  Congratulations to the 8 winners from Little Wonders Learning Center! 

Some of the children entered in the 2nd Annual Houston Public Library Children's Book Celebration Contest for illustrating for the caption, "If You Give a Kid a Book".  Fifty winners were rewarded with a whimsical catered lunch, and an autographed copy of Laura Numeroff's book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

All of the winning illustrations were displayed in the lunch area.....
