What if the rhymes we learn first could help us imagine a kinder world?

A Universal Mother Goose revisits familiar nursery rhymes through a contemporary lens of kindness, inclusion, curiosity, and connection.

Drawing on rhymes that have delighted generations of children, E. M. Doykos reimagines these traditional verses for a world in which differences are welcomed, creative solutions emerge, and familiar stories can open unexpected doors.

Richly illustrated and created to be enjoyed by children and adults together, this collection invites readers not simply to recite a rhyme, but to notice, wonder, laugh, question, and imagine.

Behind its playful pages is a simple idea: the stories children encounter early in life can quietly shape how they understand themselves, other people, and the possibilities available to them.

A Universal Mother Goose honors the familiarity of a beloved tradition while inviting a new generation into something larger—a world of many faces, many ways of being, and many possibilities for kindness.

Old rhymes. New possibilities. A Mother Goose for everyone.
