During this summer long program, each child will progressively create their own book. Each week a writing genre and prompt will be chosen, and the child will write a story then illustrate it by using a different art technique. Proper writing guidelines and techniques will be explained, and each participant will be encouraged to share some of their writing. The importance and significance of book covers will be taught as well as critiquing each other's work. 

Dive into the hive with Al Tuttle during this fun family event!
