The Children's Literature Council of Southern California
is proud to be a partner and Level 1 sponsor of the California Center for the Book's Letters About Literature Contest.

"The California Center for the Book is a reading promotion agency that celebrates California's rich literary heritage and promotes reading, libraries, literacy, and authorship.

Letters About Literature is an annual, national reading-and-writing contest that invites students to write a letter to an author, living or dead, explaining how this author's book gave them wings, became a part of their lives, or changed their way of viewing the world and themselves. Research has shown that children who read, write better; and children who write, read more. This reading-writing link is at the heart of Letters About Literature."
