In November, the 25th annual Whitworth Writing Rally featured award-winning children's author/illustrator David Shannon, whose books include Duck on a Bike, A Bad Case of Stripes and The Rain Came Down. Shannon has also designed numerous book jackets, and his illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone and Time. More than 600 students from the Inland Northwest participated in the rally this year. The event is a family literacy initiative for students in pre-school through 6th grade; it provides an opportunity for children to develop their reading and writing skills with help from a professional author and trained educators.
