Collection: The Complete Hazelnut Civil Rights Series

Meet Hazelnut—a curious, kindhearted pup with a red scarf and a big heart—on a journey through courage, justice, and everyday heroism.

The Complete Hazelnut Civil Rights Series is a beautifully illustrated, age-appropriate collection designed to introduce young readers to the Civil Rights Movement and the Black leaders who shaped history—through stories of bravery, dreams, and helpers who changed the world one step at a time.

Across three engaging picture books, children learn that:

  • One brave choice can spark change

  • Dreams are powerful, and peace is strong

  • Everyone can be a helper—no matter how small

With gentle storytelling, vibrant cartoon illustrations, and thoughtful activity pages, Hazelnut guides children through:

  • The courage of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott

  • The powerful vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the March on Washington

Each book encourages empathy, kindness, and self-reflection, helping children see themselves as part of a better, more caring world.
