Picture Book Prompt 105

“Anyone who was once a child should have at least one children’s book in them.” —Michael Rosen

We all carry stories from our childhood—memories that shaped us, moments that still glow, or shadows we’ve worked to overcome.

Take twelve minutes to list a series of childhood moments that left a mark on you. Perhaps:

• A time you felt truly seen
• A small triumph that seemed enormous then
• A fear you faced (or didn’t)
• A question that puzzled you
• A ritual that brought comfort

Choose one. Use that as a jumping-off point for a story.
