Oliva Shin told Fort Worth Magazine this month that she loves two things: children and creating things. The TCU junior combined those passions in a book series highlighting characters with disabilities such as blindness and autism.
“I was really inspired to combine my passions for creation and kids to make a children’s book that could be put out in classrooms or in households where the young could learn about different people that may experience the world differently,” Shin said. "But really, education and awareness is the first step towards cultivating compassion, and that’s what I hope my books really do."
She said she hopes to get her books out into the public school system and other organizations and hospitals that involve children.
