Felicidad es pizza.
Felicidad es el sonido de un elefante.
Felicidad es ir al parque.
Felicidad es la forma en que Evelyn me dice hola.
Felicidad parece rosa.
Felicidad es cuando voy a ver una película, como pizza, y
veo a gatos.
Happiness is pizza.
Happiness is the sound of an elephant.
Happiness is going to the park.
Happiness is the way Evelyn tells me hello.
Happiness looks pink.
Happiness is when I go to see a movie, eat pizza, and
see cats.
UNBOUND: The Power and Possibility of Young Writers’ Emotions began in the fall of 2024, when librarian and literacy ambassador Mychal Threets invited young people across the country to write about their feelings, their way. Together, we shared writing prompts and activities for students in grades K–12 to explore the depth and complexity of their emotions through storytelling. No feeling was too big or too small. No genre was off-limits. Writing has long been a way for young people to make sense of the world, to capture what matters to them, and to imagine new possibilities. This anthology is a window into how young people are feeling right now. Joy, grief, rage, love—all of it belongs here and in this moment. We invite you to read these pages as they were written: with an open heart, brave and unbound.
We are thrilled to have you as the newest member of our online community. Stay up-to-date on the the latest and most relevant resources, student publication opportunities, and what’s new with the 826 Digital community.
