Hi,
4:21
Papa
4:21
Rick.
4:22
My
4:22
name
4:22
is
4:22
Denise
4:23
Caesar.
4:24
The
4:24
full
4:24
name
4:25
of
4:25
my
4:25
book
4:25
is
4:26
Moments
4:26
in
4:26
Motion
4:27
with
4:27
Love.
4:28
Thank
4:28
you
4:28
for
4:28
joining
4:29
us
4:29
on
4:29
the
4:29
adventures
4:30
in
4:31
the
4:31
heart
4:31
of
4:31
children's
4:32
book
4:32
authors.
4:33
I
4:33
definitely
4:34
love
4:34
supporting
4:35
other
4:35
children's
4:36
book
4:36
authors.
4:37
Can
4:37
you
4:37
describe
4:38
your
4:38
book,
4:38
the
4:38
inspiration
4:40
behind
4:40
your
4:41
book?
4:41
I'd
4:41
like
4:41
to
4:42
delve
4:42
a
4:42
bit
4:43
deeper
4:43
into
4:44
inspiration
4:45
and
4:46
how
4:46
it
4:46
all
4:46
started.
4:47
It
4:48
goes
4:48
all
4:48
the
4:48
way
4:48
back
4:48
to
4:49
2020.
4:49
During
4:50
COVID
4:50
we
4:51
were
4:51
all
4:51
on
4:51
lockdown,
4:52
especially
4:52
in
4:52
New
4:53
York
4:53
City.
4:53
All
4:54
schools
4:54
shut
4:54
down.
4:54
I
4:55
worked
4:55
as
4:55
a
4:55
speech
4:56
language
4:56
pathologist
4:57
for
4:57
over
4:57
25
4:58
years
4:58
in
4:58
the
4:58
school
4:59
at
4:59
that
4:59
time.
5:00
I
5:00
can't
5:00
believe
5:00
how
5:00
much
5:01
time
5:01
has
5:01
passed.
5:02
It's
5:02
going
5:02
to
5:02
be
5:02
2025.
5:03
We're
5:03
coming
5:03
into.
5:04
During
5:05
that
5:05
time,
5:05
we
5:06
were
5:06
thrown
5:07
virtually
5:07
online
5:08
as
5:08
a
5:08
speech
5:08
pathologist.
5:09
We
5:09
were
5:09
live.
5:10
We
5:10
had
5:10
to
5:10
do
5:10
speech
5:10
therapy
5:11
online.
5:12
Some
5:12
of
5:12
the
5:12
children
5:13
that
5:13
I
5:13
worked
5:13
with
5:14
are
5:14
fragile
5:14
and
5:15
they're
5:15
autistic
5:16
and
5:16
they
5:17
are.
5:17
Besides
5:18
all
5:18
children,
5:19
they
5:19
themselves
5:19
were
5:20
really
5:20
confused.
5:21
And
5:21
as
5:21
the
5:22
days
5:22
and
5:23
weeks
5:23
and
5:23
months
5:23
went
5:24
on,
5:24
I
5:24
saw
5:24
the
5:25
disconnect
5:25
in
5:25
their
5:26
eyes
5:26
and
5:26
their
5:26
heart,
5:27
and
5:27
that
5:28
really
5:28
was
5:29
heavy
5:29
on
5:29
me.
5:30
So
5:30
I
5:30
went
5:31
to
5:31
sleep
5:31
one
5:31
night
5:32
and
5:32
I
5:32
prayed
5:33
in
5:33
May,
5:34
late
5:34
May,
5:35
so
5:35
March,
5:35
April,
5:35
May,
5:36
by
5:36
May,
5:37
I
5:37
saw
5:37
them.
5:37
I
5:38
was
5:38
like,
5:38
no,
5:38
this
5:38
is
5:39
something.
5:39
I
5:40
said,
5:40
I
5:40
need
5:40
something
5:40
to
5:41
help
5:41
these
5:41
children,
5:42
these
5:42
beautiful
5:42
children.
5:43
And
5:43
believe
5:44
it
5:44
or
5:44
not,
5:44
I
5:44
woke
5:45
up
5:45
with
5:45
the
5:45
book.
5:46
Now,
5:46
what
5:46
I'm
5:46
going
5:47
to
5:47
say
5:47
about
5:47
that
5:47
is
5:48
I
5:48
could
5:49
have
5:49
ignored
5:49
it
5:49
and
5:49
went
5:50
back
5:50
to
5:50
sleep.
5:51
I
5:51
could
5:51
have
5:51
not
5:52
done
5:52
anything.
5:53
I
5:53
learned
5:53
not
5:53
to
5:53
have
5:54
a
5:54
pen
5:54
by
5:54
my
5:54
bed.
5:55
I
5:55
didn't.
5:55
But
5:55
I
5:56
spoke
5:56
it
5:56
with
5:56
these
5:56
phones
5:57
that
5:57
we
5:57
have
5:57
by
5:57
our
5:58
bed.
5:58
I
5:58
spoke
5:59
it
5:59
into
5:59
my
5:59
phone
6:00
and
6:00
then
6:00
I
6:00
woke
6:00
up
6:01
my
6:01
husband
6:01
and
6:01
said,
6:02
oh
6:02
my
6:02
goodness,
6:03
I
6:03
wrote
6:03
about
6:03
this.
6:05
What
6:06
do
6:06
you
6:06
mean?
6:07
So
6:07
with
6:07
that
6:08
said,
6:08
I
6:08
read
6:09
it
6:09
to
6:09
him
6:09
and
6:09
he
6:09
went,
6:10
read
6:10
it
6:11
again.
6:11
And
6:12
he
6:12
went,
6:13
oh,
6:14
that's
6:15
something.
6:15
What
6:15
I
6:15
want
6:16
to
6:16
say
6:16
to
6:16
the
6:16
listeners
6:17
is
6:17
that
6:18
at
6:18
that
6:18
time
6:18
I
6:19
had
6:19
met
6:19
a
6:19
publisher
6:20
and
6:21
I
6:21
was
6:21
in
6:21
the
6:22
process.
6:22
Life
6:23
brings
6:23
you
6:23
through
6:24
different
6:24
journeys.
6:25
I
6:25
was
6:25
in
6:25
her
6:25
places
6:26
when
6:26
I
6:26
met
6:26
her
6:27
in
6:27
January
6:28
2020
6:29
of
6:29
writing
6:29
an
6:29
adult
6:30
prescriptive
6:31
narrative
6:31
of
6:32
self
6:32
help,
6:32
of
6:33
getting
6:33
through
6:33
things
6:34
during
6:35
dark
6:35
times.
6:35
Who
6:36
knew
6:36
that
6:36
this
6:36
book
6:37
would
6:37
come.
6:38
I
6:38
immediately
6:39
texted
6:39
her
6:39
and
6:39
said,
6:40
wait,
6:40
something
6:41
just
6:41
happened.
6:41
I
6:42
woke
6:42
up
6:42
with
6:42
the
6:43
book
6:43
and
6:43
you
6:44
need
6:44
to
6:44
hear
6:44
me.
6:45
So
6:45
she
6:45
called
6:45
me
6:46
right
6:46
away.
6:46
She's
6:47
like,
6:47
what
6:47
are
6:47
you
6:47
talking
6:47
about?
6:48
And
6:48
I
6:48
read
6:48
and
6:48
she
6:48
went,
6:49
oh,
6:49
yes,
6:50
we
6:51
must
6:51
publish
6:52
this
6:52
book
6:52
right
6:52
away.
6:53
And
6:53
then
6:53
the
6:54
thing
6:54
that
6:54
solidified
6:55
it
6:55
all
6:55
is,
6:56
my
6:56
son
6:56
was
6:56
in
6:56
college
6:57
and
6:58
he
6:58
must
6:58
come
6:59
home.
6:59
He
6:59
was
6:59
in
6:59
lockdown.
7:00
And
7:00
I
7:01
FaceTimed
7:02
him
7:02
and
7:02
I
7:02
read
7:03
him
7:03
the
7:03
book
7:03
and
7:04
he
7:04
genuinely
7:05
just
7:05
cried.
7:06
I
7:06
get
7:06
emotional
7:07
about
7:07
that
7:07
because
7:07
then
7:08
I
7:08
knew
7:08
it
7:08
tapped
7:08
into
7:09
something.
7:09
And
7:10
it's
7:10
bigger
7:11
than
7:11
me,
7:11
the
7:11
book,
7:11
because
7:11
it
7:11
came
7:12
to
7:12
me
7:12
in
7:12
my
7:12
sleep.
7:13
In
7:13
understanding
7:13
the
7:14
book,
7:14
the
7:14
thing
7:14
I
7:14
liked
7:15
about
7:15
it
7:15
most.
7:15
And
7:16
I've
7:16
got
7:16
a
7:16
couple
7:17
interesting
7:17
stories,
7:18
stories
7:18
I'll
7:19
share
7:19
with
7:19
you
7:19
because
7:20
of
7:20
my
7:20
grandchildren.
7:21
I
7:21
think
7:21
you'll
7:22
appreciate
7:22
it.
7:22
But
7:23
you
7:23
talk
7:24
about
7:24
starting
7:25
conversations
7:27
and
7:27
helping
7:28
heal
7:29
children
7:29
through
7:30
the
7:30
stress
7:30
of
7:30
the
7:31
pandemic.
7:32
Explain
7:32
that
7:32
to
7:32
me.
7:33
How
7:33
many
7:33
conversations
7:34
did
7:34
you
7:34
have
7:35
that
7:35
kind
7:36
of
7:36
fertilized
7:37
your
7:37
mind
7:38
to
7:38
put
7:39
everything
7:39
to
7:39
paper?
7:40
By
7:40
May,
7:41
I
7:41
knew
7:41
that
7:41
I
7:42
had
7:42
to
7:42
find
7:43
something.
7:44
And
7:44
when
7:44
I
7:44
was
7:44
with
7:44
them,
7:45
talking
7:45
with
7:45
them,
7:46
I
7:46
told
7:46
especially,
7:47
like,
7:48
communication
7:49
is
7:49
everything,
7:49
especially
7:50
in
7:50
the
7:50
world
7:50
of
7:50
children
7:51
with
7:51
disabilities,
7:51
that
7:52
they
7:52
need
7:52
to
7:53
be
7:53
like
7:53
how
7:54
we
7:54
are
7:54
right
7:54
now
7:54
with
7:55
our
7:55
podcast.
7:56
We're
7:57
looking
7:57
at
7:57
each
7:57
other.
7:57
Social
7:58
communication
7:59
is
7:59
everything.
8:00
They
8:00
were
8:00
lacking
8:01
that
8:01
being
8:01
in
8:01
school,
8:02
the
8:02
importance
8:03
of
8:04
staying
8:05
true
8:05
to
8:05
being
8:06
in
8:06
the
8:06
moment.
8:06
Because
8:07
this
8:07
was
8:07
moment
8:07
by
8:08
moment
8:08
that
8:08
was
8:08
going
8:08
on.
8:09
We
8:09
didn't
8:09
know
8:09
what
8:09
was
8:10
next.
8:10
The
8:10
moment,
8:11
emotion
8:11
with
8:12
love.
8:12
I
8:12
wanted
8:13
them
8:13
to
8:13
first.
8:13
The
8:13
book
8:14
is
8:14
about
8:14
loving
8:14
yourself,
8:15
loving
8:16
each
8:16
other,
8:16
and
8:17
then
8:17
loving
8:17
the
8:17
planet
8:18
on
8:18
a
8:18
whole
8:18
bigger
8:19
scale.
8:19
Because
8:20
if
8:20
you
8:20
don't
8:20
love
8:20
yourself,
8:21
you
8:21
can't
8:21
love
8:21
anything
8:22
else.
8:22
That's
8:23
where
8:23
that
8:23
came
8:23
from.
8:24
So
8:24
I
8:24
touched
8:25
that
8:25
semester
8:26
or
8:26
that
8:26
year
8:26
of
8:26
school.
8:27
I
8:27
had
8:27
over
8:28
35
8:29
students
8:29
that
8:29
I
8:30
would
8:30
be
8:30
seeing
8:31
now.
8:31
Were
8:31
you
8:31
still
8:32
able
8:33
to
8:33
see
8:34
them
8:34
through
8:35
the
8:35
power
8:36
of
8:36
Zoom?
8:37
Yes.
8:38
So
8:38
with
8:38
the
8:38
power
8:38
of
8:39
Google,
8:39
meet
8:40
all
8:40
these
8:40
things
8:40
that
8:40
they
8:40
were
8:41
coming
8:41
up
8:41
with.
8:41
Right.
8:42
It
8:42
was
8:42
a
8:43
platform
8:43
like
8:44
Zoom
8:44
where
8:45
technology.
8:46
Did
8:46
they
8:46
know
8:46
how
8:47
to
8:47
do
8:47
that?
8:48
I
8:48
couldn't
8:48
agree
8:48
with
8:49
you
8:49
more.
8:49
Did
8:50
they
8:50
know
8:50
what
8:50
to
8:50
do?
8:51
They
8:51
weren't
8:51
trained,
8:51
the
8:52
parents.
8:52
The
8:52
only
8:53
flip
8:53
side
8:53
of
8:54
this
8:54
that
8:54
was
8:54
really
8:54
great
8:55
is
8:55
that
8:56
I
8:56
got
8:56
to
8:56
do
8:57
speech
8:57
therapy
8:57
with
8:58
the
8:58
parents
8:58
there.
8:59
So
8:59
not
9:00
only
9:01
did
9:01
they
9:02
get
9:03
the
9:03
benefit
9:03
of
9:03
learning
9:04
what
9:04
I
9:04
do,
9:05
they
9:05
were
9:05
able
9:05
to
9:06
carry
9:06
it
9:06
over.
9:06
So
9:07
that
9:07
was
9:07
the
9:07
plus
9:07
of
9:07
it.
9:08
Almost
9:08
like
9:08
some
9:08
coaching
9:09
going
9:09
on
9:10
that
9:10
normally
9:11
just
9:11
wouldn't
9:11
happen
9:11
with
9:12
the
9:12
parents.
9:12
So
9:13
much
9:13
positivity,
9:14
as
9:14
much
9:14
as
9:14
there
9:14
was
9:14
a
9:14
lot
9:15
of
9:15
heaviness,
9:16
there
9:16
was
9:16
a
9:16
lot
9:16
of
9:17
positivity
9:17
that
9:17
came
9:18
out
9:18
of
9:18
some
9:19
things.
