My Story Zivia Reischer

Every kid has a story.

Mordy never does what he’s supposed to do, and he gets all this nosh and prizes. Maybe I should stop doing my homework and then they’ll give me a soda can too.
—Shloimy, age 10

I couldn’t figure out how this had happened. Why didn’t Tzipora want to be my friend anymore? I hadn’t done anything wrong to her. Why did she drop me like that?
—Adina, age 12

I was just standing there, watching all the action in that huge echoing room, and my stomach started hurting again. I turned to my father and blurted, “What if the plane crashes?”
—Moshe, age 10

In My Story, 18 boys and girls share their stories in their own words. You’ll meet the new kid in the class, the kid who has two homes, and the kid who does something she never thought possible. You’ll hear about medical challenges, sibling fun and fights, summer camp and school plays and the things kids want most in the world.

In these stories, kids (and adults!) will experience the world through kids’ eyes. You’ll find boys and girls who face their fears, fight for what’s right, and figure out how the world works. You may even find yourself.
