Summary "Writing for children is not about writing little stories, it is about writing big stories shorter. Children's literature is an art form in its own right, and this book is for anyone who wants not just to write for children, but to write well for them. This book goes beyond the standard 'how to' format to help writers learn the finely balanced craft of writing for children. It will be an indispensable handbook for aspiring and practising children's authors."--BOOK JACKET
