Youth work and stories for children

I have always enjoyed volunteering to work with the youth of the kingdom. In 2020 our world changed in many ways.

I still wanted to be able to do one of my favorite types of work. I also believe that the youth have a right to bardic work as well. In response I shared some ideas of stories they could pursue on their own when and if they had time to do so. I also curated a list of websites to share interesting stories and bits of history pre 1600.
