Reviews
Born to Write will interest children who imagine they could be writers. It may encourage children to think about the people and events around them, to extrapolate lessons from their experiences and apply them to their writing. The unhappy experiences that formed these writers may also show children who are facing personal challenges that they can survive them and use them in a positive way... Born to Write can be used to motivate children to dive into a good book or to spin their own tales. Who knows who might become the next remarkable writer? Recommended.--Harriet Zaidman Canadian Materials (11/20/2009) There's a lot to love about award-winning children's author Charis Cotter's Born to Write: The Remarkable Life of Six Authors... By drawing connections between her half dozen subjects, Cotter goes deeper than you would expect, illustrating how early experience can shape a life and push an individual one way. Or another... As well, Cotter perfectly captures the essence of the book culture of childhood and shares that with her young readers... Born to Write is a good and interesting book about books and the culture of reading. This is a good one to share with the youngsters in your life.--Sienna Powers January Magazine (11/14/2009) Young readers will find presentation of the book appealing, with many colorful photographs and illustrations; however, more mature readers will gain the most enjoyment as they discover the backgrounds and inspirations of some of their favorite writers....
