My book is filled with what I want to be when I grow up, such as a dentist, singer, and more. This was a lot of fun for me, because I got to write/draw about my future job. But I had trouble getting more exciting ideas for each page.

New Leaves - The Fantasy Land
By Hari, age 12.
My theme of my book is fantasy. The toughest challenge was to make the airplane dock. I loved making this.

New Leaves - Family Love
By Chaerin, age 10.
My book shows all about family. When I was making my book, our helper Angela helped us think of what to do. And after 9 weeks, I finished my masterpiece. But there was still trouble on my journey, like when I couldn't glue my paper on or it was too hard to draw something, but I solved my problems by not doing it. It was a great idea.
PS- Don't ever give up, like me.
PSS- BYE!

New Leaves - I Dream
By Tracy, age 12.
My book tells about a mouse dream. He goes to New York City, to Africa, to so many places. In this trip, he made many friends.

New Leaves - The Mysteric Book
By Arshad, age 10.
In my book, the theme was mystery. The painting went pretty good and it was fun to do. The pop-ups didn't go so well, and it was not fun. That is why I only did one. So over all, I painted the outside, and also painted the inside.

New Leaves - Themes
For the last few weeks, we've been working on single sheets of paper, but this week we each selected the book that we'll be working on for the rest of the session. After picking our books, we drew themes - things like "mystery" or "my future job" to help us along. Once we had our themes, we sat down to work on a two-page spread.
Here's Tracy's:
Her theme is "dreams."
More later!

New Leaves - Page Poems
Well, we had our first session of New Leaves, our altered books program at Tredyffrin Library. On the first day, we tried our hands at page poems, taking a single page from a book and isolating single words to create a poem. Here are two examples from Tuesday, thanks to Arshad and Hari, respectively:
Next week, we'll branch out a bit and try our hands at collage...
New Leaves is open to 5th and 6th graders and is held Tuesday afternoons from 4:30-5:15pm. No registration necessary; just walk right in!
