[LM_NET] book making family night request suggestions

[librarychickie <yasumani@VERIZON.NET>]

This past summer I took a book arts course.  It focused on the art of the book not 
the writing or even necessarily illustrating of the story, rather creating 
decorative, covers, endpapers, different formats, etc.
   
  I thought it would be cool where a student (we are a k-8 school) could come with 
his or her parents and a story to then create a book.  Using laptops for wp and art 
supplies.  I thought to have older more proficient students and maybe teachers on 
hand to help with editing process etc.
   
  I realize what I envision would almost if not in fact be impossible to do in one 
night.  
   
  Have any of you had such an event?  Do you have suggestions on either simplifying 
the process so it could be done in a night or holding sessions over time?  Any 
thoughtful suggestions would be appreciated.
   
  Thanks Kristina Fallon
