This wonderfully effective story writing guide breaks down the writing process into concise, easily understood steps expressed in a manner that tends to make immediate sense to budding authors. That strong engagement factor is further heightened by a persistent playfulness that permeates How to Write a Story, aided in part by a cast of joyfully-rendered characters that make reading the book and applying its methods remarkably fun to do. Kids quickly learn how to shape their stories, imbuing them with narrative arcs and rich details that draw readers into the central characters' journeys. As a consequence, the prospect of writing stories no longer feels daunting and instead becomes enticing, exciting, even exhilarating. How to Write a Story also includes 21 structured, illustrated writing prompts that spark kids' imaginations and give them a wealth of confidence-building practice at weaving their own tales from start to finish!
