Vicarious Revelations: How Stories Inspire and Inform
Dimity Powell
Living vicariously allows one to venture into the unknown, experience emotional expansion and uncover a life less ordinary, but how do you harness the magic of discovery in children’s literature? This session will help you to explore the best questions to ask to elicit wonderment and realism when creating children’s stories.
