Opis

The perspectives of children, teachers and professional writers are often absent in the pedagogy of writing. This title responds to such silent voices and offers a text gives expression to these voices, making a new and significant contribution to understanding what it means to be a writer.

Recenzje

"It’s fantastic from my point of view as both an oral storyteller and a writer that the book gives attention throughout to what people at all levels say about writing. It listens to their voices." - Mary Medlicott, Early Learning website
