Paula Banks is an award-winning Youth Voice Advocate and founder of LitKids Create, an initiative that helps young writers discover their voice and gives parents and educators practical tools to nurture it. Through her confidence-first approach to writing instruction, Paula encourages children to see themselves as storytellers before worrying about getting every word right. Her work is rooted in the belief that when children believe their ideas and voices have value, they are more willing to write, take creative risks, revise, and grow. Paula is also the founder of EION Books Publishing, where she helps bring meaningful children’s stories from idea to publication. Her work with young writers includes the Books By Me workshop, where students develop their own stories and have the opportunity to become published authors. As an author, educator, publisher, and speaker, Paula’s mission is simple: create spaces where children know their stories matter and where the adults supporting them have the tools to help those stories grow.

What happens when children are given the space to tell their own stories? This.

I Got a Story to Tell is a one-of-a-kind anthology featuring nine young authors who did exactly that. Through adventure, humor, mystery, and heart, these students brought their imaginations to life and created something real, something lasting, and something entirely their own.

Born out of the LitKids Create Books By Me workshop, this collection is the result of young writers being guided, encouraged, and taken seriously as creators. Each story is a window into how a child sees the world — unfiltered, bold, and full of possibility.

This is more than a book. It is proof that authorship has no age limit. It is a celebration of what becomes possible when children are treated as storytellers from the start — not someday, but right now.

For young readers, these are stories written by kids just like them. For parents and educators, this is a reminder of what children are capable of when creativity is treated as something worth investing in.

I Got a Story to Tell, Volume 1 is just the beginning.
