Low on 7/2/2018 3:39:54 PM<br /> <p>Sometimes being able to relate to children requires adults to revisit their own childhood, putting themselves in a child-like mindset. For children&#39;s co-authors Felicia Low-Jimenez and Adan Jimenez (A.J. Low), relating to children comes easy because of their lifestyle and the things they enjoy doing like playing video games and Legos, and reading comics and graphic novels. Having an understanding of how children think has been an important part of the content creation for their award-winning, middle-grade book series Sherlock Sam. Children are sharper than you think, Felicia says, so they work hard in their writing to avoid over-explaining things. The pair connect with their target readers often through school visits and workshops, providing them with a first-hand look at what children enjoy and what stimulates them. These experiences are helpful in determining age appropriate content and stories for their series.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-80/How-to-Write-Age-Appropriate-Stories-for-Middle_2D00_Grade-Readers.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../How-to-Write-Age-Appropriate-Stories-for-Middle_2D00_Grade-Readers.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Children’s Books, fiction, Subscriber, video</div>
