Emily and her granny worked on this book over vacation. I wanted to show you some children’s writing. Emily was keeping a journal and wrote important things in it. We then began doing some writing and illustrating. As you can see, a seven year old can do quite well. I will be back with more tips for helping children write when I go back to school in a couple of weeks. Until then - keep reading!

That’s a great idea, and super story! Very impressive. I’m putting a journal/writing project in my notes for future - it will be a while until we’re at the 7 year old mark.

This is so darn spectacular! I love this and I hope that they continue to write!

Children have no fear when it comes to writing, but as they age ….

This is adorable. I want to do things like this with my kids too when they’re a bit older. I’m looking forward to your suggestions! And kudos for Granny.

Awesome! I wrote a book in grade 3, and I still have it! My little girls love to read it! This title looks like a keeper! All children should write and illustrate books of their own.
