About This Project
New York? Dubai? Jupiter? Includes original writing, illustrations, and more by the students of 826 Boston's After-School and Virtual Tutoring Programs, created both in person and from home from February through June 2020.
We are excited about the different types of creativity that we were able to publish on our very first website, and we hope our pieces make you laugh (or give you some food for thought) wherever you may be.
