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.
