Every Child An Author We would like to congratulate our third grade illustrator/artist Melody F., the winner of the cover design contest (see image below) and the six runners-up who also have their illustrations featured inside Tales from the Heart. We'd also like to thank StarTex Community Champions who underwrites the cost of a free copy of the book for every third grader. This year’s compositions included poems, letters and essays about a special person in each child’s life. Great job, students!
