Matt and His Hats Author:Seth Greenberg Matt and His Hats is an uplifting and heartwarming story about friendship and values. Written in 1999, when I was in fifth grade, my teacher remarked, "Seth - An outstanding picture book - a terrific, fun story with a great message. And your illustrations are superb. Bravo! A++." Colorfully illustrated and easy to read, this book will be en... more »joyed by both parents and children. In my fifth grade English class, I learned the process of writing a children's book, including story development, illustration, and layout. Matt and His Hats was born. I felt a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment when I completed my book. Encouraged by my teacher, parents, and friends, I tried to publish my book without success. Realizing that writing a children's book can help develop interest in reading and writing at a young age, I created Kid's Books By Kids, a program that annually selects one child to become a published author. Every year, each participating elementary school in Westchester and Long Island will choose the two most outstanding books written by its students. A volunteer panel of parents, teachers, and authors will decide the book to be published. The book can be purchased at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, and Authorhouse.com.
