Description

During the school year 2000 – 2001, Author/Illustrator Debby Atwell came to Peaks Island School for a week, working with the students to make a book of short stories. There were four classes that year, Kindergarten, Grades 1-2, Grades 3-4 and Grade 5. Each class created its own story in an unusual arrangement where the class collaborated on the story, with each student getting to write a page, but another child would illustrate that text. When the work was complete, Debby Atwell took it home and bound the stories into a single volume with handmade-paper-covered board covers.
