Living Legacies: How to Write, Illustrate, and Share Your Life Stories
by Duane Elgin and Coleen LeDrew
Conari Press, 2000
ISBN 1-57324-552-6

This new book on writing life stories will be useful not only to parents and grandparents who may wish to leave an autobiographical legacy to their children and friends, but also for teachers to use as a colorful and effective guide for their students' biographical writing projects.  It covers why such a project is so important to families, how one might begin, writing tips, where to collect stories, how to illustrate them, and a useful resource guide. The book is filled with beautiful anecdotes and examples, and will surely be a springboard for those who are ready to dive into such a project, but may need the help this book offers.
