What is Pandora and the Story Forge about?

Pandora travels through a wondrous world collecting words from hedges, rivers, stones and skies—even the noisy ones that refuse to behave. She carries her unusual treasures home, where they shimmer, tumble and dance before being forged into magical stories. When Pandora sends these tales out into the world, children discover that reading can make stories unfurl inside their hearts. Soon, they too are gathering words, imagining new worlds and becoming storytellers in their own right.
