![]() ![]() ![]() Even though Anthony Doerr’s book is for adults, the sweet innocence of the child protagonist in both of those stories struck me with so much emotion, the desire to write a children’s book overcame me. I didn’t start out writing for children, but after I read ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE and THE BOOK THIEF, something clicked in my heart. But not long after, an overwhelming urge to write a novel took over, and soon my poor new paintbrushes were left to collect dust. When I retired, I bought a ton of fancy new brushes and tubes filled with fabulous paint colors and happily returned to my easel. Along with dance, I’ve always enjoyed painting and writing. Hello Kidlit411! I am a former dancer/studio owner from New York and taught ballet, tap, jazz and Irish Step to children for over thirty years. Tell us about yourself and how you came to write for children. We are excited to feature author Colette Sewall and her MG debut, KIKI MACADOO AND THE GRAVEYARD BALLERINAS ( Owl Hollow Press, August 4, 2020). ![]()
