Author Study
I have spent several hours studying three exceptional authors! Below are some of the most popular books by these authors! Eric Carle typically writes and illustrates children's picture books. Kate DiCamillo writes children's fictional literature, usually easy chapter books or novels. Both of their books often focus around animals, a love of most children. S.E. Hinton is a different type of writer. Although she writes books geared for young adults, some of her books have been banned from school. She writes from a realistic point of view and that is sometimes frowned upon. Her books do not always end with a "happy ending."
I have read books by all of these authors and find them all three to be phenomenal!
Eric Carle
Kate DiCamillo
S.E. Hinton
Three excellent choices, all very different. I had a high school senior tell me last week that Kate DiCamillo is still one of her favorite authors, and we spoke about her new book coming out, featuring one of my favorites -- a squirrel!
