Beschreibung:
Amy Ehrlich, the editor of WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, notes that "writing begins with observation. The authors in this collection, like all children, felt things deeply. But they were also able to observe their feelings and therefore remember them well. Those memories are a writer's most durable tool." Amy Ehrlich is the author of more than 25 books for young readers.
Children love to hear stories about when adults were little. Now ten award winning writers--including Avi, Francesca Block, Susan Cooper, and James Howe--tell young readers stories drawn from their own childhood memories.
