We had some excellent volunteers book makers come and make/build our hardcovers for ALL of our A Winnipeg Day books! They look fabulous!! Today, students designed their own front covers to complete the hardcovers.
We studied other book covers we loved. We noticed what was important. We made a list of all the qualities a good front cover has:
Wow!!!
Students then began working on their own covers. I don’t want to show too much, but here is a quick sneak peak!!!
All of the students are so invested in these books. They have become real authors and illustrators. Next week we will be meeting a 12 year old boy who recently wrote a book and did a book launch at McNally. He’s going to give us some good tips on how to have a successful book launch.
A Winnipeg Day. Coming very, VERY soon.
P.S. John from McNally(events coordinator) if you are reading our blog…. we really want to have our book launch with you!!
They look great!!! You all should be proud of what you have done!!
I can’t wait to see the finished products!
Looking forward to seeing all the finished books!
