When I Was Your Age, Volume One: Original Stories about Growing Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780763610340)

Perfect for literature classes and beginning writers of all ages!

"Tell me a story of when you were little" is something children love to ask. Ten award-winning writers: Mary Pope Osborne, Laurence Yep, James Howe, Katherine Paterson, Walter Dean Myers, Susan Cooper, Nicholasa Mohr, Reeve Lindbergh, Avi, and Francesca Lia Block tell young readers stories drawn from their own childhood memories. The authors have also contributed notes about why they chose particular memories to write about and what in their lives led them to be writers. In this way, the extraordinary stories in When I Was Your Age bear witness to the origins of a writer's art -- and honor the courage, tenderness, and fragility of children.
