826 Boston - Publications

Publications

In June 2008, 826 Boston released its first publication, I Wish They Would Have Asked Me, a collection of writing by students at The English High School, the oldest consistently running public high school in the United States. A second publication, 2% of 2% of All The World's Stories, was published in 2009. It contains bedtime stories written and edited by students in 826 Boston's after-school tutoring program. In the tradition of publications by other 826 chapters, 826 Boston aims to publish a new title each year. In 2010, 826 Boston published a collection of writing and photographs created by the students at Greater Egleston Community High School titled We Turned Back to See Where We Came From and a collection of educational histories from The English High School (based on Sherman Alexie's essay "Indian Education") called Small Things Can Grow Tall: Words from the Underestimated.
