"The
Biloxi Alphabet Book," a book that has been
written and illustrated by CREATE students
at Gorenflo Elementary School will make
history: It will be the first book to go
into the new Biloxi Public Library when it
opens later this year.
Mayor A.J. Holloway made the announcement
this week after Ginger Anderson's students
presented him a copy during a visit to the
Back Bay school.
"The Biloxi Alphabet Book" was a
semester-long project in which students
"researched their town and then created
illustrations for each letter of the
alphabet based on the sites, businesses, and
happenings in Biloxi," Anderson said. "They
also wrote poetry to go with their
illustrations. It has really turned out to
be a beautiful book."
