Children and adults alike walk away from our programs with a deeper sense of compassion — for themselves, their friends, and individuals affected by disabilities. They leave with a rich understanding that every life has purpose, every story matters, and we are all uniquely created on purpose, for a purpose.
Every Book You Buy
Gives a Book
For each book purchased, we donate one to a child, family, or classroom in need. Because every child deserves to feel seen.
The Hazelnut Movement
Founded in 2022 with a mission to provide parents and educators with resources to help teach children about their peers with disabilities — fostering understanding, empathy, and acceptance.
As a special needs parent of two children affected by a rare genetic disorder within the NKH family, I quickly realized how many parents and educators struggle with how to discuss disability. Some fear saying the wrong thing, while others avoid the topic entirely due to a lack of proper guidance. That’s exactly where The Hazelnut Movement steps in!
We believe that storytelling is the catalyst for compassion. Through our growing collection of books, we help initiate those crucial conversations — one story at a time. Our 1:1 Book Gifting Program allows every book purchased to provide a free book to a child, family, or classroom, ensuring more children have access to stories that celebrate differences and foster inclusion.
But our mission goes beyond the pages of our books. We are passionate about helping others share their stories — giving families and individuals impacted by disability
a powerful and compassionate voice. By amplifying these voices,
we hope to inspire, educate, and create a world where everyone
feels seen, heard, and valued.
If you haven’t yet explored our selection of books, I encourage you to do so. Each page is filled with warmth, love, and the hope of a more understanding world. I promise these stories will touch your heart and leave you feeling blessed.
