Joem Antonio is part of a group of writers and illustrators who believe that stories play a crucial role in every child's growth. So, apart from publishing books the traditional way, they've also chosen to donate material to the public through Stories for our Children. In so doing, they hope that storytellers young and old fill their pockets with stories to share.
