Learn how to write with the multi-award-winning Katrina Nannestad!


There is so much about writing that I love -- playing with words, scribbling freely without a destination in mind, gathering ideas, daydreaming, planning, problem-solving and, of course, creating stories.

Let's gambol, ramble, dabble and dance in storytelling.

Just for fun.

This book will get your imagination whirring, your ideas expanding and your talents growing.

Happy writing!

Katrina

A fun, clever and practical way to encourage creative writing!

I love the illustrations, variety of prompts and suggestions, as well as the dedication 'For the daydreamers, the word lovers and the storytellers.'

This would make a great gift for the young word lovers in your life.
