Idea starters:

Not all stories are made-up. Some are true stories. These are called "non-fiction," and they are every bit as interesting as fairy tales and other kinds of stories.

You are much more interesting than you might think you are!

If YOU are excited about something, it is easy to get someone ELSE excited about it, too.
