Come visit and post to the CCF message board! One of the forums, hosted by children's author Hazel Krantz, is for adoptive parents. We've received wonderful book reviews sent by CCF Reporters and would love to get many more! Let kids, parents, teachers and librarians know about this opportunity for children of all ages to post their reviews online. We've posted Scholarships available to Hispanic students, news on the upcoming RMC-SCBWI Summer Retreat and new ways of looking and understanding Weight Loss & Our Body's Biochemistry.
