Subs with Suitcases

Anne Phillips was asked to create a special project with sixth grade students at Bowman Middle School.  Students were paired with a first grade counterpart that they interviewed as the basis for the main character for their own children’s book.  After the interview, the sixth graders wrote a children’s book and then Anne helped with the illustration and book construction.  They cut cereal boxes to size for the front and back covers of the book.  Using a rice flour paste they wrapped the cereal board with muslin.  When it dried they painted the covers and used a Japanese stab binding method to assemble the books.
