How Can We Make This World Worth Knowing?: An Anthology of Student Writing from Around the World, edited by the International Alliance of Youth Writing Centers, with an introduction by Hanif Abdurraqib, is a collection of writing from young people between the ages of six and eighteen. This anthology's essays, poems, and stories share the imagination, creativity, and power of over 250 young authors from all around the world. The themes and passions within this collection sprawl—from fantastical stories to deeply personal reflections on identity—but each piece works toward the answer to the question How Can We Make This World Worth Knowing? All of these young voices are worth getting to know.
