This is a middle-grade chapter book that is perfect for elementary-aged kids. Since I have already written a few posts on storytelling, I figured I’d begin my look at Neil Gaiman’s writing by focusing on Fortunately, the Milk. Pick one…any one…and pay attention to the way he weaves a story, creates characters, and forms expectations, only to turn them upside down. They are bound to provide great inspiration to those on a creative journey. His books are original and exceptionally creative. He is an author that one can follow from childhood into adulthood. He has written a wide variety of books, in theme, tone and audience. If you are already familiar with Neil Gaiman, you know that he is an author who deftly uses language, tells unique stories and challenges genre norms. Over the course of time and several posts, I’m going to highlight a few books written by Neil Gaiman. It’s time to take a look at another creatively inspirational author.
