We are living in historic and unprecedented times. The lock-down period was an extremely difficult time for our kids. Every single teen in New York has their own Covid-19 story.
The art and writing created by the students in "Sheltering Stories" reveals pain and sadness, but also joy and insights. It is interesting and educational to find out what these teenagers thought and felt during this upsetting time. Hopefully teenagers from all over the world will see this work and feel inspired to say something with their own voices.
What makes this book unique is the diversity of its contributors. They come from a range of backgrounds, nationalities, education styles, and home neighborhoods - each extremely different from each other.
The teens are of African, African-American, Asian, Australian, Egyptian, German, Hispanic, Irish, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim heritage. They attend charter, private, and public schools. They reside in neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Newark, NJ.
What these teenagers have in common is their age range and their experience of the lock-down.
The result is "Sheltering Stories: Teen Talk about Covid-19," an emotional, poignant, and compelling tale.
"Sheltering Stories: Teen Talk about Covid-19" provides us with food for thought about the feelings, thoughts and insights of New York City teenagers about the Covid-19 2020 lockdown time. It is our time to bear witness to what they are saying and listen.
