For those of you interested in the topic of children's literacy, I have set out some of my thoughts about writing for children.

I work with a project called the DREAM (Developing Reading through Arts Methods) through California State San Marcos, which uses my Clementine books to model how teachers can integrate the arts into their literacy.

If you are an aspiring writer, I hope that my list of recommended books on writing is helpful.

And teachers, you are welcome to download and make use of the study guides assembled for Clementine and Summer of the Gypsy Moths.
