The A Book A Day program, in partnership with Bindlestiff Books, is inviting young West Philly writers and illustrators (K-5) to take part in a competition titled “My Indoor Adventures.” Young writers are encouraged to express their thoughts and tell their community what they have been doing at home during the pandemic.

Submissions of illustrated texts, comics, and silent (wordless) books are welcome. Stories written in different languages (with accompanying translation) are also accepted.

The deadline for final submissions is May 27, 2020. For more information on how to submit your story, go here.

A Book a Day is a collaboration program between Penn Libraries and two public schools: the Penn Alexander and Henry C. Lea. The program donates newly published children’s books to their libraries. Since the beginning of the program’s work, it has been partnering with the neighborhood independent bookstore Bindlestiff Books. For this initiative, the finalists will be awarded books and gift cards to Bindlestiff Books, up to $125!
