This week I got to write and illustrate a children's book for my Advanced Design class. I found some interesting challenges with this project. First I wasn't really sure how to write for children, I did a little bit of research online and at my local library. Online I found a bunch of interviews with writers of children's books, the consensus between the 5 different videos I watch was that kids don't want to be talked down to. At the library I found a gigantic selection of examples, I thumbed through a couple of them and made the decision to do more of an abstract style with a simple "if you can dream it, you can do it" story.
Now for this project we were required to do 10 pages including the cover. I had a little trouble writing for only 10 pages so I went a little crazy and ended up with 22 pages plus a front and back cover.
Give it a read and let me know what you think
