From the introduction by Concepcion Tadeo and Isabel Geerer: "We invite you to explore the work contained in this book and treasure it as much as we do. The children that created it came together in an afterschool group that was a real treat for us. They were eager, bright, and respectful. And their respect was not just for the adults in the room but was also shared with each other. It was impressive, especially since the writing workshops took place after they had been attending school all day, and in the middle of the week, no less."
