Re: Drafting a Children's Book

This is what I would do:
First, decide on what kind of a kid, say an average five-year-old, in mind.
Is this kindergartener already reading or will this story be read to him?
Let's say, you have that average kid in mind who is now in the first stage of the learning process of reading and writing.
Keep it simple, both the plot and the characterization. Also, don't overload the language with too long words and complicated sentence structures.
Then, as you write, imagine that each page will probably have pictures. So keep the sentences to the minimum length, but make each word count rather than explaining anything for too long.
Best wishes with your project!
