If you ever wanted to have some tips on how to write for children, I really feel that Dawn has captured that in some nice short paragraphs. Writing for children is not always the easiest thing to do. You have to think like children sometimes. What interests kids, what types of things do they like, what illustrations will draw them in, etc. There is not 1 major rule for writing children's books. One thing that I will leave you with though, is to read as many children's books as you possibly can. By doing this, you will gain some insight and ideas on how to write and what makes a good picture book.
As a new author and illustrator, I definitely need growth. I am constantly sketching/drawing and writing. Even if I am not fond of some of my drawings, I continue sketching and practicing. I like to see where I need improvement by looking back at my older sketches. It also shows me where I have grown. I truly enjoy what I do! Thank you all again, for the time you take to look at my blogs, my website, and my books!
