This is a great book. I used it to engage in “writing small” by Lucy Calkins. The students picked one part of the cover and wrote about as many details as they noticed and imagined that could be there but were not there.
I am writing a picture book and have put my mock up on my vlog…see what you think.
Keep writing!
