A FEW RESOURCES TO GET YOU STARTED
Writing Picture Books A Hands-On Guide From Story Creation to Publication by Ann Whitford Paul . This book is GOLD! Crystal Bowman introduced this book to a workshop I attended during a Writing Conference in Grand Rapids.
Children’s Writer’s WORD BOOK by Alijandra Mogilner & Toyopa Mogiliner.
Another recommendation by Crystal Bowman at the conference. It tells you what grade level different words are so that you can target your writing for a certain age of child.
