Efforts by a Cedarville Elementary School teacher to build confidence in her first graders culminated with a prize in a nationwide contest rewarding student-authored books.
Studentreasures Publishing honored “Super Special Me!” by Karen Augustine s class as a Top 50 book in the 2020-21 National Book Challenge, according to a news release.
The contest was open to more than 60,290 books submitted to Studentreasures for free publishing this past academic year, the release said. Finalists were selected based on originality, storyline and illustrations.
