According to a press release from UCM, the stories explore common themes of friendship, loss, and growth, and use colorful imagery and language to bring their world’s to light for children all over.
The event is also serving as the launch of the SeedStar Books publishing imprint. The media release states that 'SeedStar Books' encourages students to challenge themselves and share their talents through editing and publication.

SeedStar will publish two titles per year,. One title will be by an emerging writer and illustrator team, and the other by previously established writers and illustrators, who can support the goal of nurturing young artists.
SeedStar Books is an imprint of Pleiades Press, which has been publishing literature for for almost 20 years.
