Clara's Prayer
This charming hard-cover book was written and illustrated by 16-year-old Anna Zimmerman. Annas story was chosen as the overall winner of the Rainbow Resource Center 3rd Annual Summer Book Contest (2017). Her story centers around 12-year-old Jenny and her family. When the orphan train comes to town, their family adopts a new daughter, Clara. The story involves loss, anger and eventually friendship. We are so proud of her hard work! The story is lovely, and her artistic talent is outstanding! 7"x 9", 18 pgs, hc. ~ Sara
Story written by the winner of Rainbow Resource writing contest.
It began as a simple idea, create a summer contest for young authors using a product we sell, a make-your-own book kit from Lulu Jr.. The owners loved the idea and offered cash prizes! We decided there should be three age groups between 7 and 18 and came up with a theme and some rules. Every author who writes a story receives their own beautifully constructed book directly from Lulu Jr.. Here in the RRC office, we read a digital version of every story provided by Lulu Jr. and several judges score the entries. It is quite a process for us to read all of the entries during back-to-school season!
The summer book contest has grown and we have covered a
variety of literary genres and themes. One overall winner is selected each year
and Rainbow sells their book. That is who you see represented here. Sales
generate a royalty stream for the author and they own all rights to their
material. We hope you enjoy the quality writing and illustrating demonstrated
in these titles. ~Sara
