It’s December 15, which is the due date for kid-written-and-illustrated copies of The Snowmen Below.
Look at this stack of submissions! Who knew that there were so many authors and illustrators in our midst?!
While we’ve glanced through a few, we haven’t yet taken a close look at what kids have sent us. We’ll wait a few more days for any last stragglers to wander into the mailbox, but then, no later than Wednesday, I’d guess, we’ll sit down and read every one, cover to cover.
And then, I’m guessing, we’re going to have a tough decision on our hands.
But for today, we are just plain excited. Excited that so many kids participated, excited that they seem to have taken such care in writing and illustrating their books, and excited that, six weeks from now, we will be sending out a beautiful, professionally edited, designed, printed, and published book by a kid.
One of you kids out there.
We can’t think of anything better.
