Anyone interested in Little Toot & Hardie Gramatsky needs to go to the Mazza
Museum in Findley, OH, where they have a replica of Gramatsky's studio,
including the window (complete with view) over his desk, and several bulging
notebooks of first drafts, notes, sketches, etc. Very interesting!

Watercolor Contest Celebrating Little Toot
Ask kids to create a watercolor picture of Little Toot
(this reflects the medium Hardie Gramatky used). Kids
can use watercolor paints/markers/crayons to create
their picture.
To enter, contestants must create an illustration
featuring a tugboat. Librarians will choose one entry
to submit in each of two age categories: 5 and under
and 6-10. Entries will be judged according to
originality and creativity. The final product must be
the child's own original work. One Grand Prize winner
and three runners-up will be chosen in each of the two
age categories: 5 and under and 6-10.
All entries must be submitted with:
Librarian's Name
Title
Organization Name
Address
City, State, Zip
Email
Phone number
Name and Age of child entering (first name only)
The libraries that are Grand Prize winners in each age
category will each receive a framed giclée print of an
illustration from the book, Little Toot, for the
library and a copy of the newly restored classic
edition of Little Toot, autographed by Linda Gramatky
Smith, to give to the child whose art has won. Three
libraries chosen as runners-up in each age category
will each receive two autographed copies of Little
Toot-one copy for the library and one copy for the
child whose work has won.
Deadline for entries is November 1st. All entries
must be sent in a .jpg format to
www.littletoot.org/contest.
Each participating library will receive an e-mail
message with a printable certificate that can be given
to all of the children who entered from the library.
Winners will be notified by November 8th. Winning
artwork will be posted at www.littletoot.org. By
accepting a prize, winning libraries grant web host,
Linda Gramatky Smith, the right to use the library's
name, show an image of the winning piece of art, and
list the first name and age of the artist who
submitted the entry for promotional purposes without
further compensation or permission.
