Abstract

The purpose of this creative project was manifold. (1) The writer loved children and writing, and could think of no better way to become involved with them than to write a book for children. (2) This project also fit well with the writer’s academic work. With a major in Elementary Education and an English minor, she saw an opportunity to apply things learned in both areas. (3) Since a creative project was a requirement for graduation on the Honors Program, the writer felt that her project should be something she truly would enjoy doing.She felt that children's reading material has a great effect in the shaping of their values, and is therefore an important field. This also places a certain responsibility on the author of children’s books to make sure that they are suitable for young readers.
