The strangest stories can sometimes be generated by someone in your neighborhood, or a story that you heard growing up. A good way to approach the picture book, therefore, is to look at it as if it were a novel. Don t be fooled by its small size. Taking a story that could be given the complexity of a novel and making it a picture book ensures that your plot will be sophisticated and engaging. Also, avoid talking down, or using overly simplistic language.
Children are very smart, and publishers are always looking for reading that provides a challenge.
