This is the 10th year that The Contemporary Jewish Museum (The CJM) has partnered with SFUSD, the SFPL, and the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation to promote the art and craft of bookmaking in the classroom. The project invites SFUSD students in grades K-12--led by their teachers--to write, illustrate, and put together original books. Books are to be submitted to The CJM by March 1, 2022; winning authors and their books will be celebrated at an awards ceremony that will take place at the museum on April 10, 2022.

I encourage you to share this information with SFUSD visual arts teachers and other classroom teachers who you think might be interested.  I am also available to talk further with anyone on your team or with teachers at sites who might be interested in planning their projects.  For more information please contact:
