In this inspiring collection, bestselling author and illustrator Jaime Buckley reflects on the power of fiction to spark imagination, build courage, and forge identity. Blending humor, hard-won wisdom, and heartfelt storytelling, Buckley reminds us that the stories we consume are the stories that shape who we become.
Whether you're a reader, parent, teacher, or writer, this book will challenge you to see fiction not as an escape, but as a guide-a compass pointing toward empathy, resilience, and hope.
