A Movement,
Not Just an Event

The "Lit'l Authors Book Making Workshop" is a movement to inspire elementary students to not only read with confidence, but to discover their own voices as authors. This immersive experience builds literacy, character, and creativity — empowering children to realize that while reading well is essential, writing their own stories is transformative. Reading and WRITING is the hallmark of literacy!

Be part of the first-ever Children's Book Making Event at the Obama Presidential Center (OPC). This is more than a workshop — it is a historic moment in children's literacy, and every participant becomes part of that story.

Make History
While Having
Fun

Children ages 8–11 are invited to spend a transformative afternoon at one of America's most iconic venues — creating their very own book, exploring their voice as authors, and leaving with memories (and gifts) they will treasure for a lifetime.

Participation is limited and first come, first served. Partner registration closes June 17, 2026.
