All Children can be Authors!
"If I can be an author, you can be an author!"
That's what I tell children when encouraging the idea of publishing a book! As a childcare professional, I am inspired by the creativity and ideas of children. All children can be authors with proper guidance, support, and assurance. It would be an honor for me to serve the children in your classroom or facility. By working with your children, and within an agreeable amount of time, we will publish a book together and they will learn valuable lessons along the way!
This book project will be:
- Based on the children's thoughts, ideas, and dreams.
- Appropriate for the children in your classroom.
-
A cooperative effort.
Be inspired…
Ideas for writing begins with the children’s thoughts, dreams, and interest.
