A Rainbow Cake With All the Flavors

by BVHM Elementary School Students

An insightful look into the minds of 2010s elementary schoolers. Of the upmost importance to them appears to be family, friends, Minecraft and Takis. Hear a proposal to allow phones in schools, diary entries from Crazy Sally, an ode to rap music, and learn about famous athletes.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “This chapbook is the product of a collaboration between 826 Valencia and Buena Vista Horace Mann, a bilingual K-8 school in San Francisco's Mission District. Throughout the spring semester, tutors, interns, and staff worked with groups of 3rd, 4th, and sth graders to celebrate their families and communities, invent magical worlds, and advocate for change. These stories of magic, invention, family, and fantastical adventures are straight from the imaginations of our young writers.”
