The Best of KidSpirit, Volume X, features pieces selected by the publication’s global network of teen editors as most exemplifying its mission to explore life’s big questions in an open and collaborative spirit. Youth representatives of over 20 communities around the world voted in this year’s KidSpirit Awards, selecting 32 articles, poems, and works of art for special recognition. All of the winners are featured in the new volume, along with similarly lauded content published last year.

Four issues of the online magazine are represented in The Best of KidSpirit, Volume X, each exploring a youth-chosen theme. Readers will discover global youth voices on the topics of Violence and Healing, Courage, Now & Then, and Finding Meaning. Writers and artists included in the volume hail from across the United States, as well as China, Ukraine, India, Haiti, Pakistan, Paraguay, Liberia, Australia, Jordan, Taiwan, Spain, and the UK.
