After he finished writing and illustrating his first book, The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Crismis—which features an exploding tree, a time portal, Santa, and a giant turkey—8-year-old Dillon Helbig put homemade stickers on the spine and added it to the shelves of Ada (Idaho) Community Library’s Lake Hazel branch. ‘I’ve been wanting to put a book in the library since I was 5,’ he told local station KTVB-TV. His mom didn’t know about Dillon’s plan and called the library. “His parents were worried we would find his book and we would get rid of it,” said Alex Hartman, Lake Hazel branch manager. “Dillon’s book definitely fit all the criteria that we would look for to include a book in our collection.” The book has been added to the library’s holdings and now has a wait list.
