Hello,
amidst the many projects I have begun is one with which I have truly fallen in love. It is a story in ryhme that would appeal to children (especially girls) and most likely work well as a picture book. though i am not so sure about the age group (5-9?), I am concerned that it may be a bit too difficult for a child to read alone. I always pictured a parent reading it aloud to a child before bedtime, but then again, I have no children and am a bit out of touch as to what kids that age like or can handle (please don't tell me to go to a bookstore to check out the different books there...i live in a small mountain town in Austria--no bookstores here).
What are my options? Do I even have a children's audience here? I know it is difficult without a sample of the work, but think of it as Benet's Mountain Whipporwill (it is not a comparison by any means, but it can give you an idea as to the style) with a very fairytale like story fueling the rhyme.
best regards and thanks for your input.
