Stories About Children Accomplishing Goals Meant To Inspire Young People
Dr. Veronica Appleton always knew children’s literature was a space where she could create an impact, with stories about children accomplishing their goals and dreams. Despite being rejected by multiple publishers over the course of five years, she decided to continue to write. “Journey to Appleville” was the first in her collection of books. This summer, Appleton released “Mama Why,” a comic book about a young boy who loses friends to gun violence and becomes a community activist.
