Absolutely, stories are like bridges that connect hearts and minds. When we bring books or shared stories into community programs, we give people a safe space to feel seen, to share their own experiences, and to learn empathy from others. It's amazing how a single tale can spark a conversation, lift spirits, and remind us that we’re all part of the same human story. So, keep weaving those narratives into your programs—they’re a gentle, powerful way to heal and build community together.
