You Have to Write

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Teresa Flavin. This free-verse pep talk for reluctant writers encourages students who have trouble coming up with topics for creative-writing assignments to use what they know ("Write about the fights. / Write about the holes in your socks") and not worry if their first drafts aren't great. Gouache illustrations of frustrated, then inspired, kids examining their surroundings and memories for material give the text specificity.
