This year, ICS had Ian Whybrow, author of Sammy and the Dinosaurs (a favorite book of ours), and Korky Paul, illustrator of the Winnie the Witch books (more favorites of ours) come for a week to work with the kids. Together, with Ian and Korky, each primary school child wrote a story and illustrated it. All these stories have been published in a book, which we received yesterday -- and thought was pretty cool.
Today, I got a copy of the cover and dedication of Ian's new book. I guess our little Abbie and her group of friends made quite an impression on the author, because he has dedicated his book Meerkat Madness to them!
"For Judith Bows, Library Supremo, and all the children of ICS, Zurich and especially for Abbie, Lara, and Caroline, who asked me to do an adventure story for them; for Nilou who likes yellow, Esther who likes dark blue and Maria and Malti who prefer purple."

Can't wait to red Abbie's adventure story and see the book and dedication.

Very cool! The kids are so lucky to experience living abroad and getting educated at ICS.
