Writing for children is not as easy as a writer may think. Writing for the older crowd, you have time to expand scenarios and characters. Writing for children, you need to captivate their attention right off with interesting characters they can relate to and situations they can associate with.

Little children are susceptible to what a writer pens to paper so we need to be careful.

Also, writing for children means not only does a writer need to get past the publishing door for acceptance, but their book needs to pass the inspection of the child's parent plus the school librarian to place the book within their school system. Fun, eh? :)

Hope you enjoy the links above.
