Having trouble getting your children even to think about creative writing? Experts say the best way to write is to stick with what you are familiar with. This advice holds true for beginning writers as well as adults. What does your child know more about than his own world? Here is a book that your child can write about his or her own life experience, with a slant toward thankfulness rather than pride. Writing prompts and old-fashioned illustrations throughout. WRITING TOPICS INCLUDE: Family, friends, pets, home, crafts, neighborhood, church fellowship, talents, homeschool, field trips, favorite places, music, play, birthdays, celebrations, favorite books and stories, and the Bible.
