The Daily News reports that students at Brooklyn’s Midwood High School wrote and illustrated about 100 original storybooks which they will send to a school in Zimbabwe this fall.

The books are part of a program dubbed the “Children’s Storybook Literacy Project,” which was started by teacher Maureen Cox started September with students who needed extra help with reading and writing. She soon expanded the program to include other students.

She was helping these students improve their literary skills. Sounds like it was a great ideas.
