For 'The Year of Reading in Great Britain' printed books by young people are all in this window. Several years ago Simpson School in Milton Keynes provided an empty classroom for an etching press and workshops with young people. This generous support (thanks to Linda Kilman) was something I followed seven years later in schools in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire with a portable printing press. More books came into being. Starting with creations by the youngest, 'Winnie the Pooh' is stuck down a rabbit hole after eating too much honey and is drawn a second time on the same page. Outside the bear continues to listen to a story, reading to keep him happy.
