Measurable Outcome(s)

GCV had conversations with or recorded interviews with teachers, the student who became the book author and the illustrator, as well as educators and administrators who used the book in their classrooms or schools. The student author said the book encouraged him in his educational journey; the illustrator gave advice to book launch attendees on successfully publishing books; educators said this kind of book was especially relevant for illustrating the identity issues so many issues faced by immigrant youth. One educator said the book is "woven together superbly" and is "a window into Daniel?s quest for cultural identity [which has] power to connect to the emotional needs of students." The community dialogue that was a part of the book launch allowed attendees to share personal stories about immigration. 54 youth narratives were recorded. 1,000 books were sold. We had 40 book launch attendees.
