RUN RUN RUN. This is what the 12-year-old Annie likes to do. Running barefoot, you hear the heart beating ... Ham, snoring, snoring

This is a meaningful rhythm, everything is changing. Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather has forgotten, and her best friend, Max is always in a bad mood. As assigned to Apple Anne 100 times, everything is changing over time.

Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech tells this young girl who skillfully weaves this gentle and intuitive story and begins to understand the many rhythms of life in free poetry and the way she adapts to them.

"Friendly, retro creek, its richness is in its simplicity." - School Library Magazine (starring reviews)

When I learned that my daughter is looking forward to her first child, I wanted to know how it is to be a grandparent, and for those miracles The grandma treasure came to make soup. After finishing writing this book, I continued to explore the grandparents - and the newborn in my beating - even after my granddaughter was born.

When I was writing this book, I felt like I was accepting this pulse of Ann, this young girl who tried to put myself in this life. Where is she suitable for? She wondered what it was like to be old, what it would be like to be a baby, how she became her, who she is, why she is here Is it?

These are my problems in Ann's age when my grandparents are older, and my mother is my youngest brother. I feel like it is at the cutting edge balance of some important life clues and it is important to try to understand my position with a larger program.

Ann's art teacher painted 100 apples. My daughter accepted this work at school. She said learning more than anything else from this job!

Like Annie, I brought pure joy to running. It made me feel free and calming me. I am not running anymore, but I have gone a long way and I often have scenes or book-wide ideas in these walks.

Sharon Creech's heartbeat is about the life and age of young girl Anne. Through many rhythms of life, the author leads the reader to show how the hero adapts to the various situations occurring during the growth process. Creech took readers to his family from a close friend relationship and interacted with Annie's art teacher. He gave her 100 times to draw Apple's picture. Annie explains how to use ink, charcoal, pastel, acrylic to learn how to use creative artistic strokes.

HEARTBEAT is the latest work by Newbury's award-winning writer Sharon Creech. Like her best-selling book "Love Dog", HEARTBEAT is written in the same best-selling free verse, not focusing much on poetry and focusing on exploring the various emotional states of Ann I will. Crich's poem is a snapshot of Anne's feelings and experiences, an effective way to shorten the story. However, the impression of these verses is short lived. Instead of creating an image of the world of Anne, Crich repeatedly uses top level abstract languages.

Sharon Creek, born on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio, grew up in an active family. She found himself at the university, liked talking stories, and later found a high school English and literary career in the UK and Switzerland and spent 18 years in Europe. For Crich, education and travel provide the basis for perfect training to write novels. Her first two novels (published in the UK) were written for adults, but all of her subsequent work was written for the children. After Walk Two Moons won the Newberry medal in 1995, Sharon Creech stopped teaching and devoted himself to full-time writing. She lives in Pennington, New Jersey, her husband is the principal and there are two adults.
