Abstract: The below essay focuses on my thesis project, a children's book. Within the essay, you will find information on the benefits of children's books, specifically how they increase the academics of the children who read them. Along with this, my paper discusses underrepresented areas of children's literature, with a main focus on the Appalachian region. The essay then turns to focus on the specific elements of my book. The various elements include the reasoning behind the words, illustrations, and focus of the book.
