Every word counts, every sentence matters. If you think it's easy to craft a picture book story for 2 - 8 year olds, think again.
Don't forget to write a story that has suspense and action. Every children's book needs suspense, tension and an actual plot. Even young readers need characters they care about and reasons to worry about them.
You don't want to write a story kids don't care about. Draw on your own childhood memories and on your observations and understanding of contemporary kids. There's nothing worse than an out of touch children's book author!
Bottom line: There's more to children's books than scribbling a cute story and adding pictures. If this sparks your interest, let's talk! Contact me at winningproof@gmail.com.
