Two 8th grade English classes at Shiun Junior High School
in Takamatsu, Japan are looking for Elementary Students
(4th or 5th grade) to give gifts of Hand-Made picture
books of Japanese fairy tales.

There are two classes (25 students each) collaborating on
8 picture books in English with hand-drawn illustrations.
The students would very much like to give the finished
products to classes of children in the United States,
Australia, Canada, or Great Britain.

Ideally, we would like to recieve some home-made books in
return (of stories from your own country)... though the
students are not expecting anything in return (if we can
recieve them we'd like it to be a surprise!)

Elementary classes, Girl Scout troops, clubs, church
groups etc are all welcome to participate... but the
students, though 13 and 14 years old, are not confident in
their English abilities and would like to work with
younger students.

If you are interested, please reply with details about
your school or youth group!

Thank you very much.
