'Only one thing is certain: We all die.

'But in our world of privilege and plenty we do not expect our children to die. This book is a conversation between a mother and daughter Scarlet, a young woman of 20, who died in 2012, just ten days before she turned 21. Stray Pages is a mash-up of random, non-linear thoughts and feelings spread across 13 months and spanning ten years or more.

'Here are words, poems and songs gathered from the diaries of Scarlet and Victoria; song lyrics from Scarlet’s sister, and a few other voices called upon to help.'

1 Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership : Raising the Status of Children’s Voices in Ireland and Australia Orla Kenny , Jo Holmwood , Victoria Ryle , Simon Spain , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Bookbird , vol. 55 no. 2 2017; (p. 60-63) 'Why should any society listen to children? How can we, as adults, support children’s individuality and their creative expression? How can we make space for children as active cultural agents within their communities and on a global level? In the words of IBBY’s founder, Jella Lepman, “Let us set this upside down world right again by starting with the children. They will show the grown-ups the way to go” (qtd. in Said). In its twenty-year history, Kids’ Own Publishing has turned the publishing paradigm upside-down to give a platform for children’s voices in two countries.' (Introduction)
