Rebecca Rose Mooradian’s debut picture book was inspired by her great-grandmother’s escape from genocide

Rebecca Rose Mooradian’s great-grandmother fled the Armenian Genocide and eventually settled in the United States. Rose by the Sea, Mooradian’s debut picture book, was inspired by her grandmother’s story and combines lyrical lines with beautiful images by Myo Yim to help children understand both troubling history and enduring human goodness.

Ways to Support the Work

Chapter 16, launched in October 2009, is an online journal about books, writers, and literary events in Tennessee and serves as the state affiliate of the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress.

We cover novels set here; histories involving Tennessee events or locations; authors who live here, were born or educated here; and out-of-state writers when they give readings or participate in book signings anywhere in the state. We also publish original poems and essays by prominent Tennessee authors (including previews of their works in progress).

Your donations help us continue to engage in the stories of the past and present to build a better future for Tennesseans. Contributions help make Chapter16 possible and ensure it remains free for the community. Individual gifts, foundation grants, and corporate sponsorships help connect communities through shared stories and allow us all to build a better future for all Tennesseans.
