\u201cI can put my emotions into my art. I want to create characters so kids can see themselves and know that they are beautiful.\u201d\nHolly Hatam is an acclaimed picture book maker, designer, and textile engineer.

Holly\u2019s books have been translated into over 10 languages and sold over 1 million copies worldwide. But most importantly, Raman\u2019s little kids LOVE her work. Diversity in children\u2019s books is super important to Holly.