9:19
I
9:19
met
9:19
them
9:20
personally.
9:20
We
9:21
became
9:21
friends
9:22
from.
9:22
It
9:22
was
9:22
different.
9:23
It
9:23
was
9:23
something.
9:24
There
9:24
was
9:24
something
9:25
special
9:25
about
9:25
it.
9:26
Right.
9:26
There
9:26
were
9:26
days
9:27
where
9:27
we
9:27
all
9:27
wanted
9:27
to
9:28
throw
9:28
ourselves
9:28
on
9:28
the
9:28
floor.
9:29
It's
9:29
interesting,
9:29
you
9:30
Just
9:30
say
9:30
that.
9:30
Because
9:31
with
9:32
five
9:32
grandchildren
9:33
and
9:33
there
9:33
was
9:34
restrictive
9:34
rules,
9:35
but
9:35
at
9:35
the
9:35
end
9:35
of
9:35
the
9:36
day,
9:36
you
9:37
know
9:37
what?
9:37
It's
9:37
your
9:38
family
9:38
and
9:39
what
9:39
I've
9:39
been
9:40
doing
9:40
with
9:40
my
9:40
grandchildren.
9:41
We've
9:41
written
9:42
over
9:42
38
9:43
stories.
9:43
We've
9:43
only
9:44
published
9:44
one
9:45
book,
9:45
and
9:45
we're
9:45
about
9:46
to
9:46
publish
9:46
a
9:46
second
9:47
book.
9:48
What
9:48
we
9:48
did
9:48
is
9:49
I
9:49
said,
9:49
you
9:50
know
9:50
what?
9:50
I've
9:51
got
9:51
their
9:51
young
9:52
children's
9:53
voices.
9:53
Let's
9:54
turn
9:54
it
9:54
into
9:55
audiobooks.
9:56
And
9:57
so
9:57
that's
9:57
what
9:57
we've
9:58
been
9:58
doing.
9:58
But
9:58
what's
9:58
interesting
9:59
is
10:00
one
10:00
of
10:00
my
10:00
granddaughters,
10:01
my
10:02
youngest
10:02
granddaughters,
10:03
the
10:03
pandemic
10:04
didn't
10:04
sit
10:04
well
10:05
with
10:05
her
10:05
at.
10:06
Like
10:06
it
10:06
did
10:06
for
10:07
more.
10:07
How
10:07
old
10:07
is
10:07
she?
10:08
She
10:08
would
10:08
have
10:08
been
10:09
eight.
10:10
Oh,
10:10
that
10:11
was.
10:11
Those
10:11
were
10:12
the
10:12
children
10:12
I
10:12
was
10:12
working
10:13
with.
10:13
Perfect.
10:14
So
10:14
you're
10:14
going
10:15
to
10:15
love
10:15
this
10:15
story.
10:15
I
10:16
decided,
10:16
you
10:16
know
10:17
what?
10:17
We.
10:18
We're
10:18
doing
10:18
these
10:19
audio
10:19
books.
10:20
But
10:20
she
10:20
was
10:20
more
10:20
interested
10:21
in
10:22
being
10:22
interviewed.
10:23
Believe
10:23
it
10:23
or
10:24
not,
10:24
we
10:25
used
10:25
the
10:26
pandemic
10:27
and
10:27
the
10:27
circumstances
10:28
around
10:29
the
10:29
pandemic
10:30
and
10:30
her
10:30
not
10:31
being
10:31
able
10:31
to
10:31
go
10:31
to
10:32
school.
10:32
She.
10:33
This
10:33
is
10:33
how
10:34
she
10:34
went
10:34
to
10:34
school
10:35
on
10:35
Zoom.
10:36
I
10:36
tried
10:36
to
10:36
delve
10:37
into
10:38
what
10:38
she
10:38
liked
10:39
and
10:39
what
10:39
she
10:39
disliked
10:40
about
10:40
the
10:41
whole
10:41
process.
10:42
She
10:42
certainly
10:43
didn't
10:43
like
10:44
being
10:45
in
10:45
this
10:46
type
10:46
of
10:46
environment.
10:47
She
10:47
likes
10:47
the
10:48
live
10:48
stuff.
10:49
So
10:49
that
10:49
was
10:50
really
10:50
tough.
10:50
But
10:51
then
10:51
on
10:51
top
10:51
of
10:52
that,
10:52
which
10:52
was.
10:53
I
10:53
don't
10:53
know
10:53
if
10:53
this
10:53
is
10:54
insightful,
10:54
but
10:55
she
10:55
said
10:55
to
10:55
me,
10:56
she
10:56
said,
10:57
a
10:57
lot
10:57
of
10:57
these
10:58
kids
10:58
are
10:58
using
10:59
this
10:59
as
10:59
an
10:59
excuse
11:00
to
11:00
slack
11:00
off.
11:01
She's
11:02
smarter
11:02
than
11:02
our
11:02
years.
11:03
Yeah.
11:03
Yeah.
11:04
So
11:04
I
11:04
was
11:04
like.
11:05
That
11:05
caught
11:05
me
11:06
totally
11:06
off
11:07
guard
11:07
because
11:07
she
11:08
realized
11:08
that
11:08
some
11:09
of
11:09
the
11:09
kids
11:10
were
11:10
just
11:11
handling
11:12
it
11:12
the
11:12
same
11:12
as
11:12
her.
11:13
They
11:13
were
11:14
pretty
11:14
normal.
11:15
They
11:15
were
11:15
resilient.
11:16
But
11:17
they
11:17
were.
11:17
Some
11:17
of
11:18
them
11:18
were
11:18
using
11:19
their
11:19
resilience
11:20
to
11:21
smoke.
11:22
The
11:22
teacher.
11:22
Oh,
11:23
that's
11:23
so
11:23
funny.
11:23
It's.
11:24
I
11:24
gotta
11:24
laugh
11:25
with
11:25
you
11:25
because
11:26
a
11:26
lot
11:26
of
11:26
things,
11:26
they're
11:27
inventive.
11:28
They
11:28
would
11:28
figure
11:28
out.
11:29
They
11:29
would
11:29
trick
11:29
their
11:29
parents,
11:30
too.
11:30
So
11:30
interesting,
11:31
though.
11:31
She's
11:32
smarter
11:32
than
11:32
her
11:33
years.
11:33
But
11:33
it
11:34
is
11:34
true.
11:34
And
11:35
I
11:35
don't
11:35
know,
11:36
you
11:36
know,
11:36
about.
11:37
Were
11:37
they
11:37
slagging
11:38
or
11:38
were
11:38
they.
11:39
The
11:39
wellness
11:40
of
11:40
mental
11:40
health
11:41
and
11:41
the
11:41
social
11:42
emotional
11:43
components
11:43
of
11:44
that.
11:45
Some
11:45
of
11:45
them
11:46
really
11:46
couldn't
11:46
wrap
11:47
their
11:47
head.
11:47
I
11:48
just.
11:48
It
11:48
was
11:49
her
11:49
perception,
11:50
but
11:50
she
11:50
was
11:50
correct,
11:51
too.
11:51
But
11:51
there
11:52
was
11:52
some
11:52
who
11:52
were
11:52
like,
11:53
God,
11:53
that
11:53
knew
11:54
I
11:54
could
11:54
get
11:54
away
11:54
with.
11:55
I
11:55
could
11:55
get
11:55
away
11:55
with
11:55
something
11:56
here
11:56
because
11:57
I'm
11:57
on
11:58
the
11:58
moon.
11:58
Oh,
11:58
it's
11:59
interesting
11:59
because
11:59
you
12:00
know
12:00
that
12:00
you've
12:00
probably
12:01
heard
12:01
the
12:02
term
12:02
short
12:03
Covid,
12:03
long
12:03
Covid,
12:04
all
12:04
that
12:05
and
12:05
you
12:05
wonder,
12:06
and
12:07
maybe
12:07
you
12:07
can
12:07
talk
12:08
to
12:08
this.
12:08
I'm
12:08
quite
12:08
interested
12:09
in
12:09
this,
12:09
is
12:10
that
12:10
here
12:10
we
12:10
are
12:11
four
12:11
years
12:11
later
12:12
and
12:13
I'm
12:14
curious
12:14
on
12:16
what
12:16
you're
12:17
seeing.
12:18
Is
12:18
there
12:18
some
12:18
children,
12:19
like
12:20
once
12:20
they
12:20
were
12:21
out
12:21
of
12:21
lockdown,
12:22
everything
12:22
went
12:23
back
12:23
to
12:23
normal.
12:24
And
12:24
then
12:25
how
12:26
did
12:26
you
12:26
see
12:26
it
12:27
impacting
12:27
the
12:27
children?
12:28
So
12:29
did
12:29
everything
12:29
go
12:29
back
12:30
to
12:30
normal?
12:30
That's
12:30
the
12:31
first
12:31
question.
12:32
So
12:32
there
12:32
was
12:32
a
12:33
particular
12:33
group
12:34
of
12:34
children
12:34
that
12:35
lost
12:36
the
12:36
most.
12:36
I
12:36
believe
12:37
the
12:37
younger
12:38
kindergartners,
12:39
first
12:39
grade,
12:40
second
12:40
grade.
12:41
Right.
12:41
They
12:42
were
12:42
that
12:43
funnel
12:43
that
12:44
was
12:44
at
12:44
the
12:44
formative
12:45
years
12:45
of
12:46
learning
12:46
that
12:47
they
12:47
lost
12:47
a
12:47
lot.
12:48
So
12:48
I
12:48
would
12:49
say
12:49
that
12:49
is.
12:50
That
12:50
is
12:50
crucial
12:50
to
12:51
them.
12:51
They're
12:51
behind,
12:52
they're
12:52
always
12:52
trying
12:52
to
12:53
catch
12:53
up.
12:53
Unless
12:53
you
12:54
were
12:54
really.
12:54
Like
12:55
I
12:55
said,
12:55
my
12:55
students
12:56
were
12:56
challenged.
12:57
Some
12:57
of
12:58
them,
12:58
some
12:58
of
12:58
them
12:58
were
12:59
autistic,
12:59
not
12:59
all
12:59
of
13:00
them.
13:00
Some
13:00
had
13:01
language
13:01
processing.
13:02
What
13:02
is
13:02
your
13:03
modality
13:03
of
13:03
learning?
13:04
Some
13:04
people
13:04
excelled
13:05
with
13:05
this.
13:06
They
13:06
love
13:06
this
13:07
being
13:08
zooming
13:08
or
13:09
whatever
13:09
we
13:09
were
13:10
doing
13:10
virtually,
13:10
they
13:11
loved
13:11
it.
13:11
It
13:12
was
13:12
something
13:12
that
13:12
meant
13:13
they
13:13
felt
13:13
comfortable,
13:14
more
13:14
comfortable
13:15
than
13:15
being
13:15
in
13:15
a
13:16
classroom.
13:16
But
13:16
for
13:17
sure
13:17
it
13:17
was
13:17
just
13:18
so
13:18
above
13:19
them
13:19
that
13:19
they
13:19
didn't
13:20
even
13:20
know
13:20
how
13:20
to
13:20
deal
13:20
with
13:21
it.
13:21
But
13:21
what
13:22
I
13:22
will
13:22
say
13:23
about
13:24
students,
13:24
that
13:24
one
13:25
group
13:25
is
13:26
really,
13:26
that's
13:27
where
13:27
that's
13:28
formative.
13:29
And
13:29
those
13:29
kindergarten,
13:30
first
13:30
and
13:30
second
13:31
grade,
13:31
pre
13:31
K
13:31
to
13:32
2,
13:32
second
13:32
grade
13:33
was
13:33
the
13:33
most
13:34
children
13:35
that
13:35
were
13:35
affected
13:35
by
13:36
it
13:36
and
13:36
will
13:36
still
13:37
be
13:37
affected
13:37
by
13:37
it
13:38
unless
13:38
they're
13:39
working
13:39
towards
13:40
filling
13:41
that
13:41
gap.
13:42
Were
13:42
there
13:42
some
13:42
surprising
13:43
results
13:44
through
13:45
your
13:45
book?
13:45
Like
13:46
you
13:46
talk
13:46
about,
13:46
there's
13:47
more
13:47
exercises,
13:49
how
13:49
you
13:49
bonded
13:50
with
13:50
some
13:50
of
13:50
the
13:50
parents.
13:51
Tell
13:51
us
13:52
about
13:52
that.
13:53
There's
13:53
a
13:53
lot
13:53
of
13:54
interesting
13:54
things
13:55
with
13:55
my
13:55
book,
13:55
like
13:55
things
13:56
that
13:56
people
13:56
would
13:57
say
13:57
that
13:58
like
13:58
when
13:58
I
13:58
would
13:59
like,
13:59
like
13:59
when
14:00
we
14:00
were
14:00
coming
14:00
out
14:00
of
14:01
the
14:01
pandemic.
14:02
So
14:02
maybe
14:03
2021,
14:04
when
14:04
my
14:04
book
14:05
came
14:05
out,
14:05
then
14:06
we
14:06
were
14:06
able
14:06
to
14:06
be
14:07
out
14:07
there
14:07
a
14:07
little
14:08
bit
14:08
more.
14:08
In
14:08
the
14:08
beginning
14:09
of
14:09
when
14:09
my
14:09
book
14:09
came
14:10
out,
14:10
I
14:10
couldn't
14:10
do
14:11
a
14:11
book
14:11
launch
14:11
because
14:11
it
14:11
was
14:12
still
14:12
too
14:12
new.
14:13
But
14:13
like
14:13
September
14:14
2021,
14:16
it
14:16
was
14:16
a
14:17
whole
14:17
different
14:17
ball
14:18
game.
14:18
When
14:18
we
14:18
did
14:19
go
14:19
back
14:19
to
14:19
school
14:20
because
14:20
I
14:20
was
14:20
virtually
14:21
home,
14:21
but
14:22
then
14:22
everybody
14:22
was
14:23
home.
14:23
But
14:23
then
14:23
there
14:24
was
14:24
some
14:24
people
14:24
hybrid
14:25
in
14:25
school,
14:25
out
14:25
of
14:26
school.
