Editorial Reviews

Book Description
This has basic details about writing children's stories, selling to publishers or direct sales, promoting, and self-publishing. ISBN and bar code resources are listed for self-publishers as well as a wide variety of other print and online resources. It was created as a teaching and review text which allows time for critiques of students' stories and articles in eight week writing classes and writing workshops.

From the Author
On March 22, 2000, I enjoyed introducing my new book to "The Enchanted Forest" presented in Atlanta, GA, by Southern Breeze at their Springmingle Conference. Southern Breeze is the AL/GA/MS region of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. The book covers much basic information, has numerous resources, and is priced to move. It sold very well to this group of writers and illustrators.

Teaching the History of Christmas

1:51 PM PST, December 10, 2006, updated at 2:42 PM PST, December 10, 2006

My newest article at amazon is "So you'd like to teach the history of Christmas." Some of the books in the article and additional books are in my new Christmas category in my bookstore at Learning Abilities Books .

Public school teachers are interested in teaching from a historical perspective. We celebrate the birthdays of famous people. Why is Jesus famous? Why is Saint Nicholas famous? Who was the first St. Nick? These are some of the questions addressed in the article and in the books.

Christmas Treats

2:12 PM PST, November 27, 2006

My newest article has been posted at Amazon: So You'd Like to say, "Merry Christmas." It lists a few resources for using crafts, food, music, and books. Some of the following related information has been posted on the What's New and Diabetes / Hypoglycemia pages of my Learning Abilities Books site.

You have your favorite traditional recipes but you might like to add a few from these resources:
Southern Living Our Best Christmas Recipes and Betty Crocker's Cooky Book..

For some children and grown-ups, traditional treats can be dreaded temptations if they are living with serious medical conditions such as Crohn’s disease, diabetes, ADHD, etc. Avoidance of certain foods can help control some symptoms. Most people are sensitive enough include non-alcoholic beverages for guests who have problems with alcohol, but they often overlook other dietary needs of guests by not knowing about the conditions or not knowing how to help.

It is hard for teachers to know all dietary restrictions and guidelines for children. The responsibility lies with parents to let teachers know and to provide tasty alternatives so the child can enjoy holiday parties. If parents or educators package and sell non-traditional treats cleverly enough, other children will want to join the child with the special dietary needs and help this child feel more included. (By package and sell, I mean to decorate and present in a positive manner.)

Even if it isn't a traditional treat, stick a sprig of holly or other decoration on the plate and call it a holiday treat. We have so many sweet holidays which signal real problems for some children. Here are a couple of books which can help: Gluten-free, Sugar-free Cooking: Over 200 Delicious Recipes to Help You Live a Healthier, Allergy-Free Life and Cooking Free: 200 Flavorful Recipes for People with Food Allergies and Multiple Food Sensitivity.

If you have some favorite recipes or recipe books you would like to share, please contact me. My email address is near the bottom of the site owner page of my site.
