The universe is not made of atoms; it’s made of tiny stories.

To create The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, Joseph Gordon-Levitt-known within the hitRECord.org community as RegularJOE—directs thousands of collaborators to tell tiny stories through words and art. With the help of the entire creative collective, Joe culls, edits and curates the massive numbers of contributions into this finely tuned collection. Reminiscent of the 6-Word Memoir series and the PostSecret books, The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories brings together art and voices from around the world to unite and tell stories that defy size.