14:26
Then
14:26
when
14:27
I
14:27
went
14:27
back,
14:28
we
14:28
still
14:28
had
14:28
to
14:29
wear
14:29
the
14:29
mask.
14:30
So
14:30
wearing
14:30
the
14:30
mask
14:31
was
14:31
a
14:31
nature's
14:32
joke
14:32
because
14:32
people
14:33
can't
14:33
see
14:33
your
14:33
face,
14:34
can't
14:34
see
14:34
someone
14:35
smiling,
14:35
can't
14:36
pick
14:36
up
14:36
these
14:37
nuances
14:37
of
14:37
what's
14:38
real,
14:38
a
14:39
real
14:39
interaction
14:40
with
14:40
each
14:40
other.
14:41
This
14:41
is
14:41
one
14:41
story.
14:42
It's
14:42
going
14:42
to
14:42
make
14:42
me
14:42
Cry.
14:43
I'm
14:43
going
14:43
to
14:43
try
14:43
not
14:44
to
14:44
cry.
14:45
So
14:45
you
14:46
know,
14:46
you
14:46
don't
14:46
know
14:47
how
14:47
you
14:48
help
14:48
someone
14:49
sometimes
14:49
you
14:49
could
14:49
touch
14:50
someone's
14:50
life
14:50
and
14:50
you
14:50
never
14:50
know.
14:51
That's
14:52
first.
14:52
But
14:53
I
14:53
had
14:53
this
14:53
one
14:53
student.
14:54
I'll
14:54
leave
14:54
it
14:54
nameless,
14:55
but
14:56
I
14:56
took
14:56
her
14:56
every.
14:57
No,
14:57
she
14:58
wasn't
14:58
my
14:58
student.
14:58
I
14:58
used
14:59
to
14:59
take
14:59
students
14:59
from
15:00
her
15:00
class
15:00
every
15:00
day,
15:01
but
15:01
none
15:02
of
15:02
us
15:02
reached
15:02
out.
15:02
Therapist,
15:03
that's
15:03
my
15:03
very
15:04
dear
15:04
friend,
15:04
used
15:04
to
15:05
take
15:05
her
15:06
every
15:06
day.
15:06
I'd
15:06
walk
15:06
in
15:07
and
15:07
out
15:07
of
15:07
that
15:07
classroom
15:08
or
15:08
I'd
15:08
be
15:09
standing
15:09
in
15:09
the
15:09
hallway
15:10
when
15:10
they'd
15:10
come
15:10
in,
15:10
we'd
15:10
greet
15:11
them
15:11
or
15:11
remember.
15:11
These
15:11
masks
15:12
were
15:12
on.
15:12
I'd
15:12
say,
15:13
good
15:13
morning.
15:13
And
15:13
I
15:13
look
15:14
at
15:14
you
15:14
and
15:14
look
15:14
to
15:14
look
15:14
right
15:15
through
15:15
me.
15:15
That's
15:16
the
15:16
social.
15:16
She
15:17
just
15:17
look
15:17
over
15:17
me.
15:18
She
15:18
was
15:18
very
15:18
much
15:18
taller
15:19
than
15:19
me.
15:19
Getting
15:20
to
15:20
the
15:20
cons
15:21
of
15:21
it.
15:21
Every
15:21
day
15:22
I
15:22
would
15:22
do
15:22
that.
15:22
Then
15:23
there
15:23
was
15:23
a
15:23
point
15:23
where
15:23
we
15:24
were
15:24
able
15:24
to
15:24
take
15:24
the
15:25
masks
15:25
off.
15:26
So
15:27
I'm
15:27
going
15:27
to
15:27
gather
15:28
her,
15:28
I'm
15:28
going
15:28
to
15:28
smile,
15:28
she's
15:29
going
15:29
to
15:29
say
15:29
something.
15:30
I'm
15:30
going
15:30
to
15:30
just
15:30
get
15:31
her
15:31
every
15:32
morning,
15:32
good
15:32
morning.
15:33
Look
15:33
right
15:34
over
15:34
me,
15:34
past
15:34
me.
15:35
Then
15:35
I
15:36
reinvented
15:36
myself
15:36
because
15:37
there's
15:37
a
15:37
lot
15:37
of
15:37
things
15:37
going
15:38
on.
15:38
March
15:38
of
15:38
2022,
15:39
I
15:40
finally
15:41
said
15:42
goodbye
15:42
to
15:42
my
15:43
career.
15:43
For
15:43
over
15:43
25
15:44
years
15:44
I
15:44
was
15:45
preparing
15:45
all
15:45
these
15:46
students
15:46
because
15:46
after
15:46
going
15:47
to
15:47
Covid,
15:47
then
15:48
they
15:48
have
15:48
me
15:48
and
15:48
now
15:49
I'm
15:49
leaving.
15:49
I
15:50
had
15:50
to
15:50
prepare
15:50
them.
15:51
I
15:51
was
15:51
telling
15:52
all
15:52
my
15:52
students,
15:53
but
15:53
she
15:54
did
15:54
not
15:54
know
15:54
because
15:55
she
15:55
was
15:55
not
15:55
my
15:55
student.
15:56
So
15:56
I
15:56
walked
15:57
in
15:57
the
15:57
last
15:57
day
15:58
to
15:58
hand
15:58
out
15:59
the
15:59
book
15:59
moms,
16:00
which
16:00
we'll
16:00
talk
16:00
about
16:00
that
16:01
I
16:01
have
16:02
and
16:02
talk
16:02
to
16:02
them
16:03
and
16:03
say,
16:03
I
16:03
love
16:03
you
16:04
very
16:04
much.
16:04
I'm
16:05
not
16:05
leaving
16:05
you.
16:05
I'm
16:06
just
16:06
leaving
16:06
because
16:07
it's
16:07
time.
16:07
I
16:07
work
16:07
25
16:08
years,
16:08
but
16:08
you're
16:08
going
16:09
to
16:09
be
16:09
good
16:09
and
16:09
just
16:09
keep
16:10
doing
16:10
the
16:10
great
16:10
things
16:11
that
16:11
you're
16:11
doing.
16:12
She
16:12
stood
16:12
up.
16:13
This
16:13
is
16:13
where
16:13
I
16:13
get
16:14
emotional.
16:14
She
16:14
stood
16:14
up
16:15
and
16:15
she
16:15
said
16:15
to
16:15
me,
16:15
this
16:16
is
16:16
Cesar.
16:17
I
16:17
love
16:18
you.
16:18
Thank
16:18
you
16:19
for
16:19
smiling
16:19
at
16:19
me
16:19
every
16:20
morning.
16:20
Now
16:21
this
16:21
is
16:21
big
16:21
for
16:22
someone
16:22
who
16:23
is
16:23
on
16:24
an
16:24
autistic
16:25
spectrum
16:25
to
16:26
get
16:26
the
16:26
courage
16:27
and
16:27
the
16:28
strength.
16:28
But
16:29
look
16:29
at.
16:29
I
16:29
didn't
16:30
even
16:30
know
16:30
you
16:30
would
16:30
not
16:30
say
16:31
what
16:31
I'm
16:31
hearing
16:32
every
16:32
day.
16:32
But
16:33
we
16:33
don't
16:33
know
16:34
what
16:34
we.
16:34
What
16:34
we
16:35
touch
16:35
or
16:35
what
16:35
life
16:36
we
16:36
touch.
16:36
It
16:37
doesn't
16:37
even
16:37
have
16:37
to
16:37
be
16:37
a
16:37
student.
16:38
It
16:38
could
16:38
be
16:38
a.
16:39
An
16:39
adult.
16:39
But
16:39
in
16:39
the
16:40
street,
16:40
in
16:40
a
16:40
store.
16:41
You
16:41
probably
16:41
find
16:41
that
16:42
with
16:42
some
16:42
of
16:42
your
16:42
friends
16:43
too,
16:43
where
16:44
you've
16:44
made
16:44
an
16:44
impact.
16:45
On
16:45
their
16:45
Life.
16:46
And
16:46
maybe
16:47
five
16:47
or
16:47
10
16:48
years
16:48
later,
16:48
they
16:48
tell
16:49
you
16:49
something
16:50
that
16:50
you
16:50
did
16:50
or
16:51
said
16:51
to
16:51
them
16:52
that
16:52
made
16:52
an
16:52
impact,
16:53
and
16:53
you
16:53
go,
16:54
oh,
16:54
I
16:55
didn't
16:55
realize
16:55
that
16:56
you
16:56
wrote
16:56
your
16:56
book.
16:57
You
16:57
launched
16:57
it
16:57
in
16:58
2021,
16:59
Valentine's
17:00
Day,
17:00
2021.
17:01
I'm
17:01
curious.
17:02
Here
17:03
we
17:03
are,
17:03
four
17:03
years
17:04
later.
17:04
What
17:04
surprising
17:06
about
17:06
the
17:06
results
17:07
of
17:07
your
17:07
book
17:07
beyond
17:08
its
17:08
original
17:09
purpose?
17:09
What
17:09
do
17:10
you
17:10
have
17:10
in
17:10
mind
17:10
for
17:11
the
17:11
book?
17:11
And
17:11
what.
17:12
And
17:12
now,
17:13
four
17:13
years
17:13
later,
17:13
you
17:14
go.
17:14
Wow,
17:15
Believe
17:16
it
17:16
or
17:16
not,
17:16
waking
17:17
up
17:17
with
17:17
this
17:17
book
17:17
in
17:17
my
17:17
sleep,
17:18
it
17:19
was
17:19
meant
17:19
to
17:19
be
17:19
in
17:19
the
17:20
world.
17:20
I
17:20
do
17:20
believe
17:20
that.
17:21
But
17:21
it
17:21
has
17:21
taken
17:22
on
17:22
a
17:22
life
17:22
of
17:22
its
17:23
own.
17:23
So
17:23
many
17:24
things
17:24
have
17:24
happened.
17:24
I've
17:25
been
17:25
at
17:25
schools
17:25
where
17:26
I
17:26
met
17:26
with
17:26
high
17:27
schoolers.
17:27
Now
17:27
people
17:28
think
17:28
this
17:28
is
17:28
a
17:29
children's
17:29
book.
17:29
Yes,
17:30
it
17:30
is.
17:30
But
17:30
we
17:31
all
17:31
have
17:31
an
17:31
inner
17:32
child,
17:32
and
17:33
that's
17:33
what
17:33
it
17:33
does.
17:33
Tap
17:34
into
17:34
your
17:34
inner
17:35
child.
17:35
Healing
17:36
of
17:36
the
17:36
inner
17:36
child.
17:37
I
17:37
went
17:37
into
17:37
high
17:38
school,
17:38
and
17:38
I'm
17:38
going
17:38
to
17:38
make
17:38
you
17:39
laugh
17:39
because
17:39
I
17:39
went
17:39
and
17:40
met
17:40
with
17:40
the
17:40
cheerleaders.
17:41
All
17:41
these
17:41
people
17:41
were
17:42
going,
17:42
who?
17:42
This
17:43
lady?
17:43
Who
17:44
is
17:44
she?
17:45
What
17:45
does
17:45
she
17:45
think?
17:45
She's
17:46
going
17:46
to
17:46
tell
17:46
us
17:46
dinner?
17:47
Because
17:48
headphones
17:48
on,
17:49
heads
17:49
down,
17:50
walking
17:50
in.
17:50
All
17:51
right,
17:51
we
17:51
have
17:51
a
17:51
little
17:51
fear.
17:52
We
17:52
will
17:52
just
17:52
go
17:52
to
17:52
sleep,
17:53
right?
17:53
You
17:54
ain't
17:54
sleeping
17:54
on
17:55
my
17:55
watch.
17:55
But
17:56
by
17:56
the
17:56
time
17:56
they
17:57
left,
17:57
Rick,
17:58
heads
17:58
up,
17:59
smiles,
18:00
they
18:00
were
18:00
coming
18:00
up
18:00
to
18:01
me.
18:01
That
18:01
one
18:01
girl
18:01
came.
18:02
So
18:02
these
18:02
are,
18:02
like
18:03
the
18:03
ripple
18:03
effects
18:03
that
18:04
will
18:04
really
18:04
touch
18:04
my
18:04
heart.
18:05
She
18:05
came
18:05
up
18:05
to
18:05
you.
18:05
She
18:05
said,
18:06
I
18:06
love
18:06
this
18:07
so
18:07
much
18:08
because
18:08
I
18:09
have
18:09
a
18:09
little
18:09
brother,
18:09
and
18:10
he
18:10
really
18:10
needs
18:10
this
18:11
now.
18:11
Can
18:11
I
18:12
buy
18:12
it?
18:12
I
18:12
said,
18:13
honey,
18:14
I'm
18:14
going
18:14
to
18:14
give
18:14
it
18:15
to
18:15
you
18:15
for
18:15
your
18:15
brother.
18:15
You
18:16
do
18:16
not
18:16
need
18:16
to
18:16
buy
18:16
this
18:17
book.
18:17
And
18:17
I
18:18
am
18:18
so
18:18
honored
18:18
to
18:19
give
18:19
it
18:19
to
18:19
you
18:19
because
18:19
if
18:19
you
18:20
think
18:20
he
18:20
needs
18:20
it.
18:21
I
18:21
created
18:22
all
18:22
workshops.
18:22
I
18:23
have
18:23
mindful
18:24
moments
18:24
that
18:25
we
18:25
do
18:25
some
18:25
mindful
18:26
moment
18:26
affirmations.
18:27
I
18:27
created
18:28
a
18:28
program
18:28
called
18:29
Yoga
18:29
Motions
18:29
with
18:30
Love.
18:30
And
18:30
I
18:31
also
18:31
have
18:31
musical
18:32
moments.
18:32
So
18:33
a
18:33
whole
18:34
thing
18:34
came
18:34
out
18:35
of
18:35
it.
18:35
Fantastic.
18:36
You're
18:36
not
18:36
going
18:37
to
18:37
believe
18:37
what
18:37
someone
18:37
said
18:37
to
18:38
me.
18:38
So
18:38
the
18:38
cheerleaders
18:38
were
18:39
the
18:39
hardest
18:39
group
18:39
because
18:40
they're
18:40
like,
18:40
they
18:40
didn't
18:40
want
18:41
to
18:41
be
18:41
there,
18:41
the
18:41
chewing
18:42
the
18:42
gum.
18:42
They're
18:42
rolling
18:42
their
18:43
eyes
18:43
at
18:43
me.
