Writing a children’s book is proving to be difficult. Very difficult. Concepts and ideas need to be clear and sharp. In other words, no long diatribe illustrating word prowess. Short and simple appears to be the key. Having said that though I know that children, even as young as 6 -8, are very insightful. So it is necessary to incorporate layers of subtle hues to add colour and interest to a simple message. A difficult task indeed! I fear that what appeared to be a simple idea has become a complex multi-faceted writing task! Oh dear! Not sure what I’ve started! Might have to go and practice what I preach and whip up one of my start-from- scratch recipes! First - off to the kitchen garden for some inspiration!
