The Change We Carry is a collection of seventeen deeply human stories that explore what it means to grow, to question, and to choose courage in a world that often forgets how. Spanning cities and villages, rooftops and riverbanks, kitchens and classrooms, these tales follow quiet rebels, wounded dreamers, and small acts that ripple into something larger. A girl counts lost monsoons. A boy learns to grow sunlight. A lunchbox becomes a lifeline. A rooftop garden reclaims joy. Written with tenderness and grit, this book is for educators, teenagers, and anyone who believes that change isn't just carried in policy — but in people. In stories. In us. The world is changing. The question is: What change do you carry?
