A group of young children sitting on outdoor steps, each holding up a colorful children's book. They are accompanied by an adult woman with curly black hair wearing sunglasses and a white shirt. The children are smiling and appear to be enjoying their books. The books have vibrant covers with titles such as "Fuzzy," "Beautiful You, Beautiful Me," and "Too Many Tías." The background shows the entrance of a building with large windows.
