Florida KIDS COUNT is in the midst of producing a County Data Book and we want faces of real Florida Kids to help tell our story. Our Data Book will be put in the hands of advocates, politicians, county planners and administrators who make decisions every day on how our tax dollars and efforts are spent. Let's make sure they are looking into the faces or our children as they do so.

We are looking for children and young people from infant to young adult, as well as all sizes, colors, and abilities! Family and group photos are welcome too, as long as they include children. Please send a photo of your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, neighbor, whoever (with permission of course). Keep your eyes out for newest book coming in December 2016. It could include your cutest kid. More information...
