The Full Story
About
The William James Collection ® is about making connections across generations within families. This fresh voice in children's and young adult literature brings stories to life at every stage of youth development: from early childhood wonder through the complexities of teenage years.
​
Through thoughtful storytelling, Dr. Yi Zhang captures the essence of children growing up - from picture books that spark imagination to future novels that navigate life's deeper quests. Drawing from her insights into child development and family relationships, Dr. Yi crafts meaningful stories about building connection in moments that matter.
