A sprightly text and colorful illustrations follow two creative people-and a talkative dog and cat-through the writing process step by step, from the inspiration for a story to the satisfaction of sharing the book with readers. Eileen Christelow based this instructive picture book on questions children asked during her classroom talks around the country. Simple enough for young children to understand, and with the entertainment value of fiction, "What Do Authors Do?" is children's nonfiction at its best.

reviewed What Do Authors Do? on October 24, 2017 What Do Authors Do?
When I was in elementary school, Eileen Christelow came to my school and gave a presentation on being an author. I was the grandchild of a librarian and had two bookworms for parents, so my mom told me that if I had a chance to get signed books, then I needed to take advantage of it. So she got me a signed copy of this book. It was my first signed book EVER. I was so proud.
I poured over this book so many times as a kid that I think I could probably still recite it from memory. I had never really seen the process behind what went into making a book, and I found it so fascinating. I was a big bookworm, but I hadn't really considered HOW a book was made, just that I loved them. This book made it suddenly concrete for me that, oh, huh, *I* could be an author if I wanted to be. So I started making books.
This book was the first step on my path to becoming a published author myself. I'm not entirely sure how quickly I would have found writing without this book. It made the whole process so magical, and I think about it every time another one of my books is published. Thank you so much, Eileen, for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of being able to create books, rather than just reading them.
