This uniquely wonderful site provides students the opportunity to write digital poems, picture books and long-form books using illustrations from real artists. Students search any word or theme to find a drawing they find appealing. They move to a page to create their story which includes their original selection and all related images from the artist. They drag and drop the images they like to create a picture book using as many pages as they need. Next, they can customize the title and save the book to their account. Students working from home can choose to share their book with others, including giving an invitation to contribute to the book. Students also can choose to explore and read and comment on the stories of others. Students working from a classroom account, are protected so that their finished stories can be viewed by their classmates. Overall, an effective way to encourage students to write by providing them with professional illustrations for their inspiration.
