Children’s Books are NOT Child’s Play

public-domain-childrens-booksHello everyone!

If you have ever written or tried to write a children’s book, you know it’s harder than it sounds.  You have a limited word count in which to tell an engaging and original story.  Unless you are an author-illustrator, you have to write enough to inspire images while still leaving room for the illustrator to tell his/her own story.

The following posts helped me understand what is needed to create a strong picture book.  I hope you find them helpful as well!
