Why is the Book Focused on 6th Graders?
When discussing her book Hope: Project Middle School, Alyssa Milano states that she wants kids to show how they have a voice.
With an interview with The View, she clarifies why she chose in particular, a 6th grader, through which the story was narrated:
I think children have the most innate ability to be compassionate and empathetic and they just do it. It’s part of their nature. It’s part of who they are.
Then the Insatiable producer went on to explain how the natural empathy is lost as we grow up because we start focusing too much on ourselves. Somehow, that becomes a reason for us to learn an ugliness that reduces our empathy. Milano wanted to ensure that kids are reminded of how their voices still matter and just like Hope, they can make a difference in the world.
