PTI- Color me impressed
It all started when a friend posted on his wall that a certain friend of his was amazing and it was only a matter of time before she took over. Normally, I don't read or follow posts about people I don't know, but I was curious to find out more. And I am happy I did because I discovered Wayétu Moore. Wayetu Moore is the Co-founder and Publisher of One Moore Book, a company that produces and publishes stories for children of countries with low literacy rates.

You can read more about her here and below is an excerpt from that article:
"This January I launched a children's book publishing company: One Moore Book. One Moore Book provides children's literature for the children of countries with low literacy rates. Each cycle of books caters to the children of one country, and our first cycle, dedicated to my father, is for the children of Liberia. My four siblings and I research, write and illustrate all books to match the culture, foods and cities of the featured country. My hope is to give children the peace I was granted by the words my father gave me, by allowing them to see themselves in literature. I also think it is important to provide books about foreign countries to children in the United States, to increase the overall awareness of the world outside to those who may never have an opportunity to leave. After this cycle I hope to offer words to the children of places like Haiti, Bolivia and Afghanistan, words similar to those that helped me and my sisters mute the sounds of the war outside."
