We are the moments that shape us…

Every conversation, every minute on the job, every daydream, every chance encounter—these moments all add up to something much greater than the sum of their parts. If cultivated properly, each of these disjointed moments can spark magic within and help us become who we are truly meant to be in this world.

In Becoming a Writer, David Kherdian lays out some selected memories, moments, and places in time that proved critical in shaping his soul as an editor, poet, and writer.

We all have a story tell…

David captures the magic of each moment of life and encourages us all to do the same.

From his early childhood memories walking up and down the streets of Racine, Wisconsin with his gang of friends to crushing disappointment at the hands of overly critical school teachers…

From his days as a door-to-door magazine salesman all the way to Japan on the eve of the war in Korea…

From a stint compiling the works of the Beat Poets in San Francisco to decoding the raw emotion contained in his mother’s own memoirs…

Becoming a Writer is more than just a memoir. In detailing the defining moments of his life, David Kherdian also provides us with a guide to help capture the magic within our own lives, put it to paper, and ultimately share it with the world.


Paperback Edition

181-bedtimestorytext.png

Goodnight Moon has sold over 48 million copies and has been translated into at least 14 languages.  Sadly, this classic bedtime story has never been translated into Ukrainian...until now.   Together, let's translate and publish Goodnight Moon in Ukrainian and share it with Ukrainian children across the world.

 

Intended to set the stage for a night of sweet dreams, the Ukrainian edition of Goodnight Moon is now more relevant than ever for the children of Ukraine.  Forced to leave their homes as a result of a heart-wrenching war, these children have lost everything - their homes, their sense of security, and their way of life.  No child should have to endure such torment.  No child should be deprived of a night of sweet dreams.  And so, the war in Ukraine has given this translation campaign a new sense of urgency.  If we hit our minimum printing target goal, we will print at least 3,000 copies for the young children who have been displaced from their homes in Ukraine as well as for the maternity ward in Kyiv.  (If we exceed our goal, we'll be able to donate even more books!)

In the midst of uncertainty and chaos, the simplicity and calmness of Goodnight Moon will send a powerful message of relief to the children of the Ukraine and let them know that they are not alone.  We hope that this book will bring together children all across the globe - peering out to the same moon in the night sky.
