My kids have always enjoyed making books. They make picture books and handwritten books and poems and short stories and book series. Staley wrote a chapter book several years ago, and Zach got it formatted and bound into a "published" book. Adelie had been working on a chapter book of her own. She finally finished it, so Zach spent some time formatting it so that it could be sent away for publishing too.
Adelie is officially a published author.
Adelie ordered a few copies of her book to give to family and friends. But she also wanted to give one to our local library. Miss Angela was very excited to add Adelie's book to the library's collection. She catalogued it, made a nice display, and sent me a picture of the first person to check out Adelie's book (which happened to be a friend of Adelie's).
It's pretty exciting having another published author in the house.
