Our Story Begins

How much fun is this?! Twenty-six children's book authors and illustrators (dare to) reveal their childhood stories and art. The authors and illustrators include lots of my (and probably your) favorites, like Marla Frazee, Linda Sue Park, Gordon Korman, and Ashley Bryan. The stories of their struggles and successes as children will inspire others who have writing or drawing dreams, I think. It's clear that these folks are all real people who are a lot like you and me.
