About the Book: The transition phase from childhood to adulthood is the golden age of our lives; it's the age of innocence, love and joy. But a young adult is not just a child anymore; they are not just students or playmates. Young adults, across the world, are actively participating in various fields as artists, writers, singers, sportspeople, activists, entrepreneurs and leaders, some from the comforts of their homes, while others on the global stage. Yes, they still dream of a world where fairies, witches, wizards, dragons, pokemons, their favourite cartoon characters and superheroes are real. But they also envision a world with genuine love, truth, peace, happiness and equality; not just for human beings, but for all beings and nature. Young adults are indeed the father of the man, aren't they? “The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation.” - Pearl S. Buck, American writer and novelist. "The youth need to be enabled to become job generators from job seekers." - Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India. It is with immense pride and joy that the entire team at StoryMirror selected, edited, compiled, designed, printed and published this beautiful collection of poems by young authors, 'Sandcastles & Paper Boats'. This book is a celebration of their unique thoughts, dreams, perspectives, creativity and imagination. We hope you enjoy this book as much as we loved creating it.
I'll Stand by You
"This may be the book that changes your life."—Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone “The saint of Staten Island” (People magazine) shares the inspirational story of how she’s changing the world, one child at a time. Over a decade ago, Elissa Montanti was reeling from the loss of several loved ones when she decided to work past her grief by collecting school supplies for Bosnian children. Then a U.N. ambassador showed her a photo of Kenan, a young boy who had lost both arms and one leg to a landmine. Elissa invited Kenan and his mother into her home, arranging free airfare, prosthetics, and medical care. Operating out of her apartment’s walk-in closet, Elissa’s Global Medical Relief Fund has since helped more than one hundred and fifty children from twenty-two countries injured in war zones and natural disasters around the world. I’ll Stand by You recounts Elissa’s remarkable story and how—in helping these children—she healed herself.

The volumes in this series set out to provide a contemporary record of the spread and development of the English language in South, Southeast, and East Asia from both a linguistic and literary perspective. Each volume will reflect themes that cut across national boundaries, including the study of language policies; globalization and linguistic imperialism; English in the media; English in law, government and education; 'hybrid' Englishes; and the bilingual creativity manifested by the vibrant creative writing found in a swathe of Asian societies. This book gives an in-depth analysis of the use of the English language in modern Japan. It explores the many ramifications the Japanese-English language and culture contact situation has for not only Japanese themselves, but also others in the international community. Data for this book has been gathered using anthropological ethnographic fieldwork, augmented by archival sources, written materials, and items from popular culture and the mass media. An interdisciplinary approach, including those of anthropological linguistics, sociolinguistics, cognitive science and symbolic anthropology, is taken in the exploration of the topics here. This book's arguments focus on four major theoretical linguistic and social issues, namely the place of the Japanese-English case in the larger context of 'World Englishes'; the place of the Japanese-English case in a general theory of language and culture contact; how Japanese English informs problems of categorization, meaning construction and cognition; and what it says about the social construction of identity and sense of self, nationalism and race. This book will be of interest to linguists, anthropologists, sociologists, cognitive scientists, and all readers who are interested in language contact, sociolinguistics, English as an international language, and World Englishes. It will also appeal to those who are interested in Japan and popular culture.
