2018 PBS SoCal KIDS Writers Stories Turned Into Animations
Learn more about the PBS SoCal KIDS Writers Contest here.
What can we learn from a hungry hound, a flatulent sibling and an amazing flying bicycle? That children have healthy imaginations and a wealth of creativity. The proof is in 2018's PBS SoCal's KIDS Writers Contest winners.
The writing competition called upon local children to write and illustrate their original tales. In celebration of this new generation's talent, PBS SoCal staff turned a few of these precious illustrated stories into animated shorts.
Watch three animated stories below.
