With the best elements of KID PRESIDENTS, KID ATHLETES and KID ARTISTS-colourful illustrations, kid-relatable subjects, and real stories of childhood conflict, comedy, and triumph-KID AUTHORS tells true tales from the childhoods of a wide range of the world's most beloved authors before they were famous. Did you know: Sam Clemens (AKA Mark Twain) loved to hold watermelon-seed-spitting contests, play hooky, and "borrow" boats to go fishing and digging for turtle eggs-with his best friend Tom, of course! Zora Neale Hurston first learned to walk when a hungry wild hog wandered into her house for some of her mother's cornbread and young Zora had to toddle her way to safety.
