On November 13, author Colleen Yanez invites schools and families worldwide to stream a free, interactive reading that celebrates inclusion and everyday courage.
PARKER, Colo., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Adventures of Jack the Dog is going live for World Kindness Day. Author Colleen Yanez will host a free, interactive read-aloud on November 13 that will be broadcast on YouTube live for classrooms and families across time zones, complete with a downloadable teacher guide and giveaways.
"All kids deserve to see themselves for what they are–not what they're not. To quote Jack the Dog, "Everyone has something unique about them that makes them special." Given how unkind the world can be, especially when you're different, it's this underlying message that makes me so passionate about getting this book in the hands of kids everywhere," says Yanez.
