I've wanted to be a children's writer since I was eight. This book gives great skills on character building, rough drafts, and settings. There are even interviews with the authors about their childhoods in the back of the book. I will definitely keep this book with me forever.
I honestly only picked up the book because of the summer reading list but this book is great for those first time writers who want to know where to start.
