Wisdom. Beauty. Compassion. Humor.
“A story–no matter how different a time or world or experience–can connect people through shared moments, whether it’s a feeling, a belief, or even something we can’t quite put words to. This, to me, is the value of storytelling. Here, in this issue, is a collection of young writers’ work that captures so naturally and wonderfully some of those universal truths that bring us together. If their ages were not written alongside the titles, one could easily assume they were seasoned authors who have worked on their craft for decades.”
– Ruth Chan, author and illustrator of Uprooted, Thank You Neighbor!, The Alpacatory: Ready, Pack, Go!, and more
