My friend Craig posted a hilarious blog in which he shared pictures of a “book” he wrote when he was 9. Craig had his first book published by a publisher this month, so it was really neat to journey back in time to view this young literary prodigy at work.

My son Cooper loves to illustrate stories. Because his language is so delayed, I love the insight his books give us into his thoughts. I have a portfolio of his “books.” This link: http://www.forthesakeofjoy.com/young-talent/ goes to my web site where I posted pictues of a story he wrote about how he envisioned Christmas Eve. (I couldn't put that many pics into this site's blog space) He writes how he talks – leaving out words in the sentence and using many sound effects. We use story writing in his therapy to work on sentence structure; phonics; reflective thinking; and many other skills. I will continue to encourage him in his writing ~ maybe one day he too will be a “Craig Lancaster” : ) Peace! ~kp
