Start with a Word
We're definitely trying to stimulate your creativity today, and though we've already covered the fine art of doodling and drawing in our reviews, let's switch over to something that we don't often get to see enough of in children's books.Many kids love books enough to be aspiring writers, and in "Start with a Word" by bestselling author and creative writer Peter H. Reynolds, you'll find a brilliant journal-style book filled with amazing advice, fab illustrations and superb writing prompts to help you up your game when it comes to writing creatively.
Peter's exercises are designed to ease you gently into the art of taking what's in your head and expressing it on the page.
Whether you’re a budding wordsmith or a writerly type, these pages prompt you to gather words, put them together in unexpected ways, and to witness how new ideas, poems, characters, and stories are born.
As part of your everyday creative routine, the book works brilliantly - and if you (like us) have ever stared at a blank page with absolutely no clue what you want to write about, this book is like a tonic to boost your skills and get you thinking about writing in new and exciting ways.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A brilliant bag-sized lay-flat journal specially for creative writing types, with tons of brilliant exercises, illustrations and writing prompts to give your pen or pencil a turbo-boost!
"Start with a Word" by Peter H. Reynolds is out today, published by Abrams Books (kindly supplied for review).
