“You can write about ANYTHING, as long as you write about YOU.”

A young boy listens as Mr. Lopez explains the class’s assignment: write about yourself. Marcus is going to write about his hat collection. Alia is going to write about the vampires she talks about all the time. The boy, however, doesn’t have any ideas beyond a title: “The Story of Me by Me.” His sister suggests making lists as a way to start — Thinks I Like, Things I Know. But the things all seem disconnected. Is there a way to tie them all together?

Finally, a kid’s-eye guide to writing! Perfect inspiration for every child to start their very own “Story of Me”!
