About Our ProcessThe primary aged students at the Rosehill Enhanced Learning Center began our Literature Festival Mini-
Course in January. We read as many of the books you wrote or illustrated as
we could. While we read, we jotted down a few important things in the book that started with the various
letters of the alphabet. After looking at some other alphabet books, we
decided on the format you see. Next we signed up for the letters we wanted to write and illustrate. We tried to use unpredictable ideas for the text. We hope you don’t mind that we tried to draw a little bit like your books. We
even attempted some watercolor. It is much harder than we thought it would
be. Right before Spring Break, we finished our final drafts so we could
give this book this book to you today.We hope you like it.
P.S. We also have a special trick for you: look for our names hidden in
each illustration!
