This collaborative story-telling project immersed its participants in writing, art, and voice acting. Over the course of two months, students worked together to write, design, and produce an amazing, absolutely original book-and-CD set. The kids involved had tons of fun, learned about collaborating on creative projects, and ended up with a professional-grade publication (the disc + book). Each participant received his or her own personal copy of the project at a listening/launch party for family, friends, and the community on May 14. This program was absolutely free to participants.
