CALLING ALL YOUNG AUTHORS!

“Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high
Take a look, it's in a book - Reading Rainbow.”

These lyrics from the theme song of the long-running PBS program Reading Rainbow are bright reminders of the joy of reading to millions of us who have watched the program over the years.

The 15th Annual Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators contest is coming. Kindergarten- through third-grade students all around Greater Cincinnati will begin composing and drawing, editing and coloring. Their original creations will be judged locally by a panel of school librarians, public library children’s librarians and primary grade teachers. The winning story at each grade level will then be forwarded for judging at the national level. More information about the contest, including downloadable rules and entry forms, are available. The 15th Annual Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators contest is sponsored locally by The Wohlgemuth Herschede Foundation. Watch Time Warner Cable channel 17 at 12:30pm each weekday for Reading Rainbow.
