I’m Writing a Story combines story and images to captivate and inspire young readers to write and illustrate their own stories. A collaboration between artwork and text, this whimsical book has a different voice on each page, with a scene that each “writer” imagines. The concept for the manuscript is based on Doretta Groenendyk’s experience working with children in schools and trying to inspire them to be creative in both their writing and drawing. The text is geared to four- to ten-year-olds, and is an excellent teaching tool for aspiring writers. An ideal elementary teacher’s resource, the book’s characters span cultures, genders, and ages.

Imagine my story on a star-sprinkled ice. A whistle blows, an owl hoots. Our midnight hockey stirs up the snow and smells like frost.
