I'M READING AND SHARING WHAT IF YOU HAD ANIMAL EARS!?

Hi! Are you ready to share a new book with me? Here's what I'm sharing next.

Join me as I'm reading. Find out about some really cool wild animal ears. Then imagine what if you had one of those kind of ears for a day. Which kind would you choose?

Now, just for fun, imagine two of those wild animals switched ears. Which two would you choose? How might that switch work out for each animal?

MINI-PICTURE BOOK WRITING WORKSHOP

This seemed like a good time to share some picture book writing tips. 

Use them yourself. Share them with young writers. I hope everyone watching will gain something that helps you move from idea to creating the text for your own picture book.

So, here goes. Let me walk you through how I worked from idea to text for one of my newest picture books HUSH UP AND HIBERNATE! (WunderMills).

Happily HUSH UP AND HIBERNATE! is selling well and proving very popular with children--and adult who read it aloud to them.

Now, dig in! Put the steps I shared to work and create your own picture book.
