Let the holiday shopping begin!

We have such wonderful talent in our region, and while there's nothing better books for holiday gifts, you can also support your fellow creators and dazzle your loved ones with unique handmade items made by our very own SCBWI-WWA colleagues:

Holiday cards and prints by Jaime Temairik

Green characters on organic T-shirts
