"Judy Morris's book is entertaining and intelligent, but the exercises make it extraordinary. They will help both novices and seasoned authors gain insight and move forward with their writing." -- Jane Leslie Conly, author of Crazy Lady!, a Newbery Honor Book "Lest anyone doubt that writing for children is both an art and a craft, here's strong evidence. An experienced writer and teacher of writing, Judy Morris leads would-be authors through the nuanced stages of developing plot, character, setting, structure, style, and voice. She combines practical exercises with specific examples from landmark fiction, underscoring the whole with a deep respect for children and the stories that engage them. For those aspiring to publish in the realm of children's literature, this book will prove a valuable companion." -- Betsy Hearne, author of Choosing Books for Children
