A teacher discovers how reading, writing, and imagining can help children grow, change, and even sometimes survive. A few years back, children's-book writer Sam Swope gave a workshop to a third-grade class in Queens. So enchanted was he with his twenty-eight students that he "adopted" the class for three years, teaching them to write stories and poems.
