ages 4-7 (simply a suggested age)
You are a storyhunter.
The Wild Writers Society of Young People exists to help children stay wild in a world that tries to tame them. At this age, children are naturally surreal, emotionally honest, and inventive. Becoming a Seeker helps preserve that. Seekers are not expected to produce sustained written work. Their job is discovery.Â

Your animal symbol is the Jackrabbit.
The Jackrabbit hears, sees, and feels everything. Their large ears are powerful, and their strong legs catapult them across the land. May your journey be like the Jackrabbit as you catapult your imagination into new places.
Let them be wild. Not every story needs to be finished or polished or even written down. At this age, YOUR curiosity is everything.