18:44
So
18:44
I
18:44
said,
18:45
young
18:45
ladies,
18:46
in
18:46
this
18:46
world,
18:47
we
18:47
have
18:48
to
18:48
be
18:48
kind
18:48
to
18:48
each
18:49
other.
18:49
Kindest
18:49
moments
18:50
matter.
18:50
We
18:51
must
18:52
even.
18:52
We
18:53
cannot
18:53
be
18:53
friends
18:53
with
18:53
everyone,
18:54
because
18:54
that's
18:54
unnatural
18:55
that
18:55
everyone
18:56
can
18:56
be
18:56
your
18:56
friend,
18:57
but
18:57
you
18:58
can
18:58
be
18:58
a
18:59
good,
18:59
kind
19:00
person.
19:01
You
19:01
don't
19:01
have
19:01
to
19:01
talk
19:02
about
19:02
her.
19:02
If
19:03
someone
19:03
else
19:03
Is
19:04
so
19:04
let's
19:04
get
19:04
that
19:05
straight
19:05
right
19:05
away.
19:05
This
19:06
is
19:06
my
19:06
talk
19:07
of
19:07
the
19:07
day.
19:07
But
19:07
when
19:08
I
19:08
read
19:08
the
19:08
book
19:09
to
19:09
them,
19:09
I
19:09
said,
19:09
listen
19:10
in
19:10
and
19:10
tell
19:10
me
19:11
what
19:11
page
19:11
in
19:12
the
19:12
book
19:12
sits
19:13
with
19:13
you
19:13
or
19:13
comes
19:14
at
19:14
you.
19:15
You
19:15
know
19:15
what?
19:15
This
19:15
was
19:16
like,
19:16
amazing
19:16
to
19:16
me
19:16
because
19:17
one
19:17
girl
19:17
raised
19:17
her
19:17
hand.
19:18
I
19:18
finally
19:18
got
19:18
them
19:18
to
19:18
talk
19:19
because
19:19
you
19:19
got
19:19
to
19:19
pull
19:19
their.
19:20
You
19:20
gotta
19:20
pull
19:20
it
19:20
out
19:21
of
19:21
their
19:21
mouth.
19:22
That
19:23
one
19:23
page
19:23
sunshine
19:24
moment.
19:25
I
19:25
have
19:25
to
19:25
tell
19:26
you,
19:26
when
19:26
I
19:27
looked
19:27
at
19:27
that
19:27
page,
19:28
you
19:28
know,
19:29
the
19:29
sunshine
19:29
makes
19:30
me
19:30
feel
19:30
so
19:30
beautiful.
19:31
I
19:31
love
19:31
that
19:32
beige
19:32
because
19:32
it
19:33
made
19:33
me
19:33
feel
19:33
beautiful.
19:34
So
19:34
even
19:34
a
19:34
simple
19:35
thing
19:36
like
19:36
that.
19:36
When
19:36
I
19:36
said
19:36
sunshine
19:37
moments,
19:38
feel
19:38
the
19:38
sun
19:38
beam,
19:39
sunlight
19:39
beaming
19:40
on
19:40
your
19:40
face,
19:40
shining
19:41
bright.
19:41
She
19:41
was
19:41
like,
19:42
I
19:42
felt
19:42
that
19:43
and
19:43
it
19:43
makes
19:43
me
19:43
feel
19:43
beautiful.
19:44
Everybody
19:45
interprets
19:46
your
19:46
words
19:47
and
19:47
the
19:47
pictures
19:48
differently,
19:49
which
19:49
just
19:50
again,
19:50
shows
19:50
we're
19:51
all
19:51
individuals.
19:52
I
19:53
have
19:53
to
19:53
show
19:53
you
19:53
that
19:54
page.
19:54
You
19:54
want
19:54
me
19:54
to
19:54
show
19:54
you
19:55
that
19:55
page?
19:55
That
19:55
would
19:56
be
19:56
fantastic.
19:57
There's
19:57
many
19:57
pages,
19:58
but
19:58
I
19:58
wanted
19:58
to
19:58
show
19:58
you
19:58
this
19:59
one.
19:59
It
19:59
says
19:59
the
19:59
sunlight
20:00
twinkling
20:01
in
20:01
your
20:01
eyes,
20:02
sunshine
20:03
moments.
20:03
But
20:04
if
20:04
you
20:04
look
20:04
at
20:04
it,
20:05
you
20:05
see
20:05
how
20:06
it's
20:06
like
20:06
touching
20:06
him.
20:09
She
20:09
just
20:10
like,
20:10
she
20:10
just
20:11
felt
20:11
it.
20:11
I
20:11
don't
20:11
know.
20:11
Just.
20:13
I
20:13
feel
20:14
beautiful
20:14
when
20:14
the
20:14
sun
20:15
touches
20:15
me,
20:15
either
20:16
if
20:16
I'm
20:16
at
20:16
the
20:16
beach
20:16
or
20:17
sunshine
20:18
moments.
20:19
You
20:19
should
20:19
mention
20:20
that
20:20
because
20:21
I
20:22
show
20:22
you
20:22
my
20:22
book.
20:22
Sunrise
20:23
over
20:23
the
20:23
mountaintops.
20:24
Rick,
20:24
we're
20:25
meant
20:25
to
20:25
be
20:25
together
20:26
today.
20:26
Wait.
20:26
Just
20:27
stick
20:27
with
20:27
me.
20:27
I.
20:28
I
20:28
stick.
20:28
I'm
20:28
with
20:28
you.
20:29
Mountain
20:29
standing
20:30
tall
20:30
moments.
20:31
Being
20:32
brave
20:32
even
20:33
when
20:33
we
20:33
feel
20:34
so
20:34
small.
20:36
Put
20:36
your
20:36
mountains
20:36
in
20:37
the
20:37
sun.
20:37
And
20:38
here
20:38
we
20:38
are,
20:38
the
20:38
mountains.
20:39
Unbelievable.
20:40
So
20:40
this
20:41
heart
20:41
on
20:41
the
20:41
COVID
20:42
how
20:42
this
20:42
came
20:43
to
20:43
be
20:43
was.
20:44
This
20:44
is
20:44
a
20:44
kaleidoscope
20:45
of
20:46
every
20:46
page
20:47
that's
20:47
in
20:47
the
20:47
book.
20:47
Each
20:48
page
20:48
that's
20:48
in
20:49
the
20:49
book
20:49
is
20:49
in
20:49
the.
20:49
Now,
20:50
this
20:50
book
20:50
takes
20:50
you
20:50
on
20:51
a
20:51
nature
20:51
journey.
20:51
That's
20:52
why
20:52
when
20:52
I
20:52
say
20:52
it's
20:53
about
20:53
love
20:53
of
20:53
yourself,
20:54
each
20:54
other
20:55
and
20:55
the
20:55
planet,
20:55
because
20:56
it
20:56
starts
20:56
out
20:56
with
20:57
the
20:57
butterfly
20:57
moments.
20:58
Each
20:58
page
20:59
in
20:59
the
20:59
book,
20:59
like
20:59
I
20:59
told
21:00
you
21:00
about
21:00
the
21:00
yoga
21:00
movements,
21:01
each
21:02
page
21:02
in
21:02
the
21:02
book
21:02
became
21:03
emotion.
21:04
Talk
21:04
to
21:04
me
21:05
about
21:06
your
21:06
activities
21:07
in
21:07
the
21:07
book.
21:08
And
21:08
the
21:08
reason
21:08
I'm
21:08
interested
21:09
is
21:10
with
21:10
my
21:10
oldest
21:11
granddaughter,
21:11
who's
21:11
the
21:12
co
21:12
author
21:12
of
21:12
our
21:13
book,
21:13
she
21:14
helped
21:14
me
21:14
develop
21:15
activity
21:16
pages
21:16
because
21:17
we
21:17
wrote
21:17
the
21:18
story
21:18
together.
21:19
But
21:20
what
21:20
we
21:20
did
21:21
is
21:21
we
21:21
had
21:21
a
21:21
formula
21:22
in
21:23
how
21:23
we
21:23
came
21:24
about
21:24
it.
21:24
What
21:24
we
21:25
did
21:25
is
21:26
I
21:26
had
21:26
thousands
21:27
of
21:27
pictures
21:28
of
21:28
our
21:28
adventures
21:29
on
21:29
my
21:30
phone
21:31
and
21:31
we
21:31
went
21:31
to
21:32
a
21:32
coffee
21:32
shop.
21:33
We
21:33
bring
21:33
up
21:33
the
21:34
pictures
21:34
and
21:34
from
21:35
there
21:35
we
21:35
bought
21:35
a
21:36
journal
21:37
and
21:37
we
21:37
started
21:38
writing
21:38
the
21:38
Story.
21:39
We
21:39
both
21:39
aren't
21:40
artists,
21:41
but
21:41
we
21:41
started
21:41
drawing
21:43
how
21:43
we
21:43
visualize
21:44
the
21:44
book.
21:45
We
21:45
call
21:45
them
21:46
activity
21:46
pages.
21:47
And
21:47
we
21:47
put
21:47
those
21:47
activity
21:48
pages
21:49
at
21:49
the
21:49
back
21:50
of
21:50
our
21:50
book.
21:50
We
21:51
encourage
21:52
parents
21:52
and
21:52
grandparents
21:53
and
21:53
children
21:54
to
21:54
sit
21:54
down
21:55
and
21:55
do
21:55
the
21:55
same
21:55
thing
21:56
that
21:56
we
21:56
did.
21:57
Tell
21:57
us
21:57
about
21:57
your
21:58
activity
21:58
page.
21:58
I'm
21:59
an
21:59
educator,
21:59
so
21:59
there's
22:00
going
22:00
to
22:00
be
22:00
activities
22:01
at
22:01
the
22:01
end
22:01
of
22:01
this
22:02
book.
22:02
The
22:02
one
22:02
activity
22:03
that
22:03
I
22:03
do
22:03
want
22:04
to
22:04
tell
22:04
you
22:04
about.
22:05
Because
22:05
throughout
22:06
the
22:06
book,
22:06
I
22:07
affirm
22:08
the
22:08
reader
22:09
of
22:09
how
22:09
wonderful
22:10
and
22:10
beautiful
22:11
I
22:11
think
22:11
they
22:12
are,
22:12
Right?
22:12
But
22:13
if
22:13
you
22:13
don't
22:13
believe
22:14
it,
22:14
which
22:14
I
22:14
wrote
22:14
a
22:15
belief
22:15
poem,
22:15
which
22:15
we're
22:15
going
22:15
to
22:16
do
22:16
together,
22:17
you
22:17
and
22:17
I.
22:18
So
22:18
the
22:18
first
22:19
thing
22:19
that
22:19
comes
22:19
up
22:20
is
22:20
the
22:20
belief
22:20
poem.
22:21
So
22:21
we're
22:21
going
22:22
to
22:22
say
22:22
it
22:22
together.
22:22
Say
22:23
it
22:23
with
22:23
me.
22:23
Believe.
22:24
Believe.
22:25
Am
22:26
loved.
22:26
I
22:27
am
22:27
loved.
22:28
I
22:28
am
22:29
liked.
22:29
I
22:30
am
22:30
like.
22:30
I
22:31
am
22:31
courage.
22:32
I
22:32
am
22:33
courage.
22:33
I
22:34
am
22:34
bright.
22:35
I
22:35
am
22:35
bright.
22:36
I
22:37
am
22:37
brave.
22:38
I
22:38
am
22:38
brave.
22:39
I
22:39
am
22:40
so
22:40
important
22:41
in
22:41
this
22:41
moment.
22:42
I
22:43
am
22:43
so
22:43
important
22:44
in
22:44
this
22:44
moment.
22:45
And
22:45
you
22:46
are
22:46
in
22:46
the
22:47
book,
22:47
I
22:47
tell
22:47
you,
22:48
but
22:48
you
22:48
need
22:49
to
22:49
tell
22:49
yourself.
22:50
So
22:50
the
22:50
believe
22:51
poem
22:52
is
22:52
on
22:52
my
22:52
bookmark.
22:53
You
22:53
should
22:53
say
22:54
that
22:54
to
22:54
yourself
22:54
every
22:54
day.
22:55
When
22:55
I
22:55
said
22:55
I
22:55
was
22:56
with
22:56
the
22:56
high
22:56
schoolers,
22:57
I
22:57
made
22:57
them
22:58
read
22:58
that
22:59
and
22:59
then
22:59
read
22:59
that
22:59
out
23:00
loud.
23:00
And
23:00
then
23:00
the
23:01
next
23:01
time
23:01
I
23:01
went
23:01
back,
23:02
you
23:02
know
23:02
what
23:02
they
23:02
did
23:03
to
23:03
me?
23:03
They
23:04
said
23:04
to
23:04
me,
23:05
no,
23:05
you
23:05
are
23:06
so
23:06
born
23:06
in
23:06
this
23:07
moment.
23:07
So
23:07
that's
23:08
where
23:08
that
23:09
the
23:09
book
23:10
did
23:10
a
23:10
full
23:10
circle.
23:11
They.
23:12
I
23:12
gave
23:12
it
23:12
to
23:13
them.
23:13
They
23:13
took
23:13
it
23:13
in,
23:14
and
23:14
then
23:14
they
23:14
gave
23:14
it
23:14
back
23:15
to
23:15
me.
23:16
Wow,
23:16
that
23:17
is
23:17
incredible.
23:18
That
23:18
is
23:18
so
23:18
big.
23:19
You
23:19
talk
23:20
going
23:20
back.
23:21
So
23:21
explain
23:21
to
23:22
me.
23:22
Does
23:23
that
23:23
happen
23:23
often
23:23
for
23:24
you,
23:24
that
23:24
you
23:24
go
23:25
back
23:25
once
23:25
you've
23:26
been
23:26
there?
23:27
Let's
23:27
rewind
23:27
the
23:27
activities
23:28
because
23:28
I
23:28
didn't
23:28
finish
23:29
telling
23:29
you
23:29
about
23:29
them
23:29
in
23:30
the
23:30
book.
23:30
I
23:30
did
23:31
the
23:31
poem.
23:31
The
23:32
poem
23:32
is
23:32
important
23:33
because
23:33
that's
23:34
something
23:34
I
23:35
tell
23:35
them
23:35
to
23:35
start
23:35
each
23:36
day
23:36
with
23:36
that.
