Writing
|
Gleeful writing news! {1} Living and Learning in God's World, co-written by me and Cathy Howe, is now available! This little volume presents early school skills—letter recognition, letter sounds, rhymes, opposites, telling stories, counting, numbers, money, and body parts—in a Bible setting (A is for Adam ... Jacob saw the angels going up and down the ladder ... the widow gave two coins worth about a penny each ... ). Contact me for ordering information or to see a sample: [email protected]
{2} I met with Wendy McMillan, a friend from Boulder Media Women and a Longmont (CO) kindergarten teacher, this morning. She and a co-worker are writing a children's book on growing and preparing vegetables and other meals. It's an exciting project, and she's allowing me to help with editing and suchlike. Here's Wendy's description: Plot to Plate: Grow, Cook, Create is a nonfiction resource book and memory maker for children, their families and educators. A compilation of narrative, activities, and recipes, organized by season, Plot to Plate offers meaningful, clearly structured activities and extensions for use at school and home. Targeting children in the early primary years (approximately kindergarten through second grade), the book will also be valuable for older children, who can move on to develop their own extensions and carry out project and cooking activities with increasing independence.
{3} I leave Wednesday in the Meandering Moose, with Sallie and Dolphin, for the Oregon Christian Writers conference outside Portland. This is always a highpoint of my year—a chance to reconnect with friends and learn more about writing, not to mention showing my work to some editors.
I do hope your summer is going well!
