If I ask the same question “How will I write a children's book?” it tells me who the main character of the story is. In first person the narrator is the main character and the reader is more likely to see himself as the character. Therefore, if the character doesn't look like the child, he may be confused about how he connects with him. I think this is why "we will find that the vast majority of books will be told as an external narrator" (p. 31). The third-person perspective allows the listener and reader to step out of their own mind and answer questions from a different perspective. It makes the listener consider another's point of view and see any redeeming qualities in them to understand their side. “Staying in the mind of a character allows the listener to know who to focus on and identify with” (p. 33). While other points of view can get the point across, to me the reader should experience certain things and by using the first person point of view it might make them consider their own story. I think it's hard to stick to one point of view. As you can see in this essay, I've looked at all three narratives, and that's not what a picture book should do. I've gone from talking to you, the reader, to giving my opinion and giving insight into other people's perspectives. If a child read this, they would probably be confused about who I am writing to or about. One of the key things to remember is “once you start a picture book a certain way, stick to it” (p. 36). Focus is especially essential in photos of children
