Authors were interviewed and excerpts of the published stories were included. A notice also appeared in the school newsletter. [Note: Press releases were sent to the area newspapers of each published author and illustrator. If you do have a Grannie Annie article to share, please send it to us via an e-mail so we can post it.]

All three are students of the Greeley-Wolbach Public Schools. A similar article appeared on the same date in The Wolbach Messenger, which followed up in their next issue with photos of the three.

April 2009 Note to Storykeepers Congratulations, 2008/2009 storykeepers! What wonderful stories you have saved for your families. Our thanks to you for sharing them with The Grannie Annie, and we urge you to find other ways to share them as well. Again this year, stories came to us from all parts of the country. A special welcome to those of you who joined in our celebration for the first time this year, including the storykeepers from states we hadn’t heard from before: Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Virginia. In past years we received nearly the same number of stories from both age groups. This year we were surprised to receive twice as many middle school entries as elementary. You’ll see that difference reflected in the distribution of the 26 stories chosen for publication this year. Those story titles and author names are posted on our page titled “The Stories.” Illustrations chosen to accompany the stories will be announced later in April, after the book design is finalized. In May, authors of the published stories will receive two complimentary copies of Grannie Annie, Vol. 4. Journey back in time, even to another continent. Be educated or entertained — laugh, cry, find yourself on the edge of your seat. As always, the stories to be published in Grannie Annie, Vol. 4 are a treasure. Bring your Grannie Annie collection up to date by placing your order for Vol. 4 now. Or start your collection with a multi-volume set. You’re excited about The Grannie Annie and want to spread the word? We have a special low price for an order of 10 or more books.
