About

The inspiring sequel to, “How to Read a Story!”

Step 1: Choose an idea for your story. A good one.

Step 2: Decide on a setting. Don't be afraid to mix things up.

Step 3: Create a heroine, or a hero.

Now: Begin.

Accomplished storytellers Kate Messner and Mark Siegel playfully chronicle the process of becoming a writer in this fun follow-up to “How to Read a Story”, guiding young storytellers through the joys and challenges of the writing process. From choosing an idea, to creating a problem for their character to resolve, to coming to The End, this empowering picture book breaks down the writing process in a dynamic and accessible way, encouraging kids to explore their own creativity, and share their stories with others!
