What are Puzzle Shift Create origin stories?

The awesome creators that you see in the world did not get there by luck or chance. It was a long process that started a long time ago. I want to share the “origin stories” for creators of every type so middle school kids can see that they’re already on the path to becoming a creator and that the paths all look different.

Lucy Ravitch wrote “The Pancake Menu” and blogs at Kidsmathteacher.com. She is gracious enough to let me ask her a few questions about how she got to this point as a creator! Please enjoy!
