We believe that stories have the power to heal oneself a local community and, dare I say it, humanity. Stories also have the power to destroy and seeing how the mental health struggle was a real thing during the pandemic, we decided to run our first competition. This book is the result of that. In March 2021, we posted in a couple of writing websites, a local library and on our very small social media accounts the call for the children and teenagers aged 4 to 17. Suddenly, we received almost one hundred pieces from all over Australia.We hope you enjoy and respect these young authors feelings and craft as they have generously opened their heart so that others could heal.
