ONLINE: It's easy to publish any book you want if you're a celebrity. But, barring that status, it's not that easy to pen a children's book that succeeds. This playful introduction to children's books begins with the instructor sharing picture books that work and others that don't (many of these written by celebrities). Students will have an opportunity, during in-class writing time, to improve ineffectual work and then share their results with other participants. We will look at facets such as point of view and rhyming as we examine the books and then use these as guidelines for our creative departures. There will be no outside writing demands or homework for this course. It is simply a pleasurable way to view aspects of children's books. | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
