Comme à chaque année, le centre d’achat local, le Capitola Mall est l’hôte d’une importante foire: le Student Authors’ Fair. Financé par l’association de la lecture de Santa Cruz et de la COE de Santa Cruz, la foire encourage les étudiants à écrire et illustrer leur propres livres.
Le but de cette foire n’est pas de juger ou bannir des livres. Chaque livre qui est exposé à la foire reçoit un certificat. Je peux certifier que chaque livre est un labeur d’amour et prends plusieurs semaines pour les élèves à terminer. Donc, hier, je suis allée à cet évènement en famille. André avait fait une courte histoire d’un méchant qui a fini par être puni (serait-ce un ex-financier de Enron?) tandis que Savannah avait écrit un charmant recueil de poèmes.
Un évènement qui a embellit mon weekend!

Like every year, our local shopping mall, the Capitola Mall is the host of an important fair: the Student Authors’ Fair. Sponsored by the Santa Cruz Reading Association and the Santa Cruz COE, the fair encourages students to write and illustrate their own books.
The fair’s goal is not to judge or censor any book. Every book entered receives an Award Certificate. I can certify that each book is a labor of love and take several weeks to be completed by the students. So, yesterday, I went to the event with the family. Andre had a short story about a bad guy who ends up being punish (sounds like an Enron executive fairy tale!) while Savannah wrote a series of charming poems.
An event that brighten my weekend!
