Hi, I first came across the term Living Books in a book I read last year. It was called Writing Through the Tween Years: Supporting Writers, Grades 3-6, by Bruce Morgan with Deb Odom. They are both from...Colorado.
It is published by Stenhouse. http://preview.tinyurl.com/3cp3no I don't have the book handy, but as I recall, the Living Books were not to be graded. They were places for the kids to explore different kinds of writing. It was a place for kids to come back to repeatedly for ideas to inspire further, more developed writing. It was a storage place for getting thoughts, impressions, and ideas on paper.
