"Some stories need to be heard, not just read. When I sat down to narrate these books in my own voice, I was thinking about the people who learn best by listening — the ones driving to work, walking their neighborhoods, or sitting at the table with their families. These stories belong to all of us, and I wanted them to reach people wherever they are. If even one listener hears something that helps them make sense of their own story, then this was worth doing." — Dr. Carl L. Young
