a childrens book with diverse characters

At Purple Diamond Press, our mission is simple: to publish books that make a difference worldwide. That’s why we are thrilled to share the latest release in our beloved, bestselling series — What If We Were All Generous! by award-winning author C.M. Harris.


This inspiring children’s picture book joins the What If We Were collection — a growing 10-book series designed to spark conversations about kindness, inclusion, friendship, honesty, and self-worth.


About the Series


It all started with What If We Were All The Same! — a book that became an instant favorite among educators, parents, and readers across the globe. Featured on BBC’s CBeebies, praised by the San Francisco 49ers, and a consistent Amazon Teacher’s Pick, the first book championed the message that differences should be celebrated, not feared.


Since then, the series has grown to include:


  1. What If We Were All The Same!

  2. What If We Were All Friends!

  3. What If We Were All Kind!

  4. What If We Were All Generous! (NEW!)

  5. What If We Were All Merry! (Coming Soon)

    …and more titles coming through 2026!


Each book uses rhyming verse, vibrant illustrations, and real-life examples to help children ages 3–9 understand how their choices shape the world around them.


Spotlight on: What If We Were All Generous!


Released this fall, What If We Were All Generous! is a joyful exploration of what it means to give — not just money or gifts, but our time, our kindness, and our care.


🏆 Rated 5 stars by Readers’ Favorite, the book was praised for its:


  • Clear and melodic rhyming structure

  • Cheerful, relatable illustrations

  • Practical examples like donating toys, helping elders, and being a good friend

  • Emphasis on empathy, respect, and making generosity feel fun, not forced


💬 Reviewer Diana Lopez wrote:

“C.M. Harris teaches children that no matter the place or circumstances, they will always have the opportunity to show the best part of themselves.”

That’s the heart of this book — reminding young readers that generosity isn’t just a nice idea. It’s a way to connect with others, build relationships, and grow into compassionate, confident people.
