What is autobiography? Benefits of Autobiography Books for Kids Best 10 Books For Kids

Autobiography is a self-written life story. It is different from a biography, which is a life story written by someone else. Some people may have their own life story written by someone else because they are not sure if they can write well, but they are still considered authors because they are providing information. Reading autobiography can be more interesting than a biography because you are reading that person's thoughts rather than someone else's.
