Category: Archive: Letters and Voices
The Archive of Voices and Letters brings the voices of creators to children wherever they are. In the Archive, you can find uplifting letters written by authors and illustrators directly to children, accompanied by voice recordings of the creators personally reading their messages out loud. We encourage everyone to take a moment to look through the Archive – we promise that people of all ages will be inspired.
