Every book starts the same way. A
curious person has an idea or question.
What if frogs could fly? What if the dog
could talk? Where do armadillos live?
Authors
write down their ideas. They
research facts. Artists might sketch a
character. They create. They change their
minds. They write or draw some more.
This process may take a year or more.
But that is just the beginning!
