Cute, Cartoon-Style Animal Characters for a book about Autism

Community & Non-Profit

Reading Build Bridges is an organization dedicated to fostering a love of reading and learning, with a special focus on creating inclusive, engaging stories for all children—including those on the autism spectrum. Through beautifully illustrated animal characters, we aim to make reading an accessible and immersive experience that supports language development, emotional understanding, and sensory-friendly engagement. Our target audience includes: -Children (ages 3-8), including neurodivergent learners, who benefit from visual storytelling, predictable narratives, and engaging characters. -Parents, educators, and therapists looking for books that encourage literacy, social-emotional growth, and sensory-friendly experiences. -Schools and libraries seeking inclusive reading materials that promote acceptance, diversity, and neurodiversity awareness. Our brand is warm, friendly, and imaginative, with a mission to create stories that help children feel seen, understood, and excited to explore the world through reading. We aim to design characters and narratives that support children with clear visual cues, predictable story structures, and gentle emotional lessons—bridging gaps in communication and fostering a love for storytelling in all learners.
