Bookmaking With Kids

Part of a series of posts about the professional-development workshops in our Summer Camp 2009.

Can pre-Ks and kindergartners make books? Little wiggly kids just learning the alphabet? Absolutely! Participants will discover age-appropriate books about the butterfly life cycle; books about color recognition; All About Me Books; Necklace Books; Baggie Books; counting books; barn-shaped books with stable doors that open; books about feelings with fingerprint faces; books about opposites, and more. Suggested for teachers of kids in preschool through Grade 1.

This workshop takes place on Thursday June 25th from 1:30–5:30 p.m. in Meeting Room B at the Redwood Shores Public Library.

Instructor Leigh McLellan works in many facets of the book arts, including book and graphic design, letterpress printing, bookbinding, paper decora-
tion and typography. A long-time teacher at the San Francisco Center for the Book, Leigh’s work is widely exhibited and collected. You can see some of her books, broadsides and decorative papers on her web site.
