Meg's Warm Clothes is an exceedingly simple twelve-page reader that helps very young readers identify colours and clothing. Each page has a line detailing one of Meg's warm garments along with its colour. Meg has a warm blue hat, for example. The last page has the surprise punchline. Meg has a cold red...nose! This kind of line is meant to not only add contrast and interest, but to ensure children pay attention to the words rather than repeating "Meg has a warm..." without looking at the lines. I suspect this is the second shortest of my books... longer than A Sun, a Flower, but shorter that The Cat and the King.
ABOUT THE BLOG
Sally is Sally Odgers; author, manuscript assessor, editor, anthologist and reader. She runs http://www.affordablemanuscriptassessments.com and Prints Charming Books. (Sally is me, by the way, and I am lots of other things too, but these are the relevant ones for now.)
The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist. If you enjoyed a post, or want to ask about any of my books or my manuscript assessment service.
