Young Authors and Illustrators (section 2) started their research of @florence__mass today with Kim, an educator with @davidrugglescenter. We are so appreciative of the rich history of our community and the caring people in the community that add to its richness today. ❤️💜🌈

Big love also to @high_five_books for hosting our camp again this week!

These scientists did a test run of our cyanotype paper before The Science of Sparkle camp starts tomorrow. A perfect science activity on a sunny day! And it made our 80’d and 90’s mama hearts smile. ☀️💜🙌

Your child worked hard this year. 📚
Don`t let summer quietly undo it.

The summer slide is real — but so is the fix. One-on-one tutoring with a certified teacher keeps skills sharp, confidence high, and your child walking into September ready to soar. 💛

All grades. All subjects. All summer long.

This week a group of young authors walked into our Young Authors & Illustrators camp with blank pages and big ideas. 📚
They walked out with finished books. Real, handmade, hand-dyed, researched, written, and illustrated books that are entirely and completely their own.
.
Here is everything that went into making that happen:
📚 Big vocabulary. Big ideas. Big questions about the place we call home.
🧵 Hand-dyed silk endpapers — one of a kind, just like the authors who made them.
🏛️ A historical walking tour of Florence with Kim from the David Ruggles Center.
📖 Research skills from the librarians at Lilly Library.
✒️ One-on-one writing consultations and a visit from one incredible guest author, MK Smith Deprés.
🐛 A visit from local silkworm expert Faith Deering through our partnership with Grow Food Northampton.
📚 And then — the writing. The illustrating. The editing. The finishing.
.
.
We are so grateful to every partner who poured into this week and into these young authors:
💛 Kim & the David Ruggles Center
💛 The team at Lilly Library
💛 MK Smith Deprés
💛 High Five Books
💛 Faith Deering & Grow Food Northampton
.
And most of all — thank you to our extraordinary young authors. You showed up every single day with curiosity, creativity, and courage. We cannot wait to see your books at the Florence Farmers’ Market on August 26 — and on the shelves at Lilly Library after that.
The world needs your stories. 📚
