Children are Authors too Angel and The Little Dog was written and illustrated by Miranda Mary at the age of six. Her story is about a girl who rescues a little dog from an animal shelter. This book is the first of Miranda Mary's Write Like Me Series. Inspired by her teacher, Miranda Mary started writing stories in the first grade and has now written over twenty books in two years. As an eight-year-old she continues to inspire other children to write, illustrate and share their stories, feelings and experiences just like her. The first half of each book is written by the author, and the second half is prompted by her in order to encourage each child to develop their own writing and illustrations. Miranda Mary's Write Like Me Series is the first of its kind as each book is intentionally designed as a teaching tool to guide children ages 6-9 to use their imagination for the purposes of creating stories and sharing their feelings about a particular topic. The series, along with Angel and The Little Dog, offers children an opportunity to develop their writing and language skills, improve their spelling, and communicate what is important to them. The Miranda Mary's Write Like Me Series offers: Reinforcing the Idea that Children Can Be Authors Too Building Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem in Children through Storytelling A Great Keepsake for Families and Loved Ones Improvement in Reading, Writing and Emotional Development Skills A Teaching Tool for Parents, Teachers, and Caretakers for the Classroom and Home "Miranda Mary and her Write Like Me Series is an amazing model that will inspire children for generations to come. Angel and The Little Dog is a beautiful display of the bond of love between a child and an animal." -Kimberlee Schultz, Author of The StarPal Series Miranda Mary's Write Like Me Series also includes: The Kitten of Snow, The Funny Penguin JuJu, and Jimmy Jumping Rope."
