Stone Soup is a literary magazine for children that publishes writing and art created by children from all over the world.[1] The magazine was founded in 1972 by college students at Porter College at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the first issue of the magazine was published in May 1973. Their purpose was to “encourage youngsters to use writing as a way to talk about their lives.”[2] The founder, William Rubel, continues to run the publication today along with Editor Emma Wood and other colleagues from their offices in Santa Cruz, California.[3] Booklist described Stone Soup’s editorial philosophy as, “Children can meet the highest standard of literature and art.”[4][5]
