Dave Eggers – whose books include A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering GeniusandA Hologram for the King – has been helping kids with their writing for years through 826 Valencia, a nonprofit he co-founded in 2002. He tells our own Elizabeth Blair that he hopes the I, Witness series will help young readers grasp world events that might otherwise feel abstract.

It’s a series of mid-grade books written by kids (or people writing about their own experiences as kids) who’ve witnessed global traumas: hurricanes, terrorism, injustice. You can hear the whole story here.
