Then, comparing first drafts with final copy, Heather will reveal how she brings her stories to life with revision. She’ll share how she transforms the spark of an idea into a book and discuss her research process.
Discover how these brave women inspire her and can inspire kids to be brave, set goals, and learn from failure. Heather will discuss her picture book biographies about trailblazing women. For Educators GIRLS WITH GRIT: RESEARCHING AND WRITING ABOUT BRAVE WOMEN
