This week Karen Elliott is featuring Kid’s Week on her blog . She has invited some very talented children’s authors as guest bloggers. I was honoured to be included.
Writing for ‘Tweens’
Article by Darlene Foster
“Too many people grow up. That’s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don’t remember what it’s like to be 12 years old.” - Walt Disney
What inspired me to write children’s books? In some ways I don’t believe I have ever gone much past 12 years old myself. I relate well to children. Perhaps you have heard the saying – “You are only young once, but you can be immature forever!”
Read the rest of my article here and please comment.

I share your sentiments, Darlene! I think that’s why I write middle-grade books–I think that’s where my emotional and psychological development plateaued. I love the idea of a Kids’ Week!

I had a feeling we had a lot in common Sandra!

I think Kids’ Week was meant for August – kids and parents are thinking about “back to school” stuff, teachers are looking for books for their classrooms. And what a great week it has been! One more post tomorrow (and then I’m taking a week off!).

Great article in your guest post Darlene. I also realise now why we have so much in common – we have both decided not to move past 12! I thoroughly enjoyed both your quotes – sentiments I can relate to!

Thanks so much Sharon. I just knew we had a strong connection. Here’s to not growing up! It has been fun conversing through our blogs today. (Almost like having you here for a visit – I’ll put the tea on)
