About this lesson
Show, don't tell is a writing technique used to make a story interesting. Using a video of quail drinking water by photographer Maggie Lineberry and her own children's picture book as reference, author Barbara Renner explains the process. Follow along to learn how to write your own story about the quail in the video and email it to Barbara. In return she'll read your story on her YouTube channel and send you a coloring page from one of her Quincy the Quail picture books.
