I Wish Lockwood and Co Would Give George a Break.

Why is a work for children so fatphobic and sexist? Why do these tropes continue? #JusticeForGeorge

After I finished writing my novel for kids, I realized I was not particularly well versed in what kids were reading these days and so set out to read all the contemporary middle grade fiction I could get my hands on. Top of my list: The Secret Keepers, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, The Bromeliad Trilogy, The Girl Who Drank the Moon and Miss Ellicott’s School for the Magically Minded.…

Your 12 Steps Guide to Creating Children's Books

The beauty of children's literature is its timeless allure. Every page turned, every character introduced, and every plot twist can shape young minds and leave an indelible mark on their hearts. There's a unique charm to creating big books for kids – a delicate mix of responsibility, creativity, and sheer joy. If you're brimming with stories waiting to be told and shared, then let's delve deep into this detailed guide and unfold the secrets of crafting compelling children's books. For more details on children's books, visit us - Big Books By George (BBBG).

Identify Your Target Age Group

Understanding your readers is the foundation. Different age groups have varied comprehension levels, interests, and attention spans. Are you aiming for toddlers who are captivated by vibrant images and essential words, or are you targeting pre-teens ready for a longer narrative? This decision will frame your entire storytelling strategy.

Choose a Relevant Theme

Select a theme that's both relatable and intriguing. This could be derived from daily life – challenges at school, making friends, or understanding complex emotions. Or perhaps you want to introduce them to the beauty of nature, the mysteries of the universe, or historical tales of bravery.

Develop Memorable Characters

Great characters are the heartbeat of big books for kids. Dive deep into creating personalities that are multi-dimensional and evoke a range of emotions. Think of their backgrounds, aspirations, fears, and dreams. Every tiny detail can make them more relatable and authentic to your young readers.

Create a Strong Plot

An enticing plot is what keeps those pages turning. Begin with an engaging introduction to set the stage. As the story progresses, introduce dilemmas, adventures, or mysteries, and finally, ensure a satisfying conclusion. The aim is to take young readers on an exciting roller coaster of emotions and events.

Write with Simplicity

Big books for kids thrive on clarity. While your story can be rich and layered, the language should be straightforward. Break down complex ideas into digestible chunks. Use lucid language, easy-to-understand phrases, and maintain a rhythmic flow.

Include Repetition

Repetitive elements can be a source of delight. They not only help in reinforcing a concept or an idea but also provide an interactive element where kids can predict and participate in the storytelling.

Make it Educational (But Fun!)

Why not make learning enjoyable? Big books for kids offer the perfect platform to subtly teach while ensuring the entertainment quotient remains high. Introduce fascinating facts, moral values, or problem-solving scenarios but in a light-hearted manner.

Think About Illustrations

The visual aspect of children's books, especially big books for kids, can't be stressed enough. Collaborate with illustrators who have experience or a special knack for creating visuals for big books for kids. They can truly understand and enhance your vision. Opt for a mix of detailed illustrations and simple drawings, offering visual breaks and emphasis where needed, ensuring the illustrations complement the grandeur of big books for kids.

Get Feedback from Kids

Big books for kids are crafted for young readers, and hence, their opinions are paramount. Your young readers are your best critics. Organize reading sessions or workshops focused on big books for kids, and get firsthand reactions. Their insights, questions, and engagement levels can provide invaluable feedback that can shape your final draft.

Revise and Refine

Big books for kids require precision and attention to detail. Use the feedback received to polish your narrative. Add details, remove redundancies, and ensure that the pacing aligns with the expectations of big books for kids. Dive deep, be critical, and don't hesitate to rewrite sections if required to ensure it fits seamlessly into the world of big books for kids.

Consider Professional Editing

A fresh, expert pair of eyes can work wonders. They can fine-tune the narrative, correct inconsistencies, and offer suggestions to make your book stand out in the competitive world of children's literature.

Publish and Share Your Book

Once you're armed with a polished masterpiece, explore various publishing avenues. Attend book fairs, collaborate with educational institutions, and harness the power of social media. Let the world know about the newest gem in the realm of big books for kids.

Conclusion

Crafting big books for kids is more than just a literary endeavor. It's about touching young hearts, fueling imaginations, and shaping perspectives. It's a beautiful blend of creativity, diligence, and a profound understanding of young minds. Each step in this guide offers an opportunity to refine, learn, and get closer to that dream book. So, let your passion guide you, and here's to creating a legacy in the enchanting world of children's literature!

The whole genetics project of the Bene Gesserit may have been dubbed a failure because Paul wasn't a girl but there was nothing stopping Paul and Feyd-Ruatha acting on that sexual tension they had in both book and film.

Paul could have taken Feyd as a third Consort. Just imagine Paul with his Empress Irulan and his wife Chani sitting at his side and Feyd just sprawled on the dais steps just wearing something scandalous like

You were right Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, wasted potential.

