Held annually, this celebration empowers students to unleash their creativity, express their ideas, and find their voices through storytelling and digital publishing.
Hosted by Book Creator, this incredible event highlights the power of student narratives and literacy, turning classrooms, libraries, and school communities into vibrant spaces for creativity, self-expression, and fun!
This year’s theme, Tell Your Story, inspires students to embrace their unique voices, share their perspectives, and celebrate the power of personal storytelling. Through writing, images, and multimedia, they’ll embark on a creative journey to craft meaningful content that reflects their identities and experiences.
I’m excited to share the theme and explore what Be An Author Month will mean for our students as they tell their stories. They thrive on creating and sharing, especially when their stories are personal and uniquely their own. Through this event, we can use Book Creator to nurture every child's literacy skills and creativity, providing them with a platform to share something meaningful—not just with friends and family, but potentially with the world.
Throughout Be An Author Month, I can't wait to inspire creativity within all of our students as they share unique and personal experiences through the story they create. They will use Book Creator to write, find and create images, choose multimedia, and publish their wonderful stories.
Here is how you and your students can be part of this special event too!

Also on the Be An Author Month site, you will find lots of resources to support this project and the month on March. As I get ready for Be An Author Month at my school, I think about special moments this year with Book Creator.
Last week, one of our kindergarteners wrote this in his book about polar animals,
I am Maxwell.
I am 6 years old.
I'm a kid.
You can see what creating a book in Book Creator meant to him.
As shared on the site,
Be An Author Month is dedicated to inspire every student to embrace their creativity, articulate their thoughts, and harness the strength of their voice.
Now, think about your kids. I know they will love to be an author and share their story like Maxwell too.
You can learn how to get Book Creator for your school here.
Join me and our students for Be An Author Month 2025. It's going to be such a wonderful event.
