Shondra M. Quarles, a Dallas teacher and award-winning author, is making waves in children’s literature. As the founder of Eye Heart Literacy, LLC, she’s dedicated to creating diverse stories that promote education, joy, and self-love. Her work has already earned her the title of a three-time best-selling author, but now she’s taking her storytelling to a whole new level — bringing her books to life through animation!

Shondra noticed a lack of representation in children’s books, especially for Black and Brown boys. Determined to fill that gap, she wrote stories that inspire young readers to embrace their uniqueness and value learning. Her passion for literacy and her mission to uplift children shine through in every page she writes.

Now, she’s turning those pages into animated episodes! Teaming up with N’Toon Network (@ntoon_ent) — a creative powerhouse known for working with legends like Master P and Snoop Dogg — Shondra brought her vision to life on screen. Their first animated episode, “Humpty Dumpty Remix,” has already gained over 10,000 views on Instagram, capturing the hearts of viewers with its fun, vibrant storytelling.

The animation adds an exciting new layer to Shondra’s work, making her stories even more accessible and engaging for young audiences. By transforming her books into animated content, she’s reaching more kids, sparking their imaginations, and encouraging a love of reading in a whole new way.

You can watch “Humpty Dumpty Remix” now on the Eye Heart Literacy YouTube channel. And this is just the beginning — more animated episodes are on the way!

Shondra M. Quarles is not just writing books; she’s building a movement. Her dedication to diversity in children’s literature and her commitment to promoting self-love and education are creating lasting change. Through her books and animations, she’s empowering the next generation to dream big, love themselves, and know that their stories matter.
