Hi, I’m C.M. Harris, a children’s book author from Orange County, California, and the founder of Purple Diamond Press. My books inspire young readers with themes of kindness, friendship, diversity, and inclusion, encouraging children to embrace differences and treat others with compassion.

I’m proud to be the author of the bestselling book What If We Were All The Same!, which has been recognized by ABC7 News, the San Francisco 49ers, and the BBC. My books have also been featured in classrooms nationwide, helping teachers and parents start meaningful conversations with kids.

My Mission

I believe that books have the power to shape young minds and create a world where every child feels valued and seen. Through school visits, interactive readings, and engaging stories, I hope to inspire a love for reading and encourage children to make a difference in their communities.

As part of my commitment to literacy, I created Charity’s Readers for Tomorrow, a program dedicated to providing books to schools and underserved students. By supporting my books, you’re also helping to bring more diverse, inclusive stories into classrooms everywhere.

Thank you for supporting literacy and making reading an exciting adventure for your child!
