Students participated in a 6 month program where they wrote stories about their individual experiences during the pandemic. They also created a 16 x 20 fabric art collage to demonstrate their stories. The book, titled High-Flown Words: Griot Guide youth storytelling created during the COVID pandemic, includes the stories and pictures of the art along with credit to each first-time youth author, is available on Amazon.