23:36
And
23:36
those
23:37
that
23:37
are
23:37
older,
23:37
I
23:38
said,
23:38
if
23:38
you
23:38
don't
23:38
want
23:38
to
23:38
walk
23:38
around
23:39
with
23:39
a
23:39
bookmark,
23:40
take
23:40
a
23:40
picture
23:40
of
23:40
the
23:41
poem
23:41
and
23:41
have
23:41
it
23:41
in
23:42
your
23:42
phone.
23:42
And
23:42
when
23:43
you
23:43
feel
23:43
like
23:43
you're
23:44
stressed
23:44
out
23:45
or
23:45
down,
23:45
this
23:46
is
23:46
what
23:46
you
23:46
have
23:46
to
23:46
do.
23:47
Besides
23:47
the
23:48
poem,
23:48
the
23:48
activities
23:49
that
23:49
are
23:49
in
23:49
the
23:49
book
23:49
are
23:50
this
23:50
mosaic
23:51
card,
23:51
which
23:51
is
23:51
on
23:51
the
23:51
front.
23:52
I
23:52
tell
23:52
them
23:53
to
23:53
fill
23:53
in
23:53
your
23:53
feelings.
23:54
However
23:54
the
23:54
page
23:55
made
23:55
you
23:55
feel,
23:56
fill
23:56
them
23:56
into
23:57
that
23:57
mosaic
23:57
card.
23:58
It
23:59
looks
23:59
like
23:59
it's
24:00
red.
24:00
Why
24:00
red?
24:01
It's
24:01
red
24:02
because
24:02
I
24:02
love
24:02
red.
24:03
We
24:03
believe
24:03
that
24:03
the
24:04
heart
24:04
is
24:04
red.
24:05
I
24:05
have
24:05
made
24:06
copies
24:06
that
24:07
don't
24:07
have
24:07
the
24:07
red.
24:08
So
24:08
they
24:08
have
24:08
more
24:08
space
24:09
to
24:09
write.
24:10
But
24:10
it
24:10
was
24:10
just
24:10
the
24:10
watercolor
24:11
red
24:12
that
24:12
I
24:12
thought
24:12
was
24:13
beautiful
24:13
on
24:13
the
24:13
page.
24:14
On
24:14
the
24:14
front
24:15
here
24:15
was
24:15
that
24:16
kind
24:16
of
24:16
red.
24:16
And
24:17
it's
24:17
in
24:17
here
24:17
like
24:17
this.
24:18
Just
24:18
where
24:19
aesthetics
24:20
of
24:20
looking
24:20
beautiful.
24:21
But
24:22
I
24:22
did
24:22
make
24:23
photos
24:23
of
24:23
it
24:23
to
24:24
give
24:24
out
24:24
that
24:24
don't
24:25
have
24:25
the
24:25
red.
24:25
So
24:25
they
24:25
have
24:25
more
24:26
space
24:26
to
24:26
write
24:26
into.
24:27
I
24:27
have
24:27
a
24:27
little
24:27
things
24:28
that
24:28
they
24:28
could
24:28
jot
24:28
down.
24:29
Little
24:29
notes
24:29
from
24:30
the
24:30
book,
24:30
of
24:30
course,
24:31
something
24:32
that's
24:32
very
24:32
important.
24:33
So
24:33
my
24:34
book
24:34
could
24:34
be
24:34
a
24:35
gift
24:35
to
24:35
someone
24:36
as
24:36
a
24:36
keepsake.
24:37
They
24:37
could
24:37
write
24:37
from
24:37
my
24:38
heart
24:38
to
24:38
yours.
24:38
They
24:38
could
24:39
write
24:39
a
24:39
little
24:39
message
24:40
to
24:40
the
24:40
person
24:40
they
24:41
give
24:41
it
24:41
to,
24:42
as
24:42
well
24:42
as
24:43
read
24:43
something
24:44
to
24:44
themselves
24:44
that
24:44
you
24:45
yourself.
24:46
The
24:46
last
24:46
thing
24:47
that's
24:47
very
24:47
important,
24:48
a
24:48
little
24:48
coloring
24:49
to
24:49
soothe
24:49
you.
24:49
Coloring
24:50
is
24:50
always
24:50
good.
24:51
But
24:51
the
24:52
most
24:52
important
24:52
component
24:53
is
24:53
the
24:53
glossary
24:55
where
24:55
I
24:55
explain
24:56
each
24:56
word
24:57
from
24:57
the
24:57
book.
24:57
What
24:58
does
24:58
believe
24:58
mean?
24:59
What
24:59
does
24:59
courage
25:00
mean?
25:00
What
25:01
do
25:01
all
25:01
these
25:01
words
25:02
mean?
25:02
Because
25:02
without
25:03
the
25:03
meaning,
25:04
you
25:04
can't
25:04
hold
25:05
on.
25:05
I
25:05
love
25:06
that.
25:06
I've
25:06
never
25:07
seen
25:07
a
25:07
glossary
25:08
before.
25:08
It's
25:09
interesting
25:09
when
25:09
you
25:10
in
25:10
a
25:10
children's
25:10
book.
25:11
It's
25:11
interesting
25:12
because
25:12
every
25:12
time
25:13
I
25:13
that
25:14
have
25:14
the
25:14
distinct
25:15
privilege
25:15
of
25:15
talking
25:16
to
25:16
a
25:16
children's
25:16
book
25:17
author,
25:17
all
25:18
these
25:18
ideas
25:19
come
25:19
flying
25:19
at
25:20
you
25:20
because
25:20
everybody
25:21
has
25:21
their
25:21
own
25:22
distinct
25:22
way
25:22
of
25:23
doing
25:23
things.
25:24
I'm
25:24
a
25:24
speech
25:25
language
25:25
pathologist,
25:26
so
25:26
language
25:27
is
25:27
key
25:27
to
25:27
me.
25:28
For
25:28
me,
25:29
all
25:29
of
25:29
my
25:30
students
25:30
all
25:30
along
25:31
brought
25:31
me
25:31
on
25:31
this
25:32
journey
25:32
because
25:33
I
25:33
knew
25:33
that
25:34
you
25:34
have
25:34
to
25:34
know
25:35
what
25:35
the
25:35
word
25:35
believe
25:36
means
25:36
if
25:36
you're
25:36
going
25:37
to
25:37
say,
25:37
what
25:38
does
25:38
it
25:38
really
25:38
mean?
25:39
What
25:39
does
25:39
it
25:39
mean
25:39
to
25:39
believe?
25:40
Even
25:41
in
25:41
the
25:41
beginning,
25:42
I
25:42
dedicated
25:42
to
25:43
all
25:43
the
25:43
beautiful
25:43
children,
25:44
hoping
25:45
this
25:45
story
25:45
will
25:45
let
25:46
you
25:46
know
25:46
how
25:46
precious
25:47
you
25:47
are
25:47
in
25:47
this
25:47
world.
25:48
See,
25:48
at
25:48
that
25:48
time,
25:49
I
25:49
think
25:49
people
25:49
are
25:50
losing
25:50
sight
25:50
of
25:51
who
25:51
they
25:51
were,
25:52
what's
25:53
important.
25:54
And
25:54
that's
25:54
why
25:54
every
25:55
moment
25:55
during
25:55
the
25:55
day,
25:56
you
25:56
had
25:56
to
25:56
take
25:57
a
25:57
minute
25:57
just
25:57
to
25:58
be
25:58
you.
25:59
I
25:59
know
25:59
this
25:59
is
26:00
hindsight's
26:01
20
26:01
20,
26:02
but
26:02
do
26:02
you
26:02
think
26:03
you
26:03
would
26:04
have
26:04
actually
26:05
woke
26:05
up
26:05
and
26:06
said,
26:06
I
26:06
wrote
26:07
this
26:07
book
26:07
to
26:08
your
26:08
husband,
26:09
if
26:09
we
26:09
wouldn't
26:09
have
26:09
went
26:10
through
26:10
the
26:10
pandemic?
26:11
I
26:11
went
26:12
to
26:12
sleep
26:12
praying
26:13
for
26:13
the
26:13
book.
26:14
I
26:14
said,
26:14
I
26:14
need
26:15
something
26:15
to
26:15
help
26:16
these
26:16
students.
26:17
And
26:17
something
26:17
just
26:18
happened
26:18
between
26:18
you
26:18
and
26:18
I
26:19
because
26:19
of
26:20
the
26:20
audio.
26:21
Imagine
26:22
doing
26:22
speech
26:23
therapy.
26:23
The
26:24
words
26:24
I
26:24
said.
26:25
I
26:25
said,
26:25
brave.
26:26
You
26:26
didn't
26:26
hear
26:26
the
26:27
B.
26:27
Or
26:27
I
26:27
said,
26:28
imagine
26:29
that.
26:29
Think
26:29
about
26:29
that.
26:30
And
26:30
it's
26:31
not
26:31
you.
26:31
It's
26:31
just
26:31
the
26:32
audio
26:32
of
26:32
saying
26:33
stuff
26:33
you
26:34
were
26:34
listening.
26:34
But
26:34
it
26:34
wasn't
26:35
that.
26:35
It
26:35
was
26:35
the
26:35
audio.
26:36
Light,
26:37
courage.
26:37
Like
26:38
I
26:38
Would
26:38
have
26:38
to.
26:39
It
26:39
was
26:39
the
26:39
first.
26:40
Funny
26:40
what
26:40
I
26:40
had
26:40
to
26:40
do
26:41
with
26:41
them.
26:41
I
26:42
digress.
26:42
But
26:42
it
26:43
was
26:43
interesting.
26:43
I
26:44
went
26:44
to
26:44
sleep
26:44
and
26:44
I.
26:45
Because
26:45
of
26:45
the
26:45
pandemic,
26:46
hoping
26:47
for
26:47
something,
26:47
having
26:48
some
26:48
hope,
26:49
and
26:49
I
26:49
woke
26:49
up
26:49
with
26:50
it.
26:50
I
26:50
don't
26:51
know
26:51
if
26:51
I
26:51
would
26:51
have
26:51
been
26:51
praying
26:52
for
26:52
that.
26:52
It's
26:52
interesting
26:53
because
26:53
you
26:54
know
26:54
what?
26:54
Somebody
26:54
told
26:55
me
26:55
the
26:55
other
26:55
day
26:56
that
26:57
there
26:58
was
26:58
way
26:58
more
26:59
books
26:59
written
27:00
during
27:00
the
27:00
pandemic
27:01
than
27:01
at
27:01
any
27:02
other
27:02
time.
27:02
I've
27:03
never
27:03
seen
27:03
a
27:03
study
27:04
on
27:04
that.
27:04
Somebody
27:05
just
27:05
told
27:05
me
27:05
that.
27:06
But
27:06
I
27:06
can
27:06
see
27:06
that
27:07
because
27:08
you
27:08
wrote
27:08
a
27:09
book
27:09
up
27:10
as
27:10
a
27:10
result
27:10
of
27:10
the
27:11
pandemic.
27:12
I
27:12
actually
27:12
wrote
27:12
a
27:13
book,
27:13
but
27:13
not
27:13
a
27:13
children's
27:14
book.
27:14
I
27:14
actually
27:15
wrote
27:15
two
27:15
books,
27:16
but
27:16
they
27:16
were
27:17
about
27:17
investment,
27:17
real
27:18
estate.
27:18
I
27:19
digress.
27:20
Yeah,
27:20
very
27:21
different.
27:21
But
27:21
it
27:22
gave
27:22
me
27:22
the
27:23
tools.
27:24
And
27:24
that's
27:24
what.
27:24
That's
27:25
leading
27:25
me
27:25
up
27:25
to
27:26
my
27:26
next
27:26
question.
27:27
So
27:27
you
27:28
talked
27:28
about
27:28
having
27:29
the
27:29
great
27:29
fortune
27:30
of
27:31
getting
27:31
a
27:31
publisher
27:32
or
27:32
meeting
27:33
a
27:33
publisher.
27:33
So
27:34
explain
27:34
to.
27:35
To
27:35
us
27:35
are
27:36
working
27:37
with
27:37
a
27:37
traditional
27:38
publisher
27:39
or
27:39
are
27:40
you
27:40
self
27:40
published?
27:41
Tell
27:41
us
27:41
your
27:42
publishing
27:42
story.
27:43
We
27:43
could
27:44
rewind
27:44
that
27:44
because
27:45
as
27:45
a.
27:45
As
27:45
an
27:45
educator,
27:46
not
27:46
all
27:47
teachers
27:47
want
27:48
to
27:48
write
27:48
books.
27:49
But
27:49
when
27:49
my
27:49
son
27:50
was
27:50
born,
27:50
I
27:51
always
27:51
wanted
27:51
to
27:51
write
27:52
a
27:52
book.
27:52
But
27:53
that
27:53
never
27:53
happened.
27:53
He
27:54
just
27:54
turned
27:54
25.
27:55
It
27:55
would.
27:56
So
27:56
it
27:56
didn't
27:56
happen
27:56
during
27:57
his
27:57
young
27:58
years
27:58
because
27:58
you're
27:59
busy
27:59
in
27:59
doing
27:59
things.
28:00
I
28:00
have
28:00
an
28:00
indie
28:01
publisher
28:01
who's
28:02
a
28:02
hybrid
28:02
which
28:02
is
28:03
in
28:03
between
28:03
traditional
28:04
publishing
28:04
and
28:05
in
28:05
between
28:05
self
28:06
publishing.
28:06
There's
28:07
this
28:07
other
28:08
area
28:09
that
28:09
you
28:09
could
28:10
go
28:10
to
28:10
that
28:11
people.
28:11
Some
28:11
people
28:12
don't
28:12
know
28:12
about
28:12
that.
28:13
But
28:14
what
28:14
I
28:15
wanted
28:15
to
28:15
tell
28:15
you
28:15
more.
28:15
I
28:16
met
28:16
her
28:16
through
28:17
different
28:17
people.
28:18
I
28:18
wanted
28:18
to
28:18
publish.
28:19
Like
28:19
you
28:19
just
28:20
said,
28:20
you
28:20
were
28:20
publishing
28:21
a
28:21
different
28:21
adult,
28:22
like
28:22
investment,
28:23
totally
28:23
different.
