Still Waters in a Storm is a magical place. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to spend time with the children at Still Waters and to talk with them about writing, reading and how to write about home. Their fabulous creativity, their curiosity, their energy and enthusiasm all made my afternoon a joyful and amazing experience. Anyone who cares about children, writing, reading, education–anyone who wants to feel hopeful about our future in this country–should visit Still Waters in a Storm.
