This juried exhibition contains eighty-three pieces of artwork - selected from a pool of hundreds - created by young people ranging from five to eighteen years of age. The artwork, at once troubling and touching, reflects the children's memories of the September tragedy and the fear, sadness, anger, and hope they felt. Accompanying the artwork in this book are essays by mental health experts, historians, artists, teachers, journalists, religious and political leaders, and others from across the New York metropolitan area. They discuss such varying topics as children's roles as witnesses to history, children's use of art as a means to express pain, the power of the artwork, and children's extraordinary ability to put their hearts and souls down on paper.
