Is there a great writer in you? Author David Scott Fields II presents the VERY first short story he ever wrote - Green Elephant. At the young age of eight, Mr. Fields fell in love with the written word, and this "kooky" story about a baby elephant that is magically turned green was the first to emerge from his pen - and many more stories would soon follow. Today, as an English teacher and author Mr. Fields is thrilled with the chance he has to inspire up and coming young authors, and now he wants to spread that inspiration from his classroom to yours. Green Elephant - A "You Can Write" Activity Book contains a story written by a child and illustrations drawn by a child. Nothing fancy, no bells or whistles, just a work meant to ignite a passion for writing in child authors. And to that end, the back half of the book contains space for your students to write their own stories and draw their own pictures, with a few helpful guidelines along the way. A world of imagination and adventure awaits as each child explores the question, "Is there a great writer in you?" - Recommended for ages 7 to 10.
