Miranda Mills | Thinking About Writing Children's Picture Books @MirandaMills | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video, I'm chatting about Children's Picture Books. I was gifted a @BBCMaestro course on writing children's picture books with Julia Donaldson (press gift). I finished watching the course over the weekend and found it very inspiring. I've reviewed the course in this video, and my Mum and I also chat about some of our favourite picture books for both adults and children. Have you ever thought about writing picture books? Would you be tempted?
