Dear Student,

 

There is nothing more powerful than a human story. That's why I created A BOOK by ME. I welcome you to our website and thank you for your interest in joining hundreds of other kids 18 and younger in an adventure preserving history for future generations. Our current goals are to capture the last of the stories of the WWII generation, the Civil Rights era, Korean War and Vietnam Veterans. 

 

This project will enrich your life, the life of your subject and both families for generations to come. Whether you choose to write a Holocaust story, a Human Rights story, or a Hero's story, your job is to bring it to life for readers.  Many amazing stories are waiting to be told so good luck to you as you begin this remarkable labor of love. 

 

As Rosie the Riveter would say "WE CAN DO THIS!"
