2013 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Liz will publish the Cleverly Listenbee Adventure Series (CLAS), a literary project that will engage students from low income, academically low performing areas of Philadelphia to create multiple plot lines for a choose-your-own-adventure children’s book trilogy that draws on African American folkloric themes.  The trilogy will feature a young fearless heroine, Cleverly Listenbee, whose supernatural gifts enable her to heal and resolve real-world issues.  By exploring social concerns that personally affect their lives, students will have the opportunity to determine the characters that Cleverly meets, the worldly problems she resolves, and the lessons she learns.
