Welcome to The Hub's First Official Writing Project.  Authors and members at The Hub were challenged to write a story of at least 500 words from the perspective of an animal.  Each author was asked to choose a different animal to feature in their story, as illustrated in the story icons below.  After you've read the stories below, please take a moment to thank the authors - their hard work is the reason this Writing Project was possible.
