Teen Author's & Illustrators

“I am a 16-year-old who is interested in writing and illustrating a children’s book I’m embarking on a creative and challenging project.” Writing a children’s book requires a unique set of skills, including creating engaging characters, developing a compelling story, and using simple language that is easy for young readers to understand.”

My name is Antwan Settlers Jr. I am a 16-year-old student at Columbia High School. I play football, basketball, and baseball for my school and I really enjoy playing all sports in hopes of one day becoming a college or perhaps a professional athlete.
A class assignment led to writing the ABCs of Football, I want to encourage all students both young and old to not take these assignments for granted because they can possibly open the door to bigger dreams that you may have never thought of as this Art assignment did for me.
I hope all children enjoy the book, learn the fundamentals of football, and have fun learning their alphabets.
