Yesterday in our Creative Writing for Beginning Readers workshop we wrote stories based on the beautiful illustrations in Pamela Zagarenski’s book The Whisper<\/a>. This picture book is about a magic book whose words have all flown away and it is up to one intelligent little girl to create new words for it. <\/p>\n

We created our own stories for it as a group, about a giant owl under a magic spell, who has to get butterflies to Hawaii before he shrinks again, and about a magic circus with a similarly giant tiger king. <\/p>\n
