Each artist must draw two pictures: one of the cover of the book,
and another picture of the page of the book that inspires them the most.
Artists must also answer 3 questions:
1. Name two amazing things about Nellie
Bly.
b. Why do you think they were amazing?
c. Think about one amazing thing
you'd like to do in your life.
Describe what
it is, and why you'd want to do it.
Of course, you have to read the book
to be able to answer the questions! Special hint:
Have your teacher or parent read
the special Note to Parents and Teachers,
to find out more details about Nellie Bly, and her amazing accomplishments!
The
Special Message of If Nellie Bly Could Do It...
The message of the book is the message
of Amazing Kids!:
|
YOU CAN BE AN AMAZING
KID TOO!
|
It's no secret...every person has
the potential to be amazing in their own way. Sometimes we just need
a little help in finding out what our special talents are!
If you know someone who needs a little
encouragement, why not tell them what you think is special about them?
Maybe you can be the one to help them uncover their own special
talents! And please help Amazing Kids! spread the word:
It's
"cool" to be an Amazing Kid!
