If you have a budding artist in your household, it’s time to dig out the crayons to take part in an exciting new project. The Natasha’s Wood Foundation is looking for Canadian children and youth to submit illustrations to four children’s books. These picture books are written by Fay Maddison, founder of the Natasha’s Wood Foundation, especially with early readers and military families in mind. These inventive stories feature a magical forest, fairies, uni- corns and dragons – a whole imaginative world just waiting for children and youth to bring it to life. “Created, designed and written for those that love bed- time stories, magical lands and the joy of discovering new friends, these picture books will bring a message of hope, love and friendship to all,” says Maddison. “We are inviting youth to influence the look, feel, and sound of learning from the world of Natasha’s Wood.” The Natasha’s Wood Foundation will kick-off the children’s art campaign on March 5 with a feature on The Zone on YTV. Canadian children up to the age of 18 will be invited to read the text for the children’s books at www. natashaswoodfoundation.com and submit a copy of their illustrations online or by mail.
