When second-grader Joan (pronounced John) Diaz walked into The Den at the media center at Fair Street International Academy last week, his face quickly lit up with a big smile. He immediately tried to get the attention of friends sitting on the floor with him, pointing them toward the books on a table at the front of the room. He had just noticed his drawing of Lucille the Tiger had been chosen for the cover of the book on the table.
