Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out

In 2008 the NCBLA and Candlewick Press will publish a family read-aloud anthology of stories, essays, and poetry about the White House, its historic events, and the people who have lived and worked there. The book will include over fifty entries from authors and illustrators well-known to the children’s book community as well as from the adult world of journalism and books. Included are personal stories by people who have lived and worked in the White House, fictional accounts of historic events, and profiles of past leaders. A truly rich and exciting compendium, Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out will enlighten and entertain readers of all ages.

The NCBLA believes that literacy is essential to the development of a responsible citizenry in a democracy. The creation and publication of this exciting anthology is a profound literacy solution. The authors and illustrators of the NCBLA Board and their colleagues are donating their talents to the book. All proceeds from the book will support NCBLA projects and events. Verizon Information Services awarded the NCBLA a $20,000 grant to develop this project.
