The authors composed in less than 10 hours, as they deepened their understanding of literary devices and sharpened their powers of observation and interpretation. Each learned to speak from the heart of a child, from the soul of an inanimate object, and to faithfully represent a character meticulously created from a photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will be touched and inspired, but Story Sprouts is also a rich reference tool for teachers and workshop leaders.
