Letters, lists, quotes, truths, lies, artist bios, and more. This fun and scrapbook-themed notebook is a wonderful collection of short bits and pieces from a seemingly infinite number of excited authors. Hear about best friends, moments of connection, the pros of living in NYC, requests of Santa, and imaginary friends.

From the publisher: “It’s the fall of 2021. In Beacon Centers in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx, in a cafeteria, in a classroom, in a schoolyard, in a computer lab, students are writing. They’re making lists of their favorite people and places, defining their nicknames, and explaining the real problem with celery. They’re writing letters to the friends and family they love, and those they’ve lost. They’re writing poems and stories, advice and encouragement, and reminding us: You’re Worth More Than Anything.”
