Something special is brewing … ☕️✨

Our next All About Me Book Tour stop is just about ready — and this one has heart in every cup.

All About Me book covers were created by local children with special needs—known affectionately as “Incredible Kids”—and their Respite Companions. Each book cover is a one-of-a-kind piece of art, offering a glimpse into the child’s personality, favorite things, and dreams.

The project is the result of a collaboration between Mission Respite and Monroe Street Art Center. Bringing Incredible Kids and their Respite Companions together for hands-on art sessions designed to spark creativity, build friendships, and celebrate inclusion.
