Were” hardcover bundle in the next 60 days.

These books are more than bedtime stories. They’re tools for shaping emotionally aware, kind-hearted kids — and with your support, we can bring them into the hands of parents, teachers, and young readers who need them most.

Meet the Author & Our Mission

C.M. Harris is a multi-award-winning children’s author, disability advocate, and founder of Purple Diamond Press. Born from her own experiences of adversity and resilience, her stories inspire children to celebrate their uniqueness, lead with kindness, and treat others with empathy and compassion.

At Purple Diamond Press, our mission is to publish books that make a difference—books that reflect diversity, spark important conversations, and plant seeds of hope in every reader. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or fellow dreamer, we’re honored to have you on this journey with us.

Our Accolades & Reach

Her bestselling book, What If We Were All The Same!, was recognized by ABC7 News, selected as a “Teacher’s Pick” on Amazon, and featured on the BBC’s CBeebies Storytime. The San Francisco 49ers also chose the book for a major literacy donation to the Oakland Unified School District.
