for children that publishes writing and art created by children from

students at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Their purpose 
was to "encourage youngsters to use writing as a way to talk about 
their lives." They continue to run the publication today from their 
offices in Santa Cruz, California. Each issue of Stone Soup contains 
stories, poems, and art by primarily 8 to 13-year-old contributors.

characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise 
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create 
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life
