Jason Lefebvre, Author of "Too Much Glue"
Thanks to Craig Dunlap and the amazing 2nd grade students at Yealey Elementary School in Northern, KY for including Too Much Glue in their amazing student project! The students write their own book commercials and film them for use in the school. This project takes a long time, teaching them about persuasive writing, commercials, story elements, and all the tech pieces like Google Docs and filming and editing video. Flashlight Press learned about the project and wanted to help. They donated 5 books to the school, including Too Much Glue.
Enjoy what they have created! We are so lucky to be a part of this project.

"Sofia’s refrigerator at home is always filled with plenty of food. That’s why she’s surprised when she reaches into her friend Maddi’s fridge for a snack – and finds it virtually empty. Embarrassed by her family’s poverty, Maddi asks Sofia to keep it a secret. But Sofia knows she needs to do something – and her comical attempts finally lead to a helpful solution. Based on an experience author Lois Brandt had as a child, “Maddi’s Fridge” teaches kids to take a proactive approach when it comes to generosity and fighting childhood hunger." Check out this great video of Lois Brandt Author and Vin Vogel Illustration receiving their Christopher Award for Maddi's Fridge.
