Wonder what it's like for a third grader to launch a Web browser, type in www.google.com, hit return and see her art project on the top search engine's home page. It probably doesn't get much better than that.

Makenzie Melton, a third grader at El Dorado Springs R-2 Schools in El Dorado Springs, MI, won for her design, entitled "Rainforest Habitat." Millions of online votes helped to decide the Doodle 4 Google competition. In the drawing, she expressed her concern about the rainforest. Makenzie's design triumphed more than 33,000 student submissions from across the country.
