Explore the stories of spring with us!

We are accepting up to 6 children, ages k-grade 3,
for 4-weeks of 8-sessions of outdoor, active explorations and walking story-making through spoken and written words, pictures, data graphics, maps, research at archives and interviews with primary sources.

We meet Mondays  and Thursdays, 3:15-5:15 p.m. Start at the Cook County YMCA and be ready to walk, wonder, collect specimens for video microscope viewing, discuss, write, draw, design, play and fieldtrip your way to fun, learning, creative growth and empathetic helpfulness.

Then make it all into books we publish and sell to raise money for community betterment projects that our child-staffed advisory -- Youth In Philanthropic Publishing (YIPP) -- board identifies and votes on.

Does this remind you of Girl Scout cookie sales? You're right! The difference is we make the products we sell: books by kids, for everyone! Join us!

 Questions? Please call, email, or write us a paper letter. We have hardly any social media; it's bad for your imagination and sense of self.

The occasional  Instagram is as far as we go. Even that is iffy. Check out the compelling 2021 FaceBook (now called Meta) Whistleblower Frances Haugen testimony before Congress about FB's  "moral bankruptcy"
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/05/frances-haugen-whistleblower-moral-bankruptcy-facebook. Read or listen to the early revelations in the Wall Street Journal's investigative series, Facebook Files here https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039

Drop social media. Go outside.

Or, join our Pencil & Punctuation Club and learn how to make writing implements and use semicolons and be a good person communicating  kindly and effectively through paper  letters.

NEW in 2023! Our outdoor Letteracy Deck has been generously funded by the Blandin Foundation of Grand Rapids, Minnesota! It opens in June 2023 as a screen-free and free mentored public space for civil correspondence.
