Do you have a favorite animal, superhero, or sport? Maybe you have a hope or dream you’re ready to share? Turn your unique view of the world into a one-of-a-kind book! Together, we’ll use the fundamentals of the English language, the ABCs, as a structure to capture our observations, interests, hopes, and goals. In the mornings, we’ll make our way through the alphabet and write about our individual topics for each letter, while learning the building blocks of poetry: metaphor, rhyme, simile, and more. In the afternoons, we’ll create illustrations to bring our writing to life, learning about the importance of line, color, and shape in creating compositions. Each day will be guided by the author of the award-winning, celebrity-endorsed alphabet book “M is for Mindful,” Robin L. Flanigan, and illustrator Zazie Weldgen. At the end of the week, we’ll share our crafty creations with family and friends at an informal book launch.

Teaching Artist(s): Robin L. Flanigan and Zazie Weldgen
