The best children’s books are the ones that balance perfectly between fiction and reality—at least this was my logic when penning Momo Come Home. Few people know that my first children’s book was based off a true childhood story of when my pet bird flew away. I had the idea for Go Go Sadie as I was living in Costa Rica during the annual Jungle Run. I thought, how funny would it be if a sloth entered the race? Sadie’s character was born!
Real life stories easily lend themselves to children’s fiction. What’s happening daily in your life that could be created into a children’s book?
