Project Description

Project Description

Hila is an illustrated activity book series of local adventures and personalized drawing experiences, for children ages 4 to 7. These books are designed to meet the developmental needs of this age group in order to promote creative growth. The first book, Aromatic A’s & Zingy Z’s, will feed the imagination! For daring eaters, artists and cooks—this book asks children to smell, feel, and taste new and familiar foods, then make drawings about them.
