MODEST FOCUSES ON INTENTIONALITY AND CREATIVE EXPRESSION.

Each volume we create has a unique theme. For volume II, we chose “Stories That Shape Us.” We hope this inspires you to revisit your own experiences, strike up conversations with friends or family, and recall the feelings of wonder that stories often bring.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all that contributed to making this volume’s vision come to life. And to our readers, we would not be here without you. ♡
