Expected Outcomes for Schools and Participants
We encourage students to unleash their creativity by " telling stories." These stories are then transformed into children's books on-site.
In less than an hour, students will have a self-created book, with recognition given to them as authors and/or illustrators in the registered book.
Both students and teachers will be credited as creators, and physical copies of the book will be provided to the school for the participants.
The school can utilize the books created as fundraising tools and resources to help students explore their creativity and imagine themselves as authors.
Each student will receive one or more certificates documenting their participation in the process.
We offer students up to five subjects to choose from when creating their book. Alternatively, we can contract to create up to all five books for multiple classes.