28:24
I
28:24
was
28:25
publishing
28:26
like
28:26
Moments
28:26
in
28:26
Motion
28:27
with
28:27
love
28:27
for
28:27
adults.
28:28
That's
28:28
what
28:28
I
28:29
was
28:29
doing.
28:29
So
28:30
that
28:30
was
28:31
because
28:31
of.
28:31
You
28:31
don't
28:32
know
28:32
my
28:32
story,
28:32
why
28:33
I
28:33
was
28:33
doing
28:33
that.
28:33
There's
28:34
a
28:34
story
28:34
to
28:34
why
28:35
I
28:35
was
28:35
writing
28:36
that
28:36
book.
28:36
Because
28:37
being
28:37
a
28:37
speech
28:38
language
28:38
pathologist,
28:39
you
28:39
don't
28:39
know.
28:40
In
28:40
2006,
28:41
my
28:41
son
28:42
was
28:42
6
28:42
years
28:42
old.
28:43
I
28:43
was
28:43
in
28:43
a
28:43
car
28:44
accident
28:44
and
28:45
I
28:45
lost
28:45
my
28:45
voice
28:46
and
28:46
I
28:46
did
28:46
not
28:47
have
28:47
a
28:47
voice
28:47
at
28:47
all
28:48
for
28:48
five
28:48
years.
28:49
And
28:49
I
28:49
still
28:50
don't
28:50
have
28:50
a
28:50
voice
28:51
because
28:51
I
28:51
have
28:51
a
28:51
condition
28:52
called
28:52
spasmodic
28:53
dysphonia
28:54
and
28:54
I
28:55
go
28:55
for
28:55
injections
28:56
every
28:56
four
28:56
months.
28:57
The
28:58
thing
28:58
that
28:58
I
28:58
want
28:58
to
28:59
say
28:59
about
28:59
that
28:59
though,
29:00
the
29:00
reason
29:00
I'm
29:00
bringing
29:00
that
29:01
up
29:01
is
29:01
because
29:02
I
29:02
was
29:02
a
29:03
speech
29:03
language
29:03
pathologist.
29:04
I
29:05
diagnosed
29:05
myself
29:06
after
29:06
a
29:06
while.
29:06
I'm
29:06
like
29:07
people
29:07
you
29:07
don't
29:07
know
29:08
what's
29:08
going
29:08
on
29:08
here.
29:09
But
29:09
my
29:10
point
29:10
of
29:10
saying
29:10
that
29:11
I've
29:11
lost
29:11
my
29:11
voice
29:12
is
29:12
I
29:13
guess
29:13
this
29:13
was
29:13
the
29:14
whole
29:14
journey
29:14
all
29:15
along.
29:15
Is
29:16
that
29:16
coming
29:16
here
29:17
and
29:17
who
29:17
knew?
29:18
Moments,
29:18
emotional
29:19
love.
29:19
Did
29:19
I
29:19
know
29:19
back
29:20
then
29:20
that
29:20
I
29:20
was
29:20
going
29:20
to
29:21
lose
29:21
my
29:21
voice?
29:21
No.
29:22
What
29:22
did
29:22
I
29:23
do
29:23
with
29:23
it?
29:23
I
29:23
made
29:24
sure
29:24
I
29:24
always
29:24
saw
29:25
one
29:26
glimmer
29:26
of
29:27
light.
29:27
Because
29:28
even
29:28
in
29:28
the
29:28
darkness,
29:29
you
29:29
have
29:29
to
29:29
look
29:29
for
29:29
the
29:30
light.
29:30
I'm
29:30
telling
29:30
you
29:31
about
29:31
the
29:31
publishing
29:32
journey.
29:33
I
29:34
found
29:34
her
29:35
to
29:35
write
29:35
this
29:35
book
29:35
based
29:36
on
29:36
what
29:36
I
29:36
just
29:36
told
29:37
you
29:37
about.
29:37
And
29:37
I
29:38
also
29:38
am
29:39
a
29:39
co
29:39
author
29:39
in
29:40
another
29:40
book
29:40
called
29:41
Magnificently
29:41
Mate
29:42
where
29:42
I
29:43
put
29:43
that
29:43
story
29:44
into
29:44
it
29:44
about
29:45
the
29:45
losing
29:45
of
29:45
my
29:45
voice
29:46
and
29:46
how
29:46
music
29:47
killed
29:47
me.
29:48
The
29:49
publisher
29:50
was
29:51
instrumental
29:52
because
29:52
she
29:53
was
29:53
able
29:53
to
29:53
pivot.
29:54
A
29:54
big
29:54
company
29:55
won't
29:55
be
29:55
pivoting
29:56
with
29:56
you.
29:56
We
29:57
talked
29:57
about
29:57
earlier
29:58
how
29:59
someone
30:00
brings
30:00
their
30:01
book
30:01
to
30:01
life.
30:02
As
30:02
a
30:03
first
30:03
time
30:03
aspiring
30:04
author,
30:05
there's
30:05
so
30:06
many
30:06
different
30:06
ways
30:06
of
30:06
doing
30:07
it.
30:07
Explain
30:08
to
30:08
us.
30:08
When
30:08
you
30:09
say
30:09
hybrid,
30:10
tell
30:10
us
30:10
a
30:10
little
30:11
bit
30:11
about
30:11
what
30:12
did
30:12
you
30:12
do
30:13
and
30:14
what
30:14
did
30:14
your
30:15
publisher
30:15
do
30:16
so
30:16
that
30:16
people
30:16
have
30:17
a
30:17
better
30:17
understanding
30:18
of
30:18
how
30:19
the
30:19
book
30:19
came
30:19
to
30:19
life.
30:20
Like
30:20
I
30:20
said,
30:21
I
30:21
started
30:21
in
30:21
January
30:22
thinking
30:22
I
30:22
was
30:22
writing
30:22
a
30:23
different
30:23
type
30:23
of
30:23
book.
30:23
And
30:24
there
30:24
was
30:24
a
30:24
whole
30:24
process.
30:25
You
30:25
get
30:25
a
30:25
package,
30:26
they
30:26
go
30:26
through
30:26
the
30:27
journey
30:27
of
30:27
how
30:27
they're
30:28
going
30:28
to
30:28
help
30:28
you
30:29
through
30:29
the
30:30
beginning
30:30
of
30:30
it,
30:31
writing
30:31
it,
30:32
editing
30:32
it,
30:33
doing
30:33
all
30:33
of
30:33
that.
30:34
When
30:34
this
30:34
book
30:34
came
30:35
to
30:35
be,
30:35
it
30:36
was
30:36
just
30:37
not.
30:37
Nothing
30:37
was
30:37
really
30:38
changed.
30:39
It
30:40
came
30:40
out
30:40
the
30:40
way
30:40
it
30:41
came
30:41
out.
30:41
She
30:41
told
30:42
me
30:42
she
30:42
has
30:42
never
30:43
in
30:43
her
30:43
life
30:44
published
30:44
a
30:44
book
30:44
without
30:45
any
30:45
real
30:45
edits.
30:46
Did
30:46
not
30:46
need
30:47
really
30:47
anything
30:48
except
30:49
for
30:49
what
30:49
we
30:49
did
30:50
do.
30:50
And
30:50
I
30:50
think
30:50
this
30:50
is
30:51
interesting
30:51
because
30:52
it
30:52
wasn't
30:52
a
30:52
character
30:53
book
30:53
where
30:53
there
30:54
were
30:54
characters
30:54
that
30:55
you
30:55
needed
30:55
an
30:55
illustrator.
30:56
I
30:57
thought
30:57
that
30:57
it
30:57
needed
30:57
to
30:57
be
30:58
soothing.
30:58
So
30:59
we
30:59
licensed
30:59
Watercolor
31:00
Art
31:01
prints
31:01
the
31:02
book.
31:02
But
31:02
the
31:03
job
31:03
that
31:03
I
31:04
had
31:04
as
31:04
the
31:05
author
31:05
and
31:05
the
31:05
publisher
31:06
to
31:06
go
31:06
through
31:07
it
31:07
with
31:07
me
31:07
was
31:08
selecting
31:09
these
31:10
images
31:10
but
31:11
making
31:11
it
31:11
cohesive
31:12
to
31:12
look
31:12
like
31:13
a
31:13
book.
31:13
That
31:13
was
31:13
the
31:13
job
31:14
that
31:14
was
31:14
hard
31:15
because
31:15
I
31:16
wanted
31:16
to
31:16
look
31:16
like
31:16
it
31:17
all
31:17
belongs
31:17
together.
31:18
But
31:18
picking
31:19
and
31:19
pulling
31:19
from
31:19
different
31:20
places
31:21
was
31:21
a
31:21
test.
31:22
When
31:22
you
31:22
reached
31:23
out
31:23
to
31:23
the
31:24
watercolor
31:24
illustrators,
31:25
were
31:26
they
31:27
surprised
31:27
when
31:27
you
31:28
told
31:28
them
31:28
what
31:28
you
31:29
the
31:29
purpose
31:29
of
31:30
what
31:30
you
31:30
were
31:31
going
31:31
to
31:31
do
31:31
with
31:31
their
31:31
illustrations?
31:32
So
31:32
it's
31:33
funny
31:33
that
31:33
you
31:33
said
31:33
that
31:34
you
31:34
could
31:34
license
31:35
just
31:35
prints,
31:36
you
31:36
could
31:36
just
31:36
license
31:37
them
31:37
and
31:37
you
31:38
don't
31:38
even
31:38
talk
31:38
to
31:38
anybody,
31:39
you
31:39
just
31:39
license
31:39
them
31:40
and
31:40
you
31:40
find
31:40
them
31:41
and
31:41
then
31:41
you
31:42
meant
31:43
to
31:43
use
31:43
them
31:44
for
31:44
whatever
31:45
amount
31:45
of
31:45
copies
31:46
that
31:46
you
31:46
have.
31:47
In
31:47
the
31:47
universe.
31:48
Fascinating.
31:49
Very
31:50
fascinating.
31:50
Because
31:51
I
31:51
didn't
31:51
know
31:51
that.
31:52
But
31:52
then
31:52
my
31:52
publisher
31:53
said,
31:53
let's
31:53
go
31:53
look
31:54
into
31:54
that.
31:54
But
31:54
if
31:55
you
31:55
look
31:56
now,
31:56
I
31:56
picked
31:56
that.
31:57
But
31:57
then
31:57
when
31:57
I
31:58
had
31:58
that
31:58
feeling,
31:58
I
31:59
had
31:59
to
31:59
say,
31:59
how
31:59
are
31:59
we
31:59
going
32:00
to
32:00
look
32:00
similar?
32:01
But
32:01
if
32:01
you
32:02
go
32:02
page
32:02
by
32:02
page,
32:03
you
32:03
will
32:03
not
32:03
believe
32:04
that.
32:04
It
32:04
does
32:04
look
32:05
like
32:05
someone
32:06
drew
32:06
them
32:06
for
32:06
me
32:07
because
32:07
of
32:08
all
32:08
the
32:08
work
32:08
I
32:08
did
32:09
to
32:09
try
32:09
to.
32:10
It's
32:11
amazing.
32:11
But
32:12
I
32:12
did
32:12
select
32:12
from
32:12
the
32:13
same
32:13
artist.
32:14
I
32:14
didn't
32:14
go
32:15
somewhere.
32:15
All
32:16
the
32:16
illustrations
32:16
are
32:17
from
32:17
the
32:17
same
32:17
artist.
32:18
Yeah,
32:18
but
32:19
he.
32:21
Thousands
32:22
and
32:22
thousands
32:22
into.
32:23
I
32:23
hate.
32:24
Right.
32:25
You
32:25
know,
32:25
but
32:25
to
32:25
make
32:26
it
32:26
look
32:26
cohesive
32:27
for
32:27
the.
32:27
For
32:28
an
32:28
aspiring
32:29
author.
32:29
Explain
32:30
to
32:30
us
32:31
how
32:31
would
32:31
someone
32:32
even
32:32
go
32:32
about
32:32
doing
32:33
that?
32:33
Like,
32:34
how
32:34
did
32:34
that
32:34
happen?
32:35
So
32:35
if
32:35
I
32:36
thought,
32:36
oh
32:36
man,
32:37
I
32:37
want
32:37
to
32:37
just
32:38
be
32:38
like
32:38
Denise,
32:39
but
32:39
how
32:39
do
32:39
I
32:40
do
32:40
it?
32:40
So
32:41
tell
32:41
us
32:41
the
32:41
process.
32:43
Having
32:43
a
32:43
publisher
32:44
was
32:45
the
32:45
hybrid.
32:45
There
32:46
are
32:46
many
32:46
hybrid
32:46
publishers.
32:47
I
32:47
think
32:48
one
32:48
thing
32:49
I'm
32:49
going
32:49
to
32:49
say
32:49
about
32:50
this,
32:50
I
32:50
am
32:50
fortunate
32:51
to
32:51
have
32:51
a
32:51
publisher
32:52
that
32:52
has
32:53
so
32:53
much
32:53
love
32:53
and
32:53
integrity.
32:55
That's
32:55
important
32:55
if
32:56
you
32:56
feel.
32:56
You
32:56
have
32:56
to
32:57
feel
32:57
good
32:57
with
32:57
the
32:57
person
32:58
you're
32:58
working
32:58
with
32:58
because
32:59
there
32:59
is
33:00
money
33:00
involved.
33:00
People
33:01
have
33:01
to
33:01
understand
33:01
that
33:01
even
33:02
self
33:02
publishing
33:03
is
33:03
money
33:03
involved.
33:04
You
33:04
have
33:04
to
33:04
be
33:04
able
33:04
to
33:05
afford.
33:06
I'm
33:07
going
33:07
to
33:07
say
33:07
something
33:07
else.
33:08
When
33:08
I
33:08
went
33:08
to
33:09
meet
33:09
with
33:09
other
33:10
students,
33:10
I
33:10
would
33:10
tell
33:11
them,
33:11
you
33:11
know
33:12
about.
33:12
You
33:13
are
33:13
an
33:13
author
33:13
already.
33:14
If
33:14
you
33:14
put
33:14
pens
33:14
and
33:15
paper,
33:15
you
33:15
are
33:15
an
33:16
author.
33:16
Yes.
33:17
They're
33:17
a
33:17
published
33:17
author.
33:18
When
33:18
the
33:18
book
33:18
becomes
33:19
solidified.
33:20
Right.
