Motherhood Beyond Bars is a nonprofit organization that works to serve the women and children impacted by incarceration. In order to support their ongoing work of support and advocacy, we created a children’s book that would work to both serve as a resource for children impacted by incarceration but also work to take MBB’s advocacy to bookshelves around the world. We launched on Kickstarter and smashed our fundraising goals, becoming a Kickstarter “Project We Love” and becoming one of the platform’s top projects during its 30-day Kickstarter.

Available for purchase at large retailers and independent bookstores like Little Shop of Stories in Atlanta.

Inspired by interviews with both formerly and currently incarcerated women, To the Earth and Back was crafted based on the experiences of women who were separated from their children directly after birth.

Over the years we’ve worked closely with MBB to develop a new branding and social identity as well, here are a few samples of that work.
