Madelyn's Ostrich


Madelyn submitted this picture she drew of an ostrich to the magazine Zoobooks.  Within the magazine there is an area that displays children's artwork of the animal that that particular issue is about.  They ask for children to send in their artwork or poems about animals for the next few issues ahead of time.  They use childrens' work to present on their website or within their magazine.  They selected Madelyn's artwork, along with several others, out of 800 kids for the ostrich issue.  They only printed a handful to put on that one page within the magazine.  Maddie didn't make that cut, but they put her ostrich on their website and gave her a year's subscription for Zoobooks.  

Way to go, Maddie!  We think this is really cool!

Madelyn, that ostrich is awesome! Congratulations on being selected for a prize! The face is my favorite part. I swear no matter which way I look at it the ostrich is staring right at me.
Keep drawing!
