“I, Witness” is a nonfictional series written by young adults who have experienced traumatic events. The stories are co-edited by Dave Eggers, who hopes to help young readers who have experienced traumatic situations. The books are narrated by young people to give their perspective on the incidents involving world issues. The authors would like the young readers to understand they are not alone, it’s going to happen, and how to react and reach out for help when it does.

The stories address injustice, persecution, natural disasters, and more.
