Field notes
The homepage frames the stories as short reads for sharing, with each one followed by three prompts for conversation. It specifies 16-point type on cream paper and estimates five to ten minutes per story. A linked companion booklet adds ten stories that did not fit in the book, including the dishwasher, paper bag, windshield wiper, blue jeans, and shopping cart; the page says no signup is needed to download it.
