The Story Shapers Experience is Rolling—Want Us to Stop Near You?

Tell us where we should go (nicely, please—we’ve got rats onboard!)

Two teenagers. Two dogs. Two rats. One big RV and a bigger mission— Bring the Story Shapers Experience to all 50 States!

Rebecca Young, author and founder of Bug & Bear Press, is hitting the road with an RV full of mischievous misfits to visit schools, libraries, bookshops, and other wild little corners of the country with:

📖 Live readings from The Story Shapers and other Bug & Bear books

🎨 Creativity Challenges for kids of all ages

🎁 Book giveaways and storytelling surprises
🐀 And maybe—even—a special appearance by Bart the Rat himself (or his much chiller buddy, Banjo).

Right now, we’re in launch mode for our very first co-created book—Faye’s Foil—and the next 30 days are all about giving back. 

Every stop on the Story Shapers tour is part of something bigger:
a nationwide movement where kids help shape the stories—and choose where 75% of book launch royalties go.

As a thank-you for raising your hand, we’ll also send you a free copy of The Story Shapers—the book that launched the movement and gives you a taste of what we bring on tour.
