Children's Health Books

Introduction and goals

We are editing and updating the storybooks from Child-to-child to be more teacher-friendly and in a format that's better distributed on the XO and other laptops (the current books are printed out of order as they're made to be printed out and folded into booklets).

How to help

For each book, we need to...

1. Convert the pdf to a text-editable wikipage (one subsection per page)
2. Reorder the pages so that they're in sequence
3. Edit the book
   1. Edit the text of the book's story
   2. Edit the teacher's notes and expand into a full classroom activity
4. Create (or recover) illustrations for various pages of the stories and link to them at the top of the subsection of the corresponding page
5. Reprint the page as an attractive PDF (automatically if possible) or another format that's made for easy reading on the XO

When all books are complete, we should make them into a content bundle.
