One book that has meant much to my writing is W. G. Sebald's The Emigrants. He uses a photograph of Vladimir Nabokov hunting butterflies in a similar way.

When America was first made known to Europe, the part assumed by France on the borders of that new world was peculiar, and is little recognized.

Sea Hunt was the first time anyone tackled a show that took place underwater. The stories were sort of exciting for kids, like cops and robbers underwater.
Typing is an essential skill, but it can be painful. Some children just don't know where the letters are. Typing a three-page story, when they have to spend minutes hunting for every letter, can take forever. Yet we tend to assume that children can type, partly because quite a lot of us know where quite a lot of the letters are, so we assume that children do, too.
