WEYBURN - Weyburn student Emily Schick, age 7, submitted a short story to DC Canada’s 2024 Children’s Story Writing Contest for their yearly anthology called “A Story A Day by Kids for Kids Collection”.
She was not selected as a prize winner but was selected as a runner up. Her story will be illustrated by a professional and published in the anthology.
“My story is called ‘The day the snow got in the house’. It’s about a family who wakes up and finds snow all over the house. They build a snowman in the house,” said Emily of her story.
“I’m proud that my work is being published and I can’t wait to see it in the book. I’m most looking forward to reading it and seeing the pictures of my story,” she added.
This is the same contest that her sister Madisyn won in 2022. The girls are the daughters of Mason and Megan Schick of Weyburn.
The third iteration of our writing contest was an enormous success! With 557 submissions from kids across the country, our wonderful team of judges had a lot to consider.
This contest is brought to you by the One Story A Day collection. One Story A Day contains a total of 365 stories — one for each day of the year — separated into 12 books, each representing one month of the year.The stories foster children’s total development — linguistic, intellectual, social, and cultural — through a love of literature.
