Mount Vernon Ink is a collective of students at The George Washington University working in collaboration with Safe Shores: The DC Children's Advocacy Agency to research, write, and produce short educational comic books on topics relevant to middle-school age children.

In "Reaching Out" (HC #1), Timmy and his sister are in a new foster placement that turns dangerous. What should they do?

In "Birds & Bees" (HC #2), Bobby's mom wants to have "the talk"--Ugh!

In "My Brother's Keeper" (HC #3), Jamie finds herself shut out by the cliques at school, while her brother is suddenly distant. Can she find the self-confidence to help him?
