2027 Adventures in Zen Storybook Calendar: A Year of Stories, Wonder & Belonging

Spend 2027 inside the storybook worlds of Adventures in Zen Books.

The 2027 Adventures in Zen Storybook Calendar: A Year of Stories, Wonder & Belonging brings twelve Adventures in Zen stories to life through colorful illustrations and monthly messages created to inspire curiosity, confidence, empathy, and belonging.

Each month highlights a different book and the heart behind its story.

Meet De’Asia and celebrate accessibility and belonging in A Seat at the Table. Discover the many ways we communicate with Kai Says Hi. Celebrate freedom with Miles, explore Brooklyn with Jahrel, find calm with Kimeshea and Qamir, gather around the family table in She She’s Soul Food Kitchen, and travel through even more Adventures in Zen storybook worlds.

This is more than a calendar. It is a yearlong celebration of children seeing themselves, their families, their communities, and their possibilities reflected in stories.

And when December ends, the story is not over.

Keep reading. Keep wondering. Keep telling your story. Because the world needs your story, too.
