Here’s a delightful new book from children’s author Wendie Old that tells you just about everything you could ever want to know about Halloween.
Wanna know why we bob for apples on Halloween?
Or what turnips have to do with Jack-o-Lanterns?
You can find out the answers to these and other questions about Halloween in this book which includes colorful, detailed illustrations by Paige Billin-Frye.
The book also includes Halloween safety tips, directions for carving a pumpkin, Halloween riddles, and plenty of fun and easy ideas for a spook-tacular Halloween Party!
What a super resource for teachers, parents, and kids!
Every weekday afternoon I interview a published children’s author on my radio show, Book Bites for Kids, LIVE on blogtalkradio.com.
This past week I interviewed many interesting children’s writers who didn’t just sit back and wait for their work to be accepted by a publisher. Instead, they went out and FOUND someone to publish their work, or they decided to publish it themselves.
I don’t know about you, but I’m always inspired by people like this. They reaffirm my core belief that we can basically create whatever life we choose for ourselves if we KNOW what it is we want and then we take steps to get it.
If you didn’t get a chance to listen to Book Bites for Kids this past week, go to the archives at blogtalkradio.com and listen to my interviews with authors, Sue Houser and Angela Durden, to learn how they made their dreams of writing and publishing a children’s book come true.
I think you, too, will be inspired by their stories.
If you have a question about writing for children or publishing for children, now’s your chance to get an answer.
Visit my site at AskSuzanneNow and write your question in the submission box, along with your name and email, and I’ll send you an answer.
While you’re there, listen to the recorded teleseminar and you just might find that your question has already been asked and answered.
And, if you’d like to learn how to write for children, check out my 2 CD, 2 workbook program, Tricks of the Trade: The Secrets of Writing for Children.
One of our speakers this month is Angela Durden, author of Mike and His Grandpa, the first in a new series of children’s books.
Durden will be speaking to the CWCC this Wednesday night at 7:00 central time. Here’s a short blurb about her presentation.
What Will YOU do with Expectation Postponed?
Is your book not getting written as fast as you want?
Is your book not getting published when and by whom you want?
Are speaking appearances not coming as often you would like?
Are you crying in your beer about wasting time?
Stop crying! View this as an opportunity to work on the details.
