The Florida Center for the Literary Arts and ArtCenter/South Florida present a family literary project that promotes entertaining and interactive reading opportunities for young children and their parents or guardians.

Throughout the four-session program, children will have the opportunity to interpret and illustrate a story by creating a picture book that features their own words and images.

Participation is limited to 15 pairs (parent/guardian and child age 3 to 7)

For more information, call ArtCenter/South Florida at 305.674.8278.
