Books with author Marilyn Pettit

The Livewire Shakespeare series seeks to provide lower ability pupils or pupils with special educational needs access to the true text of Shakespeare's plays. Each book gives the complete story of a play through plot summaries and illustrations in the form of non-patronising cartoon sequences. There are unabridged selections of real text which are integrated with extracts from key scenes and annotated for easy access.

What am I born to do? That is the question posed in Born to Pull: The Legend of Nanook that was written in response to the true life scenario on which the story was based. During the process of retelling the story from Nanook the puppy to Nanook the grown dog, a friend of mine remarked, "That would make a great children's book!" And on turned a light bulb that inspired writing the story. The second light bulb was telling the account from the point of view of the dog, and the last revelation was to relate how God made Nanook with special talents he was born to do and connect it to the importance of people continually asking themselves that same question.
