Join iWRITE and The Bryan Museum for an evening that you will never forget! There’s nothing like seeing first-hand how your sponsorship makes a difference in a child’s life. When 1,000 young authors and illustrators come together to autograph their hot-off-the-press, I Am Texas book, and pose for pictures next to the 7-foot-tall book, you know history has been made. This year’s theme inspired our next generation to share their love for Texas through stories, poetry, and artwork. We invite you to join us at this year’s Book Signing, Art Auction, and Gala as we come together to break a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Largest Published Book in the World (by kids)
