Making books encourages literacy and creativity and builds bridges across the generations. There is something both calming and energizing about making our own books with our own hands. As we fill our simple books with content, we can tell our stories, express our feelings, and work on subject matter across the curriculum. Using recycled materials is good for the planet and teaches us to see things not just for what they are, but for what they can become. I've been making books in schools, libraries, and with my family for twenty years. My primary goal is always to make it easy and fun. It is my pleasure and delight to share what I have learned and bring the joy of making books to you.
