Why read it?
1 author picked How to Write a Story as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I can’t resist adding this book about being a writer since it’s my job and my passion. As a child, I don’t recall ever reading a picture book about writing. There were spelling books and penmanship books, but nothing about turning an idea into a story.
If you know a budding writer, this book is the perfect place to begin. Written in simple steps, it offers encouragement to keep going and even gives tips on revising. The journey of a future author could start with this book!
From Patricia's list on picture books to encourage young girls to dream big.
