A huge thanks to everyone who entered this contest!  We wish we could have offered prizes to everyone — all the bookmarks were so beautiful. You can see the winners HERE!

 

 

 

It’s summer and time to get outside!  Our founder, Jo Hackl, has written an outdoor adventure, Smack Dab in the Middle of Maybe.  The book will be available on July 10. We’d love your help designing a bookmark to go along with it!

 

Design a bookmark illustrating one of the following: 

  • In Smack Dab in the Middle of Maybe, the main character is a girl nicknamed “Cricket”.  Cricket runs away to the woods to live in a tree house that she built with her father. Design the bookmark featuring their tree house. 
  • Cricket follows clues to find a room with birds painted on every wall. One of the birds is a scarlet tanager. Design the bookmark with one or more scarlet tanagers. 
  • Cricket’s best friend on her adventure is a cricket named Charlene. Create a bookmark featuring Charlene.
