The first book I am going to be talking about is The Last Cuentista which is about a girl who evacuates earth and has to escape the people on her ship who want to erase all memories of earth. The book was about the importance of keeping stories you have from the past. I think this message is really important because stories from the past can teach you things, and help you deal with problems better in the future.

The next thing I am going to be talking about is the ideal world project we did. I have already made a blog post on that where you can read my whole ideal
world but I am just going to touch on the process of making it. When my teacher first told me we would be doing an ideal world, I was ecstatic because I had already designed one. Or well, just one town of one. It was really fun, designing my dream economic system and people and geography.

The next thing I am going to talk about is making a book. The first thing we had to do was start printing and coloring floral patterns onto paper. The only thing I wished I had done was make more and different colors, only because I didn’t fully realize what the purpose of that was.  The next thing we did was fold and cut out our books so that we could have a foldout design in our books. I also wrote a story about how I got my name, and added it in the back of my book. In my inside scene, I added all my floral prints and collages them inside. My ideal world was supposed to be the scene inside it. My name story takes place in New York so around my collage I added the skyline of New York.

These are all the book projects I have done so far this year. I think they were all really fun, and I hope you decide to try out one of these too!
