Whenever I give a talk to adults they are always amazed at how much work goes into deceptively simple stories. I have another such talk coming up before too long - may I quote some of your blog to them, please Linda?Lynne Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412874594191347503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-78602276505717986482016-05-18T10:50:16.720+01:002016-05-18T10:50:16.720+01:00Thanks, Sue

Having just produced, with my illustrator brother, a new version of Three Billy Goats Gruff, I can vouch for the fact that making a picture-book is HARD! Every bit as difficult, if not more so, than writing for any other age, including adult.<br />Anyone who thinks it's easy because 'it's short and just for kids' is an idiot.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.com
