Pandemic Stories of Children All Over the World
PBS Books, in partnership with GPB, is thrilled to present an unforgettable, emotional evening of reading, as the biggest children's book authors read real pandemic stories submitted by real kids!

When author Kelly Yang (Front Desk, New From Here) invited children to write their pandemic stories, she was floored by the tender, hopeful, and resonant stories she got. To date, she's published over 500 powerful stories on her website! Now Kelly Yang and her author friends Stuart Gibbs, Meg Medina, Jacqueline Woodson, Jasmine Warga, Jeff Kinney, Jewell Parker Rhodes, and Margarita Engle are proud to read a wonderful selection of pandemic stories from children all over the world! Let us commemorate the incredible courage and resilience from kids worldwide by celebrating their voices!
