Welcome to Day 6 for Author Suzanne Lieurance-Children's author and Writing coach.

Day 6 - Become a Fan of Children's Author Suzanne Lieurance- I can personally say that Suzanne is the best writing coach I have worked with and her new book is a good example of her work. Suzanne has a knack for teaching and encouraging because she has been there and is successful. Read on to find out more about this children's author and coach, and make sure you check out the links to all the information she shares.

Welcome to Day 6 of my virtual tour for my book The Lucky Baseball: My Story in a Japanese-American Internment Camp. I hope you will become a fan of this book and all my books. I love to write both fiction and nonfiction for children and teens and I'm currently working on my 24th book. Here's a short description of The Lucky Baseball, just in case you haven't been following my tour or you've never heard of the book. If you're a teacher, school librarian, or a homeschooling parent, be sure to download the free Educator's Guide that goes with the book -- it's available for download at my website (URL is included, below).



About the Book: The Lucky Baseball: My Story in a Japanese-American Internment Camp

Harry Yakamoto lives with his father and grandparents above the restaurant they operate in Seven Cedars, CA. His prized possession is a signed baseball from Joe DiMaggio. As Japanese-Americans in the early 1940s, Harry and his family often face discrimination, but things get worse after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Yakamotos are forced to relocate to the Manzanar Internment Camp, where they live in close quarters, eat meals in a mess hall, and share a communal bathroom. Determined to make the best of the situation, Harry organizes a baseball team and improves his pitching, thanks to a kindly guard who gives him some pointers.

Besides writing for children, I'm also a fulltime freelance writer and the Working Writer's Coach (which means I help other writers turn their love of writing into a career).

Be sure to learn more about the club if you're interested in becoming a children's book author yourself.
