Post from Amy Cunningham Brock about The Griffin:

"My daughter watched her older brother work on his high school literary magazine this year and asked me to help her start one for younger students. Of course I said yes, knowing it would encourage her desire to create written and art work. It is also a wonderful opportunity for other homeschooling students around the world.

She and I have been working on it together. I am so proud of her effort and input into the magazine. She really worked hard... and she's only in 5th grade! Please share & encourage your kids to submit their creative works.
