This book is easy to read and extremely helpful for teachers, young readers, or even adults. It is basically a guide that explains exactly how to write an autobiography or your life story. It is filled with so many good ideas and I felt like even I could benefit from it
.I think it would be good to have it as a read aloud and then the teacher models each ‘chapter’ or lesson so that the students can follow that example and practice on their own. Some of those lessons would brainstorm a list, write about your name, sketch a map of where you live, create a heart map, gather artifacts, and collect family stories. Altogether, this would create a memoir for the students.

What a great book to read along with young writers! This is definitely one to begin a great year of writing with kids! ( )
