The April 2020 issue of Stone Soup, the literary magazine 100% written and illustrated by kids age 13 and younger. Stone Soup has been inspiring young readers and celebrating the brilliance of its young creators since 1973; we currently publish eleven issues a year, each filled with short stories, memoir, poetry, and artwork.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

This issue is a bit different than usual for two reasons. First, we have started to serialize Hannah Nami Gajcowksi's fantastical novella, Elana, which placed third in our 2019 book contest. Elana follows the extraordinary adventures of a "furow" girl who lives on Neptune and has an important destiny to fulfill. We will be publishing Elana in three installments in our April, May, and June issues-we are sure you will be waiting impatiently for the next installments each month!

Second, it is National Poetry Month again! For this reason, we have chosen to showcase the work of two young poets. We hope you will enjoy reading this larger selection of work by a single poet (as well as an additional short story), and that you will take the time to read and reread these pieces. Poems may take less time to read than stories, but they are meant to be read many times.

Until next time!

Emma Wood
