Picture Book - Fiction
Caldecot Honor
Ages 7 and up
Willie loved to write - words gave him freedom and peace. But he also knew that he needed to earn a living, so when he grew up he went off to medical school and became a doctor - one of the busiest men in town! Yet he never stopped writing.
I enjoyed this book, because it followed like a story. It would be easy for kids to enjoy and it encourages writing. Willie was a poet and a doctor. It encourages kids that they can always find time to write and express themselves. This book was slightly fictionalized biography, but it uses a lot of quotes and facts. There is a timeline of his life at the back that also shows world events while he was alive which helps you put his life intro perspective.
