A Children’s Book Adults Will Appreciate!
Show Notes with Links:
- Susan and Barbara talk about how they met and became collaborators on this project…and we discuss high altitude baking (with tips)!
- I tell them how I heard about their project from Barbara’s son (Chuck), who is my West Point classmate.
- The book is dedicated “To all our greats and grands”! We learn how many they have, and we talk about being grandmothers (and grandmother names)!
- Susan talks about the book’s message for the main character: TO DISCOVER HER TALENT AND WORTH. She explains the story’s journey, how is started, and how it evolved over time.
- I ask if Dr. Seuss inspired the rhyming cadence of the story.
- Number 7 is a rapper! I ask Susan to rap that section (and she does!)
- We laugh about Zero leaving her purse with number 7.
- Number 8 gives the best encouragement (I think!)
- Some numbers are a bit snarky with her, (starting with Numero Uno) and full of themselves…like some real characters children might meet.
- Barbara talks about her artwork and a scare she had while illustrating the book using Sketchbook on an old computer!
- Barbara will donate sale proceeds to the Wounded Warriors Project.
- I suggest future projects the two could work together on together!
- They share their favorite number(s)!
- Please support these two wonderful women by buying their book on Amazon and telling your friends about it…
