How to write stories - Conversation with Menaka Raman, a children’s author

Children come up with ideas and stories like magicians pulling rabbits out of hats-nobody knows how, but it’s endlessly entertaining. It’s a mix of imagination (and maybe a little too much candy). But how can they turn their ideas into a well-written story? Menaka Raman, an award-winning children’s author, joins us in this episode. She chats with five young, budding authors about the tricks in her bag for writing great stories.
