In this workshop, participants will create 3 dos-à-dos books to use with different grade and skill levels as well as engage in methods on the use of this book in the classroom.

Books are honored, showcased, and celebrated! Instructors: Cheryl Ball & C.K.Itamura Co-founders of Book Arts Roadshow (Registration details are available here.)
