To start off I would love to say thank you for stopping by my blog and giving a couple of minutes out of your time to read about what I love about writing. I hope you enjoy what I have to say.
To me writing children's books are important because when they are young it is the most crucial time for them to learn, aspire and become who they are meant to be. They learn from the stories that many of us have done over many years. We were reading the likes of Dr Suess's 'Cat in the Hat or Green eggs, and ham', or Roald Dahl's The BFG or even Willy Wonka - and of course, we all watched the amazing Gene Wilder in the role - The way I see a children's book or at least the way I remember reading the books when I was younger, was that every page that I turned was another page of amazement. We turn and something incredible could happen. And yet within the imagination of the story being told is the underlining narrative of something inspirational or heartfelt. A means of learning in the grandest way.
I love writing stories for children because I want to give them some stories they can learn from and be amazed at the same time as they keep turning the pages. It doesn't matter if there are talking animals or even if it is a story about a bottle of milk and cocoa powder, and together they end up creating something beautiful once they come together, and the underlying narrative is that of friendship and together we are better.
The power of imagination is an amazing thing and to create something for our kids and our children's children, to grow up with and learn from stories is what makes writing for kids phenomenal.
I hope that one day my stories will be told and I hope that there are many more amazing authors that wish to get their work seen and read by many, to inspire and create. Giving that aspiration we all have to the next generation of readers and writers.
I hope this all made sense, and thank you again so much for taking the time to read this. I hope that what I have written which is my feelings on this matter. That maybe it could inspire others. To me, in nearly every piece of literature, there is always something amazing to take from it: Inspiration, philosophy, learning, and many more.
I am currently working on my first children's novel age range from around 10 to 15. It is called Darla: Rainbow tracks to Gorgunheim. It is a story of friendship, loss, love, family and ghosts.
Sincerely
Brodie W. Whitburn
