Wings of Wonder - Writing Prompt



What would you do, could you do, if you had wings? Where would you go? How do you think your friends or your grandmother would react? Are you happy about this drastic change in your body? Do you use this new power for good or evil?

People change throughout their lives. Sometimes it's seen as a good thing. Other times it causes problems. Do you ever feel like you or a friend are becoming a completely different person?

Write a story about a character who undergoes a drastic change. Does he or she soar or crash and burn?

Received GOLD Mom's Choice Award for Excellence
and
Named A Best Dog Book for Young Readers


Eight year old, Storee hopes to be a bestselling author some day. Every evening before she goes to bed she looks back on her activities of the day in search of inspiration for her next story.

In this book, young readers are invited to share Storee Wryter’s adventure as she teaches her new puppy how to sit and stay and walk on leash without pulling. Also sharing in the fun is Storree’s cat, Critique, who is convinced that cats are smarter than dogs and isn’t shy about proving it.

When Storee’s neighbor, Kyria, suggests that ADDIE be trained as a therapy dog, the whole family gets involved in making a very important decision.

Will Storee have time to take on this added responsibility? She’s already busy with school, soccer practice, dance lessons, and her writing. And what about the cost? What if they adopt the puppy and she’s not suited to be a therapy dog?

The answer to these questions and more are answered in a story that kids enjoy reading again and again and parents find informative and inspiring. Included in this 60 page, five chapter book are writing prompts inviting kids to explore their own creativity and a code they can use to download the audio book at no additional cost.
