One Book Series - Ramona Library meets Zentangle

What is One Book, One San Diego?

In its 12^th year, One Book, One San Diego is a community reading program. It is a partnership between KPBS (link is external), San Diego Public Library, and the San Diego County Library (link is external), and a long list of other community partners found below. The purpose of the program is to bring together our community and encourage residents to join together in the shared experience of reading and discussing the same book. The program also encourages participation in related events, discussions of the ideas raised in the featured books, and examination of how these ideas connect with our daily lives and local communities.

• Age Range: 10 - 12 years
• Grade Level: 5 - 7

Using a copied book page out of the Crossover, the teens created a string with the Zentangle Method, then applied "tangles" (that's what we call the patterns).

Verse:

Basketball rule #3

"never let anyone

lower your goals.

Others' expectations
of you are determined

by their limitations

of life.

The sky is our limit, sons.

Always shoot 

for the sun

and you will shine.

Tangles used:  Rainking, Betweed, Kuke, Henna Drum, Printemps, 'nzepple
