+### Textarea
+
+Renders a `<textarea>` element that uses a callback function to pass its value to the parent component.
+
+Use object destructuring to set defaults for certain attributes of the `<textarea>` element.
+Render a `<textarea>` element with the appropriate attributes and use the `callback` function in the `onChange` event to pass the value of the textarea to the parent.
+
+```jsx
+function TextArea ({ callback, cols = 20, rows = 2, disabled = false, readOnly = false, placeholder='' }) {
+  return (
+    <textarea 
+      cols={cols}
+      rows={rows}
+      disabled={disabled} 
+      readOnly={readOnly} 
+      placeholder={placeholder}
+      onChange={(event) => callback(event.target.value)} 
+    />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+```jsx
+ReactDOM.render(
+  <TextArea type='text' placeholder='Insert some text here...' callback={(val) => console.log(val)}/>,
+  document.getElementById('root')
+);
+```
