iVillage.com recently hit up the celebrity-filled New York premiere of My Sister's Keeper.

The new movie tells the story of a young girl who sues her parents for the right to her own body, after they want to use her kidney to help save her cancer-stricken sister's life.

Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Sofia Vassilieva and Jason Patric were just a few of the stars to walk the red carpet.

We caught up with Jodi Picoult, the author of the best-selling book -- which the movie is based on --to learn more about her work, family, and what you can do to get your kids writing.



















My Sister's Keeper is in theaters today.
