Child Voices on When the World Closed
For us, children’s responses to the book When the World Closed are a better measure of success than any sales figures, donations made, awards given, or expert praise. We are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to share our story with the people who most needed to hear it, and are even more grateful for its positive reception. Helping children through this difficult time has given our work purpose and meaning. We hope to continue to do so as the world begins opening back up again.
