Sabrina Duckworth hung up her manga-inspired T-shirt to let the design set properly.
The Oceanside Public Library gave kids the chance to design and create their own T-shirts late last month.
Using books from the library, kids learned how to draw manga-style characters (manga is a form of Japanese comic book) and created their own original designs, which were then colored and printed on T-shirts.