33:21
Don't
33:22
you
33:22
write
33:22
things?
33:23
Keep
33:24
writing
33:24
because
33:24
you
33:24
are
33:25
an
33:25
author.
33:25
When
33:25
you
33:26
publish
33:26
them,
33:26
you
33:26
get
33:27
there.
33:27
So
33:27
that
33:28
is
33:28
that
33:28
tip.
33:28
I
33:29
want
33:29
to
33:29
say
33:29
to
33:29
everyone
33:29
here
33:30
today,
33:30
if
33:31
you
33:31
put
33:31
pen
33:31
to
33:31
paper,
33:32
you
33:32
are
33:32
an
33:33
author.
33:33
So
33:33
don't
33:34
lose
33:34
sight
33:34
of
33:34
that.
33:35
Becoming
33:36
a
33:36
published
33:36
author
33:36
is
33:37
the
33:37
next
33:37
level.
33:38
But
33:38
I
33:39
would
33:39
say
33:39
I'm
33:40
not
33:40
against
33:40
self
33:41
publishing,
33:41
but
33:41
that
33:41
costs
33:42
money
33:42
too.
33:43
But
33:43
you
33:43
have
33:43
to
33:43
be
33:43
very
33:44
diligent.
33:44
And
33:44
you.
33:45
I
33:46
don't
33:46
know.
33:46
In
33:46
my
33:46
earlier
33:47
episodes,
33:48
I
33:48
talk
33:48
about
33:49
traditional
33:50
versus
33:51
self
33:51
publishing
33:52
and
33:52
I
33:52
also
33:52
talk
33:53
about
33:53
the
33:53
costs
33:54
and
33:54
I
33:54
also
33:55
talk
33:55
about
33:55
the
33:56
return
33:56
because
33:57
compensation
33:59
is
33:59
totally
33:59
different.
34:00
Also
34:00
when
34:01
you
34:01
do
34:01
it
34:01
with
34:01
a
34:01
hybrid,
34:02
that
34:02
would
34:03
be
34:03
have
34:03
a
34:03
different
34:04
compensation
34:05
model
34:05
altogether.
34:06
Talking
34:07
about
34:07
publishing,
34:08
I
34:08
noticed
34:09
right
34:09
now,
34:09
and
34:10
maybe
34:10
I'm
34:10
wrong,
34:10
but
34:11
you
34:11
can
34:11
correct
34:11
me.
34:12
I
34:12
noticed
34:12
you
34:12
only
34:13
have
34:13
the
34:14
paperback
34:15
available.
34:17
You
34:17
don't
34:17
have
34:17
a
34:17
hard
34:18
copy
34:18
or
34:19
an
34:19
audiobook
34:20
or
34:20
a
34:20
digital
34:20
book.
34:21
So
34:21
can
34:21
you
34:22
talk
34:22
to
34:22
that
34:22
a
34:22
little
34:23
bit
34:23
why
34:23
you
34:24
chose
34:24
not
34:24
to
34:25
do
34:25
that?
34:25
I
34:25
like
34:25
this
34:26
book.
34:26
It's
34:26
hard
34:26
to
34:26
Cover.
34:27
It's.
34:27
It's
34:27
about
34:28
what
34:28
the
34:28
book
34:29
is.
34:29
I
34:29
think
34:30
people
34:30
have
34:30
to
34:30
think
34:30
about
34:31
that.
34:31
What
34:31
is
34:31
this
34:32
book
34:32
or
34:33
what
34:33
are
34:33
we
34:33
using
34:33
it
34:34
for
34:34
now?
34:35
Hardcovers
34:35
could
34:36
be
34:36
more
34:36
cumbersome
34:37
and
34:37
heavy.
34:38
I've
34:38
thought
34:39
about
34:39
that.
34:39
If
34:40
you
34:40
feel
34:40
my
34:40
book,
34:40
it
34:40
feels
34:41
the
34:41
soothing
34:42
effect.
34:42
No,
34:42
I
34:43
had
34:43
student
34:43
sensory
34:44
issues
34:45
as
34:45
you
34:45
could
34:45
feel
34:45
this.
34:46
So
34:46
I
34:46
knew
34:47
that
34:47
I
34:47
wanted
34:47
it
34:48
to
34:48
be
34:48
smooth
34:49
and
34:49
soft
34:50
so
34:50
there
34:50
was
34:50
something
34:51
to
34:52
it.
34:52
You
34:52
could
34:53
carry
34:53
it
34:53
small
34:53
enough
34:54
to
34:54
carry
34:54
it
34:54
with
34:54
you.
34:55
There
34:55
is
34:55
cost
34:56
in
34:56
making
34:56
hardcover
34:57
books
34:57
as
34:57
well.
34:57
But
34:58
that
34:58
wasn't
34:59
my
34:59
whole
34:59
thing.
35:00
I
35:00
just
35:01
think
35:01
it's
35:01
like
35:01
a
35:01
workbook.
35:02
It's
35:02
a
35:02
work
35:02
in
35:03
progress.
35:03
It's
35:04
to
35:04
be
35:04
hard
35:05
covered.
35:06
There
35:06
are
35:06
books
35:06
that
35:07
do
35:07
need
35:07
to
35:07
be
35:07
hardcovered.
35:08
You're
35:08
saying
35:09
that
35:09
down
35:09
the
35:10
road.
35:10
It
35:10
doesn't
35:10
mean
35:11
that
35:11
you
35:11
wouldn't
35:12
do.
35:13
No.
35:13
I
35:13
might
35:13
have
35:14
another
35:14
book
35:14
that
35:14
comes
35:15
out
35:15
that's
35:15
hardcover.
35:16
Absolutely.
35:17
I
35:17
want
35:17
to
35:17
talk
35:17
a
35:18
little
35:18
bit
35:18
about
35:18
your
35:19
website
35:19
because
35:20
I've
35:20
been
35:21
with
35:21
the
35:21
children's
35:22
book
35:22
authors
35:22
that
35:22
I've
35:23
been
35:23
interviewing
35:24
so
35:24
far.
35:24
Some
35:25
have
35:26
the
35:26
brand
35:26
as
35:27
themselves,
35:28
the
35:28
author.
35:29
And
35:29
then
35:30
some
35:30
people
35:30
are
35:31
developing
35:31
a
35:31
book
35:32
series.
35:32
So
35:33
they
35:33
have
35:34
the
35:35
book
35:35
series,
35:36
the
35:36
main
35:36
character
35:37
or
35:37
the
35:38
theme
35:38
as
35:39
their
35:40
website.
35:40
Talk
35:41
to
35:41
me
35:41
about
35:41
why
35:42
you
35:42
chose
35:42
to
35:42
go
35:43
as
35:43
an
35:44
author.
35:44
Website.
35:45
I
35:45
do
35:45
have
35:45
another
35:46
business.
35:46
That's
35:47
why
35:47
I
35:48
wanted
35:48
to
35:48
just
35:48
be
35:49
about
35:49
it.
35:49
Being
35:49
author
35:50
driven,
35:51
but
35:52
author
35:52
driven
35:53
because
35:53
of
35:53
the
35:54
message
35:54
that
35:55
I
35:55
am
35:56
delivering.
35:56
I
35:56
think
35:57
that's
35:57
what
35:57
that
35:57
has
35:57
to
35:57
do
35:57
with
35:58
is
35:58
my
35:58
message
35:59
filter
36:00
through
36:00
with
36:00
other
36:00
books
36:01
that
36:01
I
36:01
create.
36:02
It's
36:02
the
36:02
branding
36:02
of
36:03
me
36:03
because
36:03
I'm
36:03
the
36:04
one
36:04
with
36:04
the
36:04
message,
36:05
this
36:05
message.
36:06
Whichever
36:06
book
36:06
comes
36:07
out
36:07
will
36:07
have
36:07
my
36:08
message.
36:08
But
36:08
also
36:09
as
36:09
an
36:09
educator,
36:10
there's
36:10
those
36:10
other
36:11
programs
36:12
to
36:12
be
36:13
based
36:13
on.
36:13
I
36:13
noticed
36:14
in
36:14
your
36:14
bio
36:15
you
36:15
describe
36:15
yourself
36:16
as
36:16
an
36:16
author
36:17
first,
36:18
then
36:18
you,
36:19
I
36:19
think
36:19
then
36:19
you
36:19
talk
36:20
about
36:20
being
36:21
a
36:21
public
36:22
speaker
36:22
and
36:23
then
36:23
talk
36:24
about
36:25
emotional
36:26
learning
36:26
specialist.
36:27
Talk
36:27
to
36:28
us
36:28
why
36:28
you
36:29
went
36:29
author,
36:30
then
36:30
you
36:30
went
36:31
keynote
36:31
speaker
36:32
and
36:32
then
36:33
the
36:33
social
36:34
emotional
36:35
learning
36:35
specialist.
36:36
I
36:36
put
36:36
it
36:37
in
36:37
that
36:37
order
36:37
because
36:38
without
36:38
the
36:38
book
36:39
one,
36:39
without
36:39
becoming
36:40
a
36:40
published
36:41
author,
36:41
these
36:42
other
36:42
things
36:42
wouldn't
36:43
be
36:43
able
36:43
to
36:43
flow.
36:44
Can
36:44
you
36:44
be
36:44
a
36:44
keynote
36:45
speaker?
36:46
Okay,
36:46
but
36:46
what
36:47
are
36:47
you
36:47
basing
36:47
your
36:48
speaking
36:48
on?
36:49
Right,
36:49
so
36:49
I'm.
36:50
I'm
36:50
basing
36:51
my
36:51
keynote
36:51
speaking
36:52
or.
36:52
Or
36:52
my
36:53
social
36:53
emotional
36:54
learning
36:54
tools
36:55
based
36:56
on
36:56
the
36:56
book,
36:57
based
36:57
on
36:57
my
36:58
knowledge.
36:59
I
36:59
am.
36:59
I
36:59
have
37:00
been
37:00
in
37:00
education
37:01
for
37:01
over
37:01
25
37:02
years.
37:02
Two
37:03
master's
37:03
degrees.
37:04
The
37:04
author
37:05
came
37:05
first
37:05
because
37:06
that's
37:06
what
37:07
everything
37:07
that
37:07
I
37:07
am
37:07
doing
37:08
is
37:08
based
37:08
on.
37:09
And
37:09
that's
37:10
important.
37:10
I
37:10
Just
37:10
want
37:11
to
37:11
make
37:11
sure
37:11
that
37:12
aspiring
37:12
authors
37:13
know
37:13
why
37:14
Denise
37:15
calls
37:15
herself
37:15
an
37:15
author
37:16
first
37:17
and
37:17
everything
37:17
else
37:18
comes
37:18
second.
37:19
Second,
37:19
because
37:19
that's
37:20
the
37:20
thing
37:20
that's
37:20
going
37:20
to
37:21
drive
37:21
everything
37:21
else
37:22
that
37:22
I've
37:22
been
37:23
publishing.
37:24
You
37:24
talked
37:24
about
37:25
waking
37:25
up
37:25
and
37:26
having
37:26
that
37:26
eureka
37:27
moment
37:27
with
37:28
your
37:28
book.
37:29
When
37:29
you
37:29
think
37:29
back,
37:30
was
37:30
there
37:30
a
37:31
specific
37:31
person
37:32
or
37:33
event
37:33
that
37:33
motivated
37:34
you
37:35
to
37:35
write
37:35
this
37:35
children's
37:36
book?
37:36
I
37:37
had
37:37
that
37:37
dark
37:37
moment.
37:38
But
37:38
what's
37:38
really
37:39
interesting,
37:40
and
37:40
I
37:40
don't
37:41
want
37:41
to
37:41
go
37:41
too
37:41
deep
37:41
about
37:42
this,
37:42
but
37:43
in
37:43
2006,
37:44
when
37:45
I
37:45
totally.
37:45
I
37:45
didn't
37:46
have.
37:46
I
37:46
worked
37:47
with
37:47
Louder
37:47
Voice
37:48
for
37:48
five
37:48
years.
37:49
I
37:49
have
37:49
a
37:49
disability.
37:50
I
37:50
became
37:51
more
37:51
connected
37:51
with
37:52
my
37:52
students
37:52
than
37:53
ever.
37:53
But
37:53
I
37:53
also
37:54
became
37:54
more
37:55
creative
37:55
where
37:55
I
37:56
created
37:56
a
37:57
design
37:58
for
37:58
a
37:58
swimwear
37:59
company
37:59
that
37:59
I
37:59
have
38:00
because
38:00
of
38:01
that.
38:02
Like
38:02
my.
38:03
Because
38:03
of
38:03
not
38:03
being
38:03
able
38:04
to
38:04
speak.
38:04
I
38:04
think
38:04
the
38:04
creativity
38:05
came
38:05
out
38:05
in
38:05
different
38:06
ways.
38:07
What
38:07
was
38:07
really
38:07
interesting
38:08
is
38:09
that
38:09
I
38:09
had
38:10
the
38:10
tagline
38:11
that
38:11
I
38:11
would.
38:12
That
38:12
I
38:12
do
38:12
write
38:12
still
38:13
to
38:13
customers.
38:14
I
38:14
wrote
38:14
Moments
38:15
in
38:15
Motion
38:15
with
38:16
Love
38:16
because
38:16
I
38:17
want
38:17
to
38:17
be
38:17
Swimming
38:18
is
38:18
about
38:18
movement
38:18
and
38:19
what
38:19
have
38:19
you,
38:19
but
38:20
also
38:20
is
38:21
about
38:21
loving
38:21
your
38:21
own
38:22
body
38:22
because
38:22
I
38:22
created
38:23
something
38:23
to
38:24
make
38:24
you
38:24
feel
38:24
good
38:24
about
38:25
yourself
38:25
no
38:25
matter
38:25
what
38:26
size
38:26
you
38:27
are.
38:27
And
38:27
the
38:27
only
38:28
reason
38:28
I
38:28
asked
38:29
that
38:29
is
38:29
because
38:30
even
38:31
though
38:31
you
38:31
lost
38:31
Your
38:31
voice
38:32
in
38:32
2006,
38:33
gained
38:34
it
38:34
back
38:34
in
38:34
2011,
38:36
you
38:36
didn't
38:37
write
38:37
your
38:37
book,
38:37
took
38:39
over
38:39
again.
38:40
You
38:40
know
38:40
what?
