The 1st children's lead character & brand with a disability!
In this insightful episode with children’s book author, Sara Momtaz, Julie & Simone explore her inspiring journey with “MouMou and Friends,” a vibrant world where every child belongs. Sara shares deeply personal stories, reminding us that inclusion is more than a buzzword—it’s about real kids with real stories. They discuss the power of representation, the tough yet enlightening path of advocacy, and the irreplaceable value of inclusive environments for children, particularly in the realms of education and play. Sara’s passion extends beyond books to a vision of inclusive consumer goods, all spearheaded by her unwavering belief: We All Belong.
Did you know that MouMou is Real?
MouMou is an extraordinary little girl who just happens to have an extra chromosome.
Just like other kids, she loves excitement, escapades and having fun. But unlike other kids, MouMou and her friends, Enzo and Harvey, have incredible superpowers that are revealed throughout the stories.
MouMou, Enzo and Harvey are all based on actual personalities. Their characters have been created to “normalise” children with special and/or additional needs through the eyes of other children. As we all grow up into young adults, seeing people in wheelchairs, looking “different” or taking longer to do what we can should be simply viewed as unremarkable. Instead of staring, wondering, and often unsure how to engage with someone who is perceived as “different”, MouMou, Enzo and Harvey encourage you all to just say hello and make new friends!
The aim of the stories is not to focus on “disabilities”, but to highlight that we all have more things in common that connect us than differentiate us, and to establish a WAB (We All Belong) culture to provide equity to all, acknowledging everyone’s value in society. Most importantly, the stories are full of adventure, fun and will be enjoyed by children and adults of all ages.
The first book in the series is “The Great Hunt”, followed by the second book “More Than a Race”, with the third episode in the series “Flying High”. Each of the stories follow on from each other, with gripping plots and hilarious antics throughout!
