“Phoebe and the Armadillo,” a book written by last year’s fourth-grade students at Wadsworth Elementary School, is now published and available for purchase.

The book is the sequel to a book written by Wadsworth Elementary School Principal Robin DuPont.

The character education book is about a kitten that keeps misunderstanding situations. The sequel explores the theme of friendship and the conflicts they encounter along the way. “When we were writing it, the whole class was just really excited that we were gonna get a book published,” said Dalton Rice.

The book will be sold as a fundraiser for the school’s panther project.

The project is being created by renowned local artist Paul Baliker, and is expected to be completed by the end of the month.

To purchase a book, call the school at 446-6720.
