Kid Authors: True Tales of Childhood from Famous Writers de David Stabler

Kid Authors: True Tales of Childhood from Famous Writers: Kid Legends

Autor David Stabler Ilustrat de Doogie Horner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 oct 2017 – vârsta până la 12 ani

Descoperim aici o lucrare care impresionează încă de la prima atingere prin rezistența sa fizică. Fiind o ediție Hardback, cu pagini groase și copertă cartonată durabilă, este perfect adaptată pentru mânuțele curioase ale micilor cititori. Observăm cum Kid Authors reușește să transforme figuri legendare ale literaturii în personaje recognoscibile, cu care copiii de 8-12 ani pot empatiza imediat. În familia Before They Were Authors: Famous Writers As Kids de Elizabeth Haidle, dar cu o temă actuală și extrem de relevantă: modul în care dificultățile sau năzbâtiile din copilărie au pus bazele creativității de mai târziu. Recomandăm acest volum pentru felul în care demitizează succesul, arătându-ne că J.R.R. Tolkien se temea de păianjeni sau că Mark Twain prefera să chiulească de la școală pentru a pleca în aventuri. Autorul David Stabler continuă aici abordarea de succes din Kid Presidents și Kid Athletes, păstrând același ton plin de umor și accesibil. Dacă în lucrările anterioare accentul cădea pe leadership sau performanță fizică, în Kid Authors explorăm universul interior și puterea imaginației. Ilustrațiile color semnate de Doogie Horner oferă un ritm vizual alert, transformând fiecare biografie într-o poveste grafică ușor de parcurs, ideală pentru a stimula interesul pentru lectură și scriere creativă.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte părinților care doresc să le insufle copiilor încredere în sine prin puterea exemplului. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă umană asupra geniului literar, învățând că eșecurile sau micile defecte din copilărie nu sunt obstacole, ci trepte către succes. Este un instrument educativ excelent pentru proiecte școlare sau pentru tinerii care aspiră să devină scriitori, oferindu-le dovezi concrete că toți marii autori au fost, înainte de toate, copii obișnuiți.

Despre autor

David Stabler este un autor cunoscut pentru abilitatea sa de a transforma biografiile istorice în narațiuni captivante pentru publicul tânăr. Prin seria sa de succes Kid Legends, publicată de QUIRK BOOKS, Stabler a explorat copilăriile unor personalități marcante din diverse domenii, de la politică și sport până la știință. Stilul său se caracterizează printr-un mix echilibrat de fapte istorice riguroase și anecdote amuzante, menite să facă istoria accesibilă și relevantă pentru noua generație. Colaborarea sa constantă cu ilustratori talentați subliniază viziunea sa de a crea cărți de non-ficțiune care sunt la fel de distractive ca romanele de aventuri.

Descriere scurtă

Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell the tales from the growing-up years of Beverly Cleary, J. R. R. Tolkien, and 13 other great writers.

Every great author started out as a kid. Before the best sellers, fan clubs, and beloved stories we know today, the world's most celebrated writers had regular-kid problems just like you.

  • Sam Clemens (aka Mark Twain) loved to skip school and make mischief, with his best friend Tom, of course!
  • A young J. R. R. Tolkien was bitten by a huge tarantula—or as he called it, “a spider as big as a dragon.”
  • Toddler Zora Neale Hurston took her first steps when a wild hog entered her house and started chasing her!


Readers ages 8 to 12 years old will learn all their stories and more—the diverse and inclusive cast that includes Roald Dahl, Beverly Cleary, J. K. Rowling, Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll, Stan Lee—through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.

Notă biografică

Author David Stabler and illustrator Doogie Horner have created several books together, including Kid Presidents (Quirk, 2014), Kid Athletes (Quirk, 2015), Kid Artists (Quirk, 2016), and Kid Authors (Quirk, 2017).

Extras

Everybody loves a good story—and we all know that a well-told story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is a book about how the stories of sixteen famous authors began.
Some of them knew from very early on that they were going to be writers. Edgar Allan Poe, the legendary author of “The Raven” and “The Tell-Tale Heart,” used to recite poetry and dress up as a ghost to frighten grown-ups at parties.
And the poet Langston Hughes spent hours in his local library, reading collections of mythology, verse, and African American history.
Other kid authors had to overcome obstacles on the road to success. Laura Ingalls Wilder, the writer of Little House on the Prairie, grew up on the frontier, where she faced harsh winters and attacks by locusts.
And then there is J. K. Rowling. Long before she wrote the best-selling Harry Potter novels, she was just another kid in middle school trying to make decent grades and fend off bullies. Believe it or not, she often found herself getting into fights! She took comfort in writing stories about feisty heroines who fought back against evil villains.
And finally we have Jeff Kinney, whose most formidable foes were his three siblings. Every morning, Jeff and his siblings found themselves in a heated competition to determine who would use the bathroom first. Jeff took the “wimpy moments” of his childhood and turned them into Diary of a Wimpy Kid, one of the most successful children’s book series of all time.
We all have a story to tell, and whether or not you grow up to become a great writer, all those stories start in the same place: childhood. Some kids are born storytellers, others learned to take their unique experiences and turn them into tales that would entertain and inspire. We know how their stories ended, but how much do you really know about how their stories began? We’re going back to the beginning to find out!

Recenzii

“Lively glimpses of formative moments and budding talents.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A fun and useful addition, especially for aspiring writers and class projects.”—School Library Journal, Paige Rowse, Needham High School, MA
 
“This is an ideal gift for aspiring young writers who may need proof that even the most famous authors had to start somewhere.”—Shelf Awareness for Readers

“[Kid Authors] was full of real information, but the author made it fun and funny … I would recommend this book for all people who read books and want to know interesting information about authors, and also for people who want to be authors themselves.”—Michael, age 9

Praise for Kid Presidents:
“Just like history class, only hilarious.”—Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever

“With cartoonish illustrations that will attract fans of Jeff Kinney’s The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Rachel Renée Russell’s The Dork Diaries, this informative offering leaves no presidential childhood rock unturned.”—School Library Journal

“Caricatures by Horner are whimsical and funny, a good match for a book that demonstrates that every president started life as a goofy, regular kid.”—Booklist

Praise for Kid Artists:
“Impressively diverse.”-Booklist

“For budding artists, here’s a heartening reminder that 17 unconventional greats—not to mention all the rest—started out as children too.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Memorably weird childhood moments—Jackson Pollock accidentally had part of a finger chopped off and then eaten by a rooster—are likely to stick with readers, as will Horner’s impish cartoons.”-Publishers Weekly

Praise for Kid Athletes:
“Outstanding...Inspiring and entertaining, Kid Athletes isn't just for sports fans.”—Booklist, starred review

“Even if you don’t exactly love sports, this book only says a little bit about them in the actual sport, so go out and get this book because it will teach you a lot and you will enjoy it immensely.”—Kidsday reporters, Newsday

“Perfect for the adolescent set, these inspiring stories mix fun and non-fiction.”—Geeks of Doom
