It means that there are countless possible versions of a story. For example, a traditional fairy tale can be retold from the perspective of the villain, which gives a completely different meaning.
In the field of storytelling, it also means that we should encourage collaboration. Different voices, whether it's the writer, the illustrator, the editor, or the readers, all contribute to the meaning. When these voices work together or are considered together, the story becomes more multi - dimensional. For instance, an illustrator might depict a character in a way that adds a new layer of meaning that the writer didn't initially intend. This collaborative nature enriches the overall storytelling experience.