Let's-give-Bruce-a-heart-attack plan, in which all the Bats team up to get their identities "exposed"

As in, they go out in civvies with suits underneath their clothes, Clark Kent-style, except all of the suits are obviously wrong.

Tim gets exposed as Spoiler. Jason is spotted changing into Black Bat's uniform. Cass blinks innocently when someone points out the Robin top peeking out from underneath her clothes. Damian gets recorded, voice deadpan in a Batman suit size 14 yo like, "It's hard work being the Protector of Gotham, especially for as long as I've been doing it, but someone has to be there for the people."

Bruce is in Hell.

And he doesn't know what he's done to deserve this, but thankfully, he has an idea to get them to stop.

...Turns out Wonder Woman's skirt and boots make his calves look fantastic.

katsuki is sitting on the couch in the living room, holding his new little baby in his arms, and you notice that he's just been staring at him for the longest time. adjusts his little hat so his head doesn't get cold, pulls his small hands away from his face so he doesn't scratch himself.

and they're both quiet for a while, aside from the occasional squirmy baby noise, but katsuki eventually speaks up to ask—

"why's he lookin' at me like that?"

not only is the question itself funny, but the way it's voiced — tone deep and gruff, almost affronted — pulls a true laugh from you, has you shaking your head as you come around the couch to stand beside him.

and sure enough — your new little bean is frowning. even his little hairless browline is furrowed, hard.

you laugh again, sharp enough that your son wiggles in katsuki's arms. "because you're looking at him like that."

katsuki tch's, before turning to give you his son's exact same expression. "no 'm not. this is just my face."

"well, maybe that's just his face."

his frown deepens, hilariously enough. "ain't his face with you." and then he looks back down at him, like he's checking to see if he's still being glared at. he is. "looks like he's pissed."

"maybe he is."

you don't bother to correct him, to inform that your son does, in fact, give you a stink face every now and again — just like his father — and instead you watch katsuki lean down close to him, until their noses are nearly touching. watch the way little fingers squeeze around katsuki's thumb.

"the hell do you have to be pissed about, huh?" katsuki asks, voice quiet and low and small, enough for the boy in his arms. "far as i'm concerned, you're livin' the life."

you only laugh, smile while running a hand through katsuki's hair.

you'd say you are, too.

Family Resemblance

....

.....

I

....

I had another 11pm brain worm.

Enjoy

-x-x-

Daniel Wayne, the younger toddler brother of Bruce Wayne and the son of Martha and Thomas Wayne had been kidnapped the night their parents were murdered.

Daniel had been snagged the moment their killer heard people headed to the alley and Bruce in his state of shock didn't realize it until it was far to late and could only scream in horror (from everything) as his baby brother is crying his name. (If you wanna make it even more heart wrenching, make it Danny's first time being able to say Bruce's name right and/or Bruce had said some mean things to Danny earlier after he accidentally broke something of Bruce's, something like 'I wish youd go away' or 'I never wanted a brother, you're such a bother!')

Bruce is being held by Alfred as some police officers are chasing down the Wayne's parents killer while some stay behind to see if they could do something.

Minutes turn to hours and as they wait, praying the police at least found Danny, Bruce is ridden with guilt. From his parents death to allowing his brother to be kidnapped.

Eventually the police return to give Alfred and Bruce the news. And it's not good.

The killer escaped and Danny was nowhere to be found.

And it would take many years before he would be found.

-x-x-

Bruce gets a call from Damian during school hours one day. When he answers he is greeted with Damian demanding him to get to the school and explain himself.

Confused Bruce asks what does he mean and Damian responds with

"The two new students in class today are the spitting images of you and I father! Either they are poorly created clones or you have more hidden blood children!"

-x-x-

Meanwhile the very students being discussed are calling up someone too

"Ellie? Dan? What's wrong? You better not have made too much chaos already, I just paid for the uniforms for that place."

"DAD! I THINK ANOTHER ONE OF THE FRUITLOOPS FAILED CLONES SOMEHOW SURVIVED!"

"What?"

Pack dynamics for domestic urban fantasy werewolves:

● They're never exclusively werewolves. Werewolves have a habit of aggressively adopting everyone they are fond of and when you've won the trust and affection of one, the rest come along in a package deal.

● They're territorial in the protective sense. No trouble in our neighborhood. No hunger in our houses. No fear on our streets.

● They hold grudges. Shopkeeper overcharged one of the pack members in their store? None of them will shop there again. Restaurant owner yelled at one the cubs who got a job there washing up? They've just lost all their hungriest diners.

● Young werewolves think the word "pack" is way too old fashioned and prefer words like crowd, crew, fam, and swarm. ("Honestly, honey, swarm? What are we, pigeons?")

● They're nosy. The upside is no one with a werewolf pack to back them up will ever be left to fend for themselves. The downside is that everyone is always sticking their hairy noses in.

● They vary greatly in size. In some places, especially more rural ones, it's not uncommon to find entire villages that are basically one pack. In other places they might only have a dozen members, scattered about. And many packs start with a set of two or three going somewhere new to build a life and a community.
