Chapter 5 - Point of View: The Window into your story

I've started reading Chapter 5 of From Inspiration to Publication and I'm a third of the way through the chapter. I've learned about first person story-telling and my assignment is to write a picture-book story from the first person point of view.

Challenges to consider:
1. How do I identify the narrator to my audience?
2. Where is my character in time relation to my story?
3. How do I adequately describe feelings?

I have a story that I have been trying to tell from the 3rd person perspective and it has been incredibly difficult. I will try from a first person perspective tonight and post for critique.
