THE STORY OF FOLD

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Flower City full of people from all different cultures and communities...

The city had beautiful book buildings and the people in the city loved books, but something was missing.

In this Flower City, there lived a woman who wrote and read books. She searched far and wide for a place to celebrate all kinds of stories, but nothing quite worked. So she decided to create a celebration of books in the magical Flower City she called home that would draw readers and writers of every kind from far and wide.

But she couldn’t do it alone.

She found one special friend—a writer who was bright and wise, who could help bring this dream to life.

And so they did.

They created wonderful book celebrations and they brought storytellers from far and wide. But

Now, three women work together to create an in-

world come to tell their stories.

So they dreamed up a very special book party—a festival for kids and parents and teachers, and they

And because of that, we all live—and read— happily ever afters.

brought someone extra special along to help build a festival of books in this fabulous Flower City for the smallest readers of all.

They searched far and wide, and when they found the perfect person, she built a celebration just for kids when the weather turns orange and red and the wind whispers cool lullabies.

THE MAGICAL LAND OF BOOKS

Talia Di Monte, age 12 You flip a page, then another, now you have entered the land of magical wonder.

Where the tales twist and spin, a ghost or a goblin, teenagers or children.

They all love tales, good and bad, gnarly and rad, scary and funny.

Books can be mad!

Witches and knights!

Unruly fights!

Lightning and courageous might!

Or to fly a kite!

Books can inspire!

It could light your heart on fire!

It could make you inquire.

Books, stories, poems and more!

Fill me with joy and no bore.

The story and the meaning!

It taunts me and it’s gleaming!

You turn more pages, though you try to desist, there is no use.

You choose, one last chapter, then you read another after.

It’s 12 a.m. now, will you continue your journey, or will it end?

It said:

He realized that what he saw was true. He quickly wrote a scroll to the queen.

“Dear Wizard, Thank you for this information. Please give me more information.”

There were some islands in the middle of the map. The wizard thought the King was lost somewhere in those islands. He wrote a scroll to the Queen.

It stated: “Dear Queen, I have a little more information for you. I saw a group of islands which resembled a snake. I think that he is probably in one of those islands.”

—Signed, Galen Longbeard

The Queen travelled and tried to find the King. She finally found the King, but a ferocious beast attacked them. The Queen and the King tried to escape but they couldn’t. Draco thought that the Queen was in danger and quickly flew to the rescue. Draco fought with the beast and knocked it into the water causing it to drown. Then the Dragon took the King and the Queen to the castle, where they lived happily ever after.

not always loud, but always near. it sings to me when i feel blind, and stays until my thoughts are clear. may i talk to the painter whose sky is so wide? whose brushstrokes bloom in pink and gray.

1.

can i ask if the clouds are tears he hides, and if the rain means he’s not okay? can i speak to the potter who molded the land, whose fingers curved each hill with care? did he hold me with that same hand, or was i shaped with less to spare? is there a conductor for birds and the breeze, who tells the robin when to sing?

2.

are the thunder and storm his melodies, the beat of his drums, the pull of his string? he paints, he sculpts, he makes the sound, a masterpiece in every tree. but in all this beauty that i’ve found, i still wonder why he painted me. if i can write of love and ache, with just a heart and ink-stained page, how much more could the greatest of great make with stars and storms and timeless age? was i a sketch he meant to toss, a line gone wrong, a shattered frame? my thoughts feel crooked, bent with loss. he’s perfect. i am not the same. but still i breathe, and still i try, a question wrapped in skin and soul.

and maybe he, who shaped the sky, won’t rest until he makes me whole.

Charlotte wasn’t sure he wasn’t going to prank her so she decided to watch for anything Jaylen said or did that was suspicious she was ready. Back at Jaylen’s house Jaylen was making a machine that would make a bucket of salsa dip explode on her head! When he finished he brought it to Charlotte as a sorry gift and he said, “Sorry for yelling at you Charlotte press the buzzer it has my voice in it,” Little did he know Charlotte knows him very well so she stepped back out of the door way and pushed the buzzer.

But instead of finding a reward, Chino was launched by a barrel of explosives! He flew around the planet 12 times before landing—SPLASH!— into the ocean. Underwater, Chino met his old friend, King Squid, the ruler of the sea. “Here, take this map,” the King said. “It’s special. Trust it.” Chino followed the glowing map for hours. Finally, he reached the Banana in the Stone, where three other monkeys were already trying to pull it out. None of them could. Chino pulled hard and suddenly, POP!—he got it!

Just then, evil creatures appeared—reapers and necromancers. They wanted the banana. Chino tried to fight them off with it. The banana had a strange power: it made enemies slip and fall again and again. But it wasn’t enough. “It needs magic,” Chino said. So he ran to the top of the tallest mountain, where a powerful forge once stood. But the forge was gone. Suddenly,

UNTITLED Katharina Speckner, age 12 One Day a kitten was laying under a tree. She was waiting for her friend to come down from the tree. The kittens name was Cookie and her friend’s name is Cocoa.

She was bored so she went up the tree and found out what was taking Cocoa so long. She saw she was having a tea party without her. Cocoa said ’’I thought you would come up but you didn’t.’’ That made her feel better about the problem. She joined them and had a blast. She was still mad at Cocoa but she forgot about it because she was having too much fun at the tea party.

When the tea party was done they went down the tree and went to sleep. They dreamed of the tea party and how fun it would be so much fun to have a friend with them. They woke up and was happy because of their dream and went back up the tree and tried to find a friend to do a tea party with. They looked everywhere but they could not find anyone. They gave up because it was all ready noon. They were so sad because they could not find any animals to have a tea party with.

They heard a voice ’’I will have a tea party with you.’’

They heard the voice and said ’’who’s there.’’ Nothing happened for a moment and then a chipmunk came down the tree and said ’’I will have a tea party with you if my friends, brothers and sisters can come to the tea party.’’ They were so happy that someone would come to their tea party they said “YES.’’ The chipmunk called for his friends and family. One hundred chipmunks came running down the tree. It was so cool it looked like a chipmunk pool. They had such a fun time with the chipmunks that they fell down on their backs because how funny the chipmunks were. They now live with the chipmunks. They went to bed.

ATTAI’S MYSTERIOUS PICNIC Jayita Vijayakaran, age 13 “How long?” asked Anikha. “Almost there,” I said.

“A few more hills.” Anikha groaned. “What!? I could barely climb the first steep one. Why do we have to go through these craggy mountains just to get some plants for your aunt’s grand meal?” It was an ordinary Saturday afternoon, and my attai had taken us to a forest for our annual weekend picnic. It was a summer tradition to go on a picnic, since it was the only time she came back to Canada from Colombia where she worked as a geographer. This time, my best friend, Anikha, begged to come along, since my attai told us that we will be going on the most unforgettable mission of our lives. It was to explore plants on a mountain in Québec. We equipped ourselves with trekking poles, helmets, crampons, and a GPS and off we went!

After training us, my attai assigned us to go up the first mountain of Mount Brome, and she said she’d meet us on the other side by 7pm. We had to collect three plants, but I recognized only the large hosta leaves we needed — to eat from. Usually back home, we have banana leaves to put our rice and curries on, but since we didn’t have any here, we needed big leaves. How-
