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.

 

Her work resonates with both young hearts and their support network of families, caregivers, parents, and educators. Whether shared at bedtime, in classrooms, or during quiet moments of self-discovery, these books celebrate the journey of growing up together.
