Description
Award-winning author, Sheree Fitch, shares her experiences in life and as a writer! From her early memories of her father reciting poetry to her, through encouragement from her teachers to have fun with words, to her life as a published writer and mother, Sheree draws readers into her passion for writing and invites us all to come along. Vivid memories, "snapshot" descriptions of moments of inspiration and lists of "stuff to try" help readers see the magic in life and in writing. From getting the creative juices flowing and finding original topics to to creating a whole new vocabulary, the book also focuses on the fun of language. A must for any kid or adult who ever wanted to know the story behind the stories!
About the author
Sheree Fitch's first two books, Toes in My Nose (1987) and Sleeping Dragons All Around (1989), launched her career as a poet, rhymster, and a “kind of Canadian female Dr. Seuss.” Fitch has won almost every major award for Canadian childrenÕs literature since then, including the 2000 Vicky Metcalf Award for a Body of Work Inspirational to Canadian Children. She has over twenty-five books to her credit, including her bestselling and critically praised adult novel, Kiss the Joy as it Flies (2008). Fitch's home base is the East Coast of Canada.
