We will studiously and gratefully select a child (a “Creative”) from each state and make him or her the creative boss in the story and book-making process; I’m just there to bring the story to life through photography, design and The Jolly Troop.
The child will meet with me a number of times to complete creative tasks that will result in his or her published book.
The book then becomes many magical things: a lasting voice for these children’s beautiful stories; a tangible achievement for each child; a way to help families with medical expenses or a related cause chosen by the child.
You see? The magic multiplies, lives on forever – readers are inspired by the wisdom and imagination of these children.
