Purpose This research demonstrates diffractive documentation and practice as hopeful mechanisms in which early childhood educator-protagonists are proactive rather than reactive in their work with young children. Design/methodology/approach Our storying research process is a narrative-building approach, whereby we interrelate and diffract together to seek out new meaning and understandings and promote social justice-oriented actions. Findings Authors each share from burgeoning narratives to interrelate and show a collection of threads that deepen multiple meanings in our existence. Social implications If we can assure deep support for all and an ethos of planet and place-caring, stretching beyond the status quo to children and place, then policies and practices can be changed for a greater good. Originality/value Humbly, we maintain that first, if we listen with children and the more-than-human, they show empathy, creativity and generative learning, and through our diffractive (re)storying process, hope is found, producing actions and movements
