However, it will take a considerable amount of patience on our part, and especially on the part of our customers while we are getting acclimated.

This is a remarkable book in that it’s the brainchild of a young lady who has not yet completed elementary school. With only minimal assistance and guidance from her family, she solicited sponsorship, edited and published this selection of poetry and short stories from area students.
Student authors range from 3rd to 12th grade and show a remarkable amount of ability and creativity. Even the cover photograph was taken by a young lady of 13. Our young editor says she wants to make this an annual publication, and judging from the results of her initial effort this should not be difficult to achieve.

Flanders, a long-time teacher at Rudyard High School and Lake Superior State University has had a number of stories, articles and essays published.

Proceeds from the book will be donated to the Rudyard Area Education Foundation, a group that Flanders and some of his former Rudyard teaching colleagues helped organize 3 years ago.
