Good childrens book

This book is good for elementary aged kids. It explains how writers get their ideas and how they go about writing and publishing a book.

What Do Authors Do?

This is an excellent book for teaching children how books are created by an author and then published. It is a humorous account of the ways authors find their ideas and the rewriting necessary to create their stories. I plan to use it as an inspiration for my third graders as they write their own stories.
