Picture books
Usually under 1,000 words, written for reading aloud with space for illustration.
A great children's book looks simple. Getting it there is anything but. Every word counts, the rhythm has to work when read aloud, and the text has to leave room for the pictures to do their part. Our children's book writers know how to do all three.
