Picture Books and Early Reader fiction

Fiction is the most fun genre to write. It is where you can let your imagination run free. These books were written with young readers in mind. The reading levels range from kindergarten to third grade. Even so it's never too early to read to children younger than that.

The strongest readers develop by hearing the spoken word early in life. Happy exploring.

Writing for children is a joyful endeavor.
It takes heart, passion, and one endearing story that yearns to be told. As with all things, commit to putting your own ideas on paper. A story left untold will never blossom or touch the heart of a reader.

Now start writing. Thinking about it is not the same as doing it!
