Creative Writing for Children: Fables

In this workbook, we want to inspire children and young people to use their imagination and creativity to write their own fables. A fable is a short, instructive story that often features animals with human characteristics and ends with a moral lesson. But how do you create an exciting fable yourself? ­ Creative writing not only develops imagination, but also an understanding of language, structure, and values—all important skills for telling good stories. Getting started can sometimes be difficult: finding an idea, writing the first sentence or developing a suitable moral. This book will help you with just that! With inspiring images, story starters, sentence building blocks and word lists, it is easier to invent your own fables, retell classic legends and write them down. ­ The book is perfect for use in school classes and writing groups, but can also be used at home.
