2 min readJun 27, 2023

We live in a world of blue skies, where we encounter various challenges. But let’s take a moment to imagine something extraordinary — a world where the sky is no longer bound by its symbolically conventional blue hue. Imagine a world where the sky is painted in magnificent shades of purple– a world free from the grasp of climate change, hunger, and inequity… where endless horizons are present.

Welcome to Chasing Purple Skies, a progressive publication that uses the power of youth to transform the future into a vibrant “skyline of change.”

“Purple skies” symbolize a realm of innovation without bounds, improvement, and nurturing. We hold the key to creating a future where we can shift from blue to purple skies.

How it started —

Chasing Purple Skies is a children’s book that takes young readers on a journey through the Arctic with a lovable polar bear named Purple. As the sky changes from yellow to purple, it symbolizes a world protected from the effects of climate change.

Chasing Purple Skies is more than just a book — it’s a movement. It’s a call to action for young individuals to rise up, make a difference, and shape a future where purple skies symbolize ideal horizons across all aspects of life. Our publication will consist of topics like sustainability, social equity, youth empowerment, innovation, and education. We believe in the power of simplicity, making complex ideas accessible to all (particularly for individuals to grasp at a young age!)

Understanding that Medium has numerous young readers/writers, Chasing Purple Skies hopes to provide them with the knowledge necessary to establish effective advocacy. Chasing Purple Skies is built on tapping into our sense of childhood wonder. We are actively seeking talented young writers to join our team. Whether you want to contribute articles, share book reviews, or engage in thought-provoking discussions for the pursuance of purple skies, we warmly welcome your unique perspectives! Together, let’s collaborate and make a lasting impact.*

We are looking for entertaining but informative articles to engage young readers, our future changemakers.
