Their Story with Sara Troy and her guest Spike Adams, on air from December 20th
“A fitting tribute to the teenager who could see so clearly and feel so deeply, The Mask is an allegory that teachers and parents will welcome as a starting point for discussions about many of the most valuable and elusive of human traits—love, courage, integrity, and kindness. Beautifully illustrated by Rohan Daniel Eason.”
— BookLife Prize from Publishers Weekly
The Mask, written by Clayton Marshall Adams and illustrated by Rohan Daniel Eason, tells the story of a disfigured man who is bullied by the local villagers until the forest offers him beauty in exchange for a future unknown service, whenever it is demanded by The Mask. The Mask is an allegorical tale that touches upon our human frailties, inspires us to find our inner truth, and dares us to be more courageous than we can imagine. Beautifully illustrated and designed, the award-winning book The Mask compels a reader to ponder important social issues such as bullying and body image as well as the meaning of beauty and truth.

They say that the message Clayton conveys, quite eloquently and quite powerfully, is something that is spoken of in the Bible, by mystics, and by philosophers and poets. What is that message? (“Be kind to others. It’s as simple as that. It does not matter whether someone is different than you in terms of color, culture, religion, or sexual orientation”)
