PRAISE FOR THE I LOVE TO WRITE BOOK

“An ideal gift for the young potential author in one's life.” Midwest Book Review

“An extremely well-done guide. The book offers practical advice for writers. Heck, even an adult would benefit from this clear, straightforward guide.” BookLoons Reviews

"A most welcome source for educators and children – both inspiring and practical. Her enthusiasm for teaching young people to write will grab the attention of teachers, librarians, and kids themselves. Teachers need her straightfoward text. Librarians can recommend it whole-heartedly to the public. And kids will grow in their writing skills enthusiastically. Buy two copies! One for yourself, and one to share!"
– Jan Irving, author of Stories NeverEnding (2004) and Stories, Time and Again (2005), respected consultant in the field of children's literature and library services to children
