About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing a deep interest in storytelling or wonders how books actually get made. This collection moves beyond the stories themselves to highlight the human lives and historical contexts of the world's most influential authors. It transforms abstract literary figures into real people who faced rejection, worked hard, and used their imaginations to change the world. By introducing the creators behind the classics, it demystifies the process of writing and encourages children to see themselves as future authors. It is a perfect bridge for 7 to 12-year-olds who are transitioning from reading for fun to understanding the craft and history of literature. Parents will find it particularly useful for fostering a growth mindset by showing that even the greatest writers had to start somewhere.
