What an incredible year it’s been at The CCC Project! We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with many of our heroes and elevating the voices of our young authors like never before. As we wrap up 2024, I’m thrilled to share not one, but two exciting announcements!
The San Mateo Public Library acquired FOUR of our new books, and they’re now available for check out!
Grab your SMCL library card and head to the main branch in downtown San Mateo to check out William’s, Millie’s, Amruth’s, and Zoe’s beautiful new books—if you can find them! Click on the book cover to check their availability. These books have been incredibly popular since hitting the shelves!
And if that wasn’t enough…
William Abdey’s Of Toast and Trebuchets featured as “Book of the Week” at the brand new International Library of Youth Writing in San Francisco!
This month, bestselling author Dave Eggers opened the International Library of Youth Writing in San Francisco's Mission District. Housed at McSweeney's headquarters on Valencia Street, the library is dedicated exclusively to books authored by young writers aged 6 to 18 from around the globe.
If you're in the area, stop by, sink into one of the cozy couches, and dive into a rollicking tale of toast toppings, Tasmanian Devils, and medieval weaponry!
Congratulations, William—we couldn't be prouder!
A heartfelt thank you to all our collaborators who have helped amplify the voices of our young authors this year. None of this would be possible without your incredible support. A special shout out to Maya Sissoko of Whole Child Education, Amy Lange at SFMoMA, New York Times bestselling author Brad Montague, Donna and Kurt Calia, the Abdey family, the Lynch family, Jim and Diane Arnone, Kim Anno at Wild Projects, all 47 of Zoe’s Kickstarter backers, Aer Parris and the team at Blurb, Madison Reese at San Mateo Public Library, Jade Howe at the International Library of Youth Writing, and of course, the heroically supportive parents of all of our members. Your partnership in our mission humbles and inspires us.
Highlights of 2024!
From all of us at The CCC Project, we wish you a joyous holiday season!
