THIS AWESOME HUMAN IS CARA ZELAS!
Cara is passionate about education, literacy and kindness. This, along with her desire to infuse social and emotional themes into early childhood education and school curricula in innovative and child-centered ways, lead her to create the Kindness Learning Company. Their first book series is called “The Big World of Little Dude”, where each book covers a critical theme needed to build a strong foundation for children, e.g. empathy, courage and respect (that’s some AWESOME stuff!!) Since then, they have released more of their awesome children’s books and have evolved to support parents and communities who are teaching their children at home.
The biggest obstacle Cara has had to face was building confidence in herself. She overcame being her own worst critic not by pushing those feelings away, but asking why she feels a certain way and not giving them the loudest voice. Cara also says that doing things that make her uncomfortable has played a large role in building her confidence (YES!!) this process, she discovered that you can learn anything, with practice and determination.
In her free time, Cara loves to be with her family and friends, spending time in nature and getting active. Her favourite artist to dance to is Billie Eilish The three ingredients you need to make a one-of-a-kind Cara are: open-mindedness, love and passion.
