How To Write A Kids Book About Actors

By Sally Delacruz


Children always want to have people they look up to as they grow. Most of them look at actors and other stars as their idols and role models. This is why it may be necessary to write a kids book about actors. However, such a book should not just be written for the sake of writing. Great caution should be taken to prevent kids from developing bad attitudes or extremely admiring attitudes towards acting as a profession.

It must never be assumed by writers that because its kids book, it should not be written with care. As compared to writing for adults, kids book should always be handled with extra caution than all actors featured in these articles should not be made to appear like gods . Actors should always be real.

Some of the varied things that should be placed for considerations include; content type, levels of language, the number of pages and realism . These issues ought to be carefully observed to discourage wrong things from getting to the kids.

When writing for kids, writers should always ensure that the information exposed to children is not above them; it should be suitable and fit for kids. As most actors engage in immorality and social evils, their personal lives should never be exposed to the kids. Just as personal lives should never be included in writing kids book, some scenes in the actors movies should never be talked about to children as they may too be dirty yet writing about their immoral behavior may encourage or tempt the kids into engaging into those things.

The writer also needs to check his/her language. He/she should avoid use of vulgar words and pictures. Such language usually has a great negative impact on the development of minors. They are also likely to negatively affect the minds of children. They may grow thinking that it is normal to use vulgar language.

It is necessary to write few pages, and not many pages that cannot be read in a single session. This is because the kids do not have highly developed reading capabilities. Writing many pages may prove difficult for them. They will not read such work.

Even with all the other factors described above, the characters described in the books should not be made to look as if they are not human. They should be made to appear like normal human beings who have blood and flesh. If they are made to look unrealistic, children may think it is impossible to become an actor. They should, if possible, be developed from when they had nothing up to when they became superstars. This will challenge the kids to work hard.

The discussion above makes it clearly known that a lot of care must be exercised in writing books for children, especially actors. If care is not taken, the intended objectives may not be achieve, but the reverse of this.
