Abstract
We believe that our most powerful approach to defy the erasure of people, knowledges, and open ways of living and being is generative storying together with children and families, educators, and the more-than-human. Storying takes many forms and is about more than overcoming coloniality or the earthly survival of humans. It is about taking a stance with a “citizenship of strangers” to compose more equitable, care-filled, and relational ways of living, especially with young children and their families. Thinking with storying as a liberatory and transformative process, we believe the perspectives of our human and more-than-human co-collaborators—the people, places, and materialities that collectively co-create these stories—are urgently required to offer satellites of hope amid the darkness and to practice living in radical relationality and a project of love.
