WRITING Visions of Light: A Christmas Story Piper C. Hawkins, 10 Grade 5 All Saints Montgomery, OH I’m 10 year old Piper Hawkins and I recently published a book called Visions of Light: A Christmas Story. I’m now in the 5th grade but I have always loved making homemade books – I have over 400 starting from the time I was 3 years old. In October of 2012, my mom and I went to Books by the Banks, a book festival at the Cincinnati Duke Energy Convention Center. There, I met famous author Barney Saltzberg. He inspired me so much and I figured if he could publish books, so could I, why not? I set a goal to write and publish a picture book by my 10th birthday and have my own spot at Books by the Banks. So I wrote lots of stories trying to come up with one to publish. Then, I wrote a book about a little girl who sees through Santa’s glasses which show the love and light in other people. The idea for the book came from a conversation that my mom and I had about bullies and terrorists. I said that if people could SEE how they treated each other, they couldn’t be so mean or nasty. I dreamt about how you could see something like that. I figured that you needed something magical – like Santa’s glasses and the story unfolded. For Good Media October of 2014 and I have done a lot of book signings, school talks, even TV and radio interviews! It’s been so much fun fulfilling my dream and we just heard that I was accepted to Books by the Banks for this year! GOAL ACHIEVED while I’m still 10 years old! Come meet me and our amazing Illustrator, Kathleen Streitenberger, on October 17th 10am – 4pm at the Cincinnati Duke Energy Convention Center where we’ll be signing copies of Visions of Light: A Christmas Story and will have a preview of the next book, The Puppy Tooth Fairy. In the meantime, keep writing, drawing, reading and DREAM BIG! www.readinspiredmag.org Express Yourself 13
