From the foreword by Maribella Smith: “Pacific Elementary wrote their little hearts out this spring. We met each Friday and embraced our creativity by putting our pens to the page. The students in this book are overflowing with kindness, both to their peers and to themselves. I asked them in the very beginning of the session to believe in their ability to try. I asked them to write their dreams, fears, and memories. I asked them to write about the things that make them feel. And each child did.”
