Our First Story Quilt – READ THE FINISHED PRODUCT (which set Internet Records!)

One of the many people behind the scenes here suggested that we might be missing a great opportunity if we don’t soon ask the visitors of our site — and boy were we suprised to find out how many of you there are! — to actually get involved in a way tha makes the site something you help create.

I asked this consultant to be more specific and they said that today the internet is a participatory culture. People use it to shop and find information, of course, but more and more they use it to produce, to create. Through blogs and music and video, more of us are out there creating rather than consuming. The playing field is tilting.

To that end, they suggested we create, with you, the Farmers Almanac TV Children’s Book, one story at a time. Perhaps these stories can eventually be filmed for the television program, who knows.
