Ideas, experiments, and inspiration to unfold the imagination and get writing to flow off the page! The everything-you-need guide to spark new poems and unstick old stories, including lists of big, small,and favorite words; zany prompts to leap from; and letters of encouragement written by famous authors, including: Annie Barrows, Lemony Snicket, Elizabeth Singer Hunt, Gary Soto, Avi, Betsy Franco, Karen Cushman, Patricia Polacco, and more. Great ideas for teachers to use with students or for students to use independently.
