“This is a book, and a book is a world, and words are the seeds in which meanings are curled. Pages of oceans and margins of land are civilizations you hold in the palm or your hand.

Traci Chee, The Storyteller

Traci Chee, The Storyteller
“That’s the stuff stories are made of.”
“But she died.” Lac’s voice broke, embarrassingly.

Traci Chee, The Storyteller
“Look towards the horizon, that's where the adventures are.”
Traci Chee, The Storyteller

Traci Chee, The Storyteller
“¿Qué viene después del final del libro? La esperanza. Y las posibilidades.”
