2020 Write & Illustrate Your Own Book Contest
In light of decreasing participation, 2020 will be the last year for the Write & Illustrate Your Own Book Contest. Thank you to the children who have participated over the years, and to the parents, teachers, and school staff who have encouraged them! Reading your books was a lot of fun, and seeing the faces of children and their families when they held their very own printed, bound book was a joy.
