The publication Voices of Hope, Children’s Dreams and Wishes for the World is an idea created from a kindergarten class auction project. As the parent of one of those kindergarteners, I was inspired to take the idea another step and make a book with dreams and wishes for the world from children all over the United States.
This is such an exciting time in history and our children are the architects of the future. Giving our children the opportunity to mark this moment in time with their words of wisdom and art is an extremely powerful thing!
We are asking for submissions of art work and statements, haikus, essays of 100 words or less from children starting at the age they can draw and articulate their wish up to 18 years of age. Their artwork and words will be put together in a publication(s). There will be a hardbound book produced with entries selected by the publisher, which represent the essence of all the entries. As well, all entries will be published in spiral bound books.
A copy of all of the publications, both hardbound and spiral bound, will be presented as a gift to the new President of the United States. Books will be available for purchase in early 2009. Support this project today by pre-ordering a limited edition hardbound book to guarantee your copy at a special price.
We at Something Joyful Productions are honored and eager to see all the fantastic ideas coming from children all over the United States. In addition, a percentage of the profits from the sale of this book will go to a designated charity that helps children around the globe.
Thank you,
Beth Deyo
