As Amazon's most popular author on non-fiction books for kids, Kota often finds himself writing with kids in mind; he hopes to bring joy to their lives through learning interesting facts about themselves as well as engaging them with literature. Books are amazing things. They can take you on adventures across the ocean or into ancient lands within your own mind, teaching you something new with every page you turn or each time they're returned to their rightful place. They can bridge the gap that at times separates us and sometimes even unite us. They give us new friends and beloved characters, and teach us more than just words, they teach us life lessons. Each time we spend time with a piece of literature we learn new things about ourselves, we gain insight into the people we've become as well as where we might want to go next. Throughout history some of the most influential authors have been those who wrote books for children, these people have taught generations of children through their stories and encourage them to push their boundaries using those same skills by which those stories were written. In this collection of articles, I'm going to be looking at these authors and sharing with you their wisdom, as well as some of the books that helped me along the way. After reading them you'll never look at a book in quite the same way again. _________________________________________________________________________________________ The authors first books for children were all published in the 1950s and 1960s. The first was titled 'The Magic Pig' by Dorothy Hinshaw . It was written to teach young readers about colours, numeracy, shapes/geometry and animals. This story has gone down in history as one of the best children's books ever written; it is now known as 'the bible' for preschoolers. Although Dorothy wrote more books after 'The Magic Pig' she was tired of writing about mathematical concepts and soon turned to writing for children's magazines. She went on to write many books, poems and plays for both children and adults, but has since retired. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ It would be impossible to discuss authors who wrote books for early readers without mentioning Maurice Sendak, the creator of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. He's become recognised as one of America's most influential authors after his first book was published in 1963. The story is about a naughty little boy named Max who wishes he could be somewhere else, then travels through time and space into a mysterious land full of monsters. It has been made into a movie and a few television adaptations, but the book is much better. Sendak was born in 1928 and by the time he was 12 was studying at the Rhode Island School of Design. He became a professor at Yale University in 1956 and would go on to write over 80 books for children, including his most famous work 'Where the Wild Things Are'. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ The second author I'd like to introduce you to is also from America, but he differs from Sendak in one significant way. Roald Dahl was born in 1916 and grew up in England where he spent most of his childhood living with his Norwegian parents. cfa1e77820
