Unlike other books, she offers guidance in centering and being kind to yourself--prerequisites to freeing your voice. The clear, compelling writing adventures she presents gently pull down any guard, any walls you might have in order to release the unexpected within."--Betsy Franco, author of "Falling Hard: 100 Love Poems by Teenagers" Author descriptionKaren Benke has inspired children in the art of creative writing for sixteen years as a freewrite facilitator, creative writing coach, and poet-teacher in the California Poets in the Schools program, where she specializes in leading creative writing workshops for children seven to fourteen years old.
