This week, she held a book reading at the Sutter County Library with the help of the Sutter County Children and Families Commission, which is promoting the book.
"My mom opened the thing and it said 'state winner Josephine Slattery,' and I was so excited," Josephine said.
"She kind of went off and did her own thing, and she had whipped it out within like two hours," Said Chelsey Slattery, Josephine's mother. "So I think going on that harvester ride really inspired her."
Josephine's story in the book is called "The Little Farm Dog." It's based on a true experience on her uncle's farm.
The young author was even invited to the California State Capitol to share her story there and meet the other winners.
Chelsey Slattery is an advocate for farm-to-school programs, working for the Yuba City Unified School District's nutrition services department. She says her daughter being able to engage with her uncle, a real farmer, allowed her to ask questions, which stimulated further curiosity — something she encourages other students to pursue.
Josephine was happy to share her story with the community, even giving out some signed books to her fans.
The book was illustrated by high school art students. Josephine said there's a chance there will be more writing in her future, and she just might enter the competition again next year.
