DoodleFace Parade came about because we're all short on positivity, excitement, and connection — and right now, we feel it. Teachers, librarians, communities, kids. I was a teacher, and I wanted to build something that brings the wonder back: something that gets kids excited again — about school, about the library, about learning, about life. It's grown into a community of educators, librarians, counselors, and school leaders from all over — across the country today, and beyond it before long — who care about the same thing. The Doodles themselves are made right here in the United States, in our small town of Holley, New York (about an hour from Niagara Falls). We're not a big company — we're real people, and there's one of us behind every parade. Reach out anytime, about anything. We'd love to hear from you.
