S is for Sleeping Bear Press
Sleeping Bear Press' authors and illustrators visited more than 600 schools and libraries in 2002. At Sleeping Bear Press, we know how important it is for children to meet and work first-hand with artists and writers. This hands-on experience leaves a lasting, invaluable impression, since children are able to meet the artists who created the books they read and enjoy.

I is for Interested
