This chapbook is the product of a collaboration between 826 Valencia and Buena Vista Horace Mann, a bilingual K-8 school in San Francisco’s Mission District. Throughout the spring semester, tutors, interns, and staff worked virtually with groups of third, fourth, and fifth graders as they created misunderstood monsters, shared their expertise, and honored mentors in their lives. These stories of adventure, new worlds, and lessons learned are straight from the imaginations of our young writers.
