For her Middle Years Program project, sophomore Christine Sullivan produced a picture book.

Sullivan created a children’s picture book and it’s area of interaction was human ingenuity Sullivan took roughly a month to produce the final product with support from her supervisor and English teacher.

“Christine worked very hard on it and it looked really well when she put it all together,” English teacher Lea Civiello said. “I loved it. That was the most adorable project, ever.”

Sullivan was first encouraged by her younger siblings to create a picture book for her MYP project.

“I read books to my little siblings all the time,” Sullivan said. “I was curious as to why we love the books that we love.”

As she progressed on creating her project, Sullivan learned parts of the process on how a children’s book is created.

“This project benefited me because I learned a lot on how children’s books are written and illustrated,” Sullivan said. “The book itself is beneficial to kids who are learning how to read. I even gave a copy of the book to a night school teacher here and she is using it to teach.”

Math teacher and supervisor Anthony Sharp was impressed with Sullivan’s work and gave Sullivan a high grade for her efforts.

“I think her project is awesome,” Sharp said. “I saw all the drawings that she did to come up with the characters and how they would look and how they would respond to the issues that they had.”

Finished with her MYP project, Sullivan is happy with the outcome.

“I am very satisfied with my project,” Sullivan said. “I think it could be a little bit neater overall but it turned out well.”

Sullivan’s supervisor is also satisfied with her work.

“Her final product was beautiful,” Sharp said. “If my kids were little kids, I would definitely buy Christine’s book.”