38:40
I'm
38:40
going
38:41
to
38:41
tell
38:41
you
38:41
because
38:41
I'm
38:41
writing
38:42
another
38:42
book.
38:42
But
38:42
my
38:43
son,
38:43
I'm
38:43
going
38:44
to
38:44
say
38:44
my
38:44
son
38:45
is
38:45
my
38:45
driving
38:45
force
38:46
for
38:46
everything
38:46
that
38:47
I
38:47
have
38:47
done.
38:49
Because
38:50
even
38:50
though
38:50
he
38:51
doesn't
38:51
live
38:51
here
38:51
anymore
38:52
and
38:52
takes
38:52
care
38:53
of
38:53
himself
38:53
very
38:53
well,
38:54
he
38:54
was
38:55
by
38:55
driving
38:55
force
38:56
and
38:56
doing
38:57
things
38:57
to
38:57
make
38:58
him
38:58
know
38:58
that
38:58
you
38:58
should
38:58
never
38:59
give
38:59
up.
39:00
Never
39:00
ever
39:00
give
39:01
up.
39:01
Don't
39:01
give
39:02
up
39:02
on
39:02
your
39:02
dreams
39:03
and
39:03
keep
39:03
believing
39:04
in
39:04
yourself.
39:04
So
39:05
he
39:05
was.
39:06
My
39:06
driving
39:06
was
39:07
to
39:07
present
39:08
that
39:08
you.
39:09
Had
39:09
these
39:09
children
39:10
that
39:10
were
39:10
your
39:10
students.
39:11
I'm
39:11
just
39:12
curious
39:12
on
39:13
how
39:14
much
39:14
of
39:15
each
39:15
student
39:16
is
39:16
in
39:17
your
39:17
book.
39:18
Every
39:18
one
39:18
of
39:19
them
39:19
is
39:19
in
39:19
my
39:19
book.
39:20
Every
39:20
life
39:20
that
39:20
I
39:21
have
39:21
met
39:22
or
39:22
have
39:23
come
39:23
across,
39:23
and
39:24
that's
39:24
a
39:24
lot
39:24
of
39:24
students
39:25
over
39:25
25
39:26
years
39:26
that
39:26
I
39:26
have
39:26
been
39:27
involved
39:27
with,
39:27
especially
39:28
being
39:28
a
39:28
speech
39:28
pathologist.
39:29
You
39:30
have
39:30
over
39:30
35
39:31
to
39:31
45
39:32
students
39:32
per
39:33
year,
39:33
times
39:34
25.
39:34
I
39:35
told
39:35
you
39:35
the
39:35
story
39:36
about
39:36
the
39:36
young
39:36
lady
39:37
or
39:38
when
39:38
I
39:38
didn't
39:38
have
39:39
my
39:39
voice
39:39
and
39:39
worked.
39:41
The
39:42
students
39:42
and
39:42
I
39:43
bonded
39:43
differently
39:44
because
39:44
now
39:44
I
39:44
was
39:45
them.
39:45
I
39:46
had
39:46
a
39:46
disability
39:47
and
39:47
we
39:48
connected
39:48
on
39:48
a
39:48
whole
39:49
other
39:49
level.
39:49
So
39:50
every
39:50
student
39:50
that
39:50
I
39:51
have
39:51
ever
39:51
met
39:52
and
39:52
still
39:52
meet
39:53
and
39:53
any
39:53
other
39:54
student
39:55
Child,
39:56
person,
39:57
they
39:57
are
39:57
part
39:57
of
39:57
this
39:58
book.
39:58
I,
39:58
like
39:59
you
39:59
said,
39:59
you
39:59
have
39:59
the
40:00
composite
40:00
of
40:00
the
40:00
heart
40:01
on
40:01
the
40:02
front
40:02
cover.
40:03
It's
40:03
really
40:04
very
40:04
unique.
40:05
I
40:05
just
40:05
love
40:05
it.
40:06
And
40:06
now
40:07
I
40:07
think
40:07
everybody
40:08
can
40:08
understand
40:09
how
40:09
it
40:09
came
40:09
to
40:10
be.
40:10
Some
40:11
people
40:11
might
40:11
not
40:11
believe
40:12
that
40:12
either,
40:12
because
40:12
a
40:12
lot
40:13
of
40:13
people
40:13
say
40:13
things,
40:14
but
40:14
really,
40:15
I
40:15
went
40:16
to
40:16
sleep.
40:17
Please
40:17
help
40:18
me.
40:18
And
40:18
I
40:18
woke
40:19
up
40:19
and
40:20
like
40:20
I
40:20
said,
40:21
I
40:21
typed
40:21
it
40:21
into
40:22
my
40:22
phone
40:22
because
40:22
I
40:22
didn't
40:23
have
40:23
a
40:23
pen.
40:23
So
40:24
note
40:24
to
40:24
all
40:24
the
40:25
authors
40:25
out
40:25
there.
40:26
Have
40:26
a
40:26
pen
40:27
by
40:27
your
40:27
bed,
40:27
because
40:28
when
40:28
you
40:28
wake
40:28
up
40:28
with
40:28
an
40:28
idea,
40:29
you
40:29
must
40:30
write
40:30
it
40:30
down.
40:31
I
40:31
couldn't
40:31
agree
40:31
with
40:32
you
40:32
more.
40:33
I
40:33
am
40:33
also
40:33
trying
40:34
to
40:35
have
40:35
people
40:36
understand
40:36
because
40:37
a
40:37
lot
40:37
of
40:37
times
40:37
when
40:38
you
40:38
write
40:39
a
40:39
book,
40:39
you
40:39
have
40:39
a
40:40
central
40:40
theme.
40:41
Or
40:42
even
40:43
when
40:43
you
40:43
talk
40:43
to
40:43
children,
40:44
even
40:44
though
40:44
they're
40:45
children.
40:46
Every
40:46
child,
40:47
like
40:47
we
40:47
talked
40:47
about
40:48
earlier,
40:48
is
40:49
different.
40:49
You
40:50
had
40:50
specific
40:51
students
40:51
that
40:51
were
40:52
different.
40:52
But
40:53
when
40:53
I
40:53
listened
40:54
to
40:54
you
40:54
talk
40:54
and
40:55
we
40:55
look
40:55
at
40:55
the
40:55
composite
40:56
of
40:56
your
40:57
book
40:57
and
40:57
how
40:57
it
40:57
was
40:58
put
40:58
together,
40:58
you're
40:59
speaking
40:59
to
40:59
most
41:00
children.
41:00
Talk
41:01
a
41:01
little
41:01
bit
41:01
about
41:01
that
41:02
central
41:02
theme
41:03
and
41:03
how
41:04
talking
41:05
with
41:05
one
41:05
voice,
41:06
almost
41:07
to
41:07
the
41:07
children,
41:08
it's
41:08
true.
41:08
Because
41:09
for
41:10
all
41:10
the
41:10
beautiful
41:11
children
41:11
of
41:11
the
41:11
world,
41:12
because
41:12
they
41:12
really
41:13
have
41:13
to
41:13
know
41:13
how
41:14
they
41:14
are
41:14
our
41:15
future.
41:15
In
41:16
the
41:16
book,
41:16
say
41:16
you
41:17
are
41:17
the
41:17
future.
41:18
Yes,
41:18
I
41:18
do
41:18
say
41:19
that
41:19
the
41:19
book
41:19
is
41:19
for
41:19
every
41:19
woman,
41:20
even
41:20
our
41:20
inner
41:21
child.
41:21
But
41:22
really,
41:22
it's
41:22
talking
41:23
to
41:23
the
41:24
children
41:24
of
41:24
today,
41:25
growing
41:25
up
41:25
in
41:25
this
41:26
world,
41:26
appreciating,
41:27
like
41:27
I
41:27
said,
41:27
the
41:28
love
41:28
of
41:28
yourself
41:29
and
41:30
being
41:30
kind
41:30
to
41:30
each
41:30
other,
41:31
the
41:31
love
41:31
of
41:31
each
41:31
other.
41:32
And
41:32
really
41:32
taking
41:33
it
41:33
the
41:33
step
41:33
further
41:34
of
41:34
loving
41:34
our
41:35
planet.
41:35
You
41:35
have
41:35
to
41:36
have
41:36
appreciation.
41:37
The
41:37
book
41:37
gives
41:37
you
41:37
an
41:38
appreciation
41:39
of
41:39
nature.
41:40
You
41:40
can
41:41
go,
41:41
did
41:41
you
41:41
ever
41:41
have
41:42
a
41:42
butterfly?
41:42
So
41:42
I
41:42
have
41:42
the
41:43
butterfly
41:43
moments.
41:43
There's
41:44
a
41:44
butterfly
41:44
on
41:45
your
41:45
shoulder.
41:46
Feel
41:46
it.
41:46
Did
41:47
you
41:47
ever
41:47
really
41:47
feel.
41:48
I
41:48
never
41:48
felt
41:48
a
41:48
butterfly
41:49
on
41:49
my
41:49
shoulder,
41:49
but
41:49
I
41:49
could
41:50
imagine
41:50
that.
41:51
And
41:51
if
41:51
you
41:51
are
41:52
lucky
41:52
enough
41:53
to
41:53
have
41:53
a
41:53
butterfly
41:53
man
41:54
on
41:54
your
41:54
shoulder,
41:55
wow.
41:56
It's
41:56
interesting
41:57
you
41:57
should
41:57
say
41:57
butterfly
41:58
because
41:59
our
41:59
next
42:00
book,
42:00
which
42:01
actually
42:01
was
42:01
co
42:02
authored
42:02
with
42:02
my
42:03
youngest
42:03
granddaughter,
42:04
who
42:04
I
42:04
talked
42:05
to
42:05
you
42:05
about
42:05
earlier,
42:06
one
42:06
of
42:07
the
42:07
lines
42:07
in
42:08
there
42:08
is.
42:09
It's
42:10
the
42:10
story
42:10
is
42:11
about
42:11
her
42:11
getting
42:12
so
42:13
interested
42:14
in
42:14
wildlife,
42:15
and
42:16
she
42:17
follows
42:17
butterflies
42:20
to
42:20
pastures
42:22
and
42:22
she
42:22
gets
42:22
butterfly
42:23
kisses.
42:24
Oh,
42:24
my
42:24
goodness.
42:25
I'm
42:25
gonna
42:26
love
42:26
that.
42:26
I'm
42:26
gonna
42:27
need
42:27
that
42:27
book.
42:28
That's
42:28
one
42:28
of
42:28
the
42:28
lines
42:29
in
42:29
the
42:29
book
42:29
is
42:30
talking
42:30
about
42:30
butterfly
42:31
kisses.
42:32
It
42:32
was
42:32
for
42:32
my
42:32
son
42:33
from
42:33
when
42:33
he
42:33
was
42:33
younger.
42:34
He
42:34
made
42:34
me
42:34
this
42:34
butterfly.
42:35
But
42:35
you
42:35
remember
42:36
that
42:36
a
42:36
butterfly
42:37
transforms.
42:38
That's
42:39
really
42:39
where
42:39
all
42:39
that
42:39
Comes
42:40
in
42:40
from
42:40
me,
42:41
in
42:41
my
42:41
heart
42:42
is
42:42
that
42:42
I
42:43
was
42:43
transformed.
42:44
Whatever
42:45
was
42:45
going
42:45
on,
42:45
I
42:45
transformed
42:46
myself.
42:47
People
42:47
know
42:48
that.
42:48
It's
42:48
so
42:48
many
42:49
connections.
42:49
But
42:50
I
42:50
knew
42:50
that
42:50
when
42:50
I
42:50
saw
42:51
your
42:51
heart.
42:52
Because
42:53
if
42:53
you
42:53
notice,
42:54
you
42:54
see
42:54
what
42:54
that
42:54
is.
42:55
That's
42:55
a
42:55
piece
42:55
of
42:55
wood,
42:56
correct?
42:56
That's
42:57
correct.
42:57
That's
42:58
okay.
42:59
So
42:59
I'm
42:59
going
42:59
to
42:59
tell
42:59
you
42:59
something.
43:00
That's
43:00
a
43:00
tree
43:00
stump.
43:01
But
43:01
there's
43:01
a
43:01
page
43:02
of
43:02
my
43:02
book
43:02
that
43:02
goes
43:03
like
43:04
this.
43:04
It
43:05
says,
43:05
the
43:06
trees
43:06
of
43:06
wisdom.
43:07
Jesus.
43:08
I
43:08
wrote,
43:09
they
43:09
have
43:09
been
43:09
here
43:10
a
43:10
very
43:10
long
43:10
time.
43:11
So
43:12
many
43:12
moments
43:12
they
43:13
have
43:13
seen.
43:15
I
43:15
believe
43:15
the
43:16
synergy
43:16
is
43:16
incredible
43:17
because
43:17
it
43:17
was
43:18
just
43:18
meant
43:18
to
43:18
be.
43:19
I
43:19
know
43:19
you
43:19
meet
43:19
with
43:19
other
43:20
people,
43:20
but
43:20
sometimes
43:20
it's
43:21
just
43:21
such
43:22
extra.
43:22
I
43:22
want
43:23
to
43:23
show
43:23
you
43:23
something
43:24
that
43:24
we
43:24
did
43:24
with
43:25
the
43:25
heart.
43:26
One
43:26
of
43:26
the
43:26
things
43:27
that
43:27
as
43:28
a
43:28
children's
43:28
book
43:29
author,
43:29
I'm
43:29
always
43:29
looking
43:30
at
43:30
ways.
43:31
Now
43:31
we're
43:31
self
43:32
published.
43:32
I
43:33
keep
43:33
saying
43:33
to
43:33
my
43:34
audience,
43:34
there's
43:34
no
43:35
right
43:35
or
43:35
wrong
43:35
way
43:36
to
43:36
do
43:36
it.
43:36
You
43:37
have
43:37
to
43:37
find
43:37
a
43:37
way
43:37
that
43:38
works
43:38
for
43:38
you.
43:39
I'm
43:40
always
43:40
looking
43:41
at
43:41
making
43:41
improvements
43:42
to
43:43
our
43:43
book.
43:44
We
43:44
have
43:44
more
43:45
books
43:45
in
43:45
the
43:46
pipeline.
43:47
But
43:47
one
43:47
of
43:47
the
43:47
things
43:48
someone
43:48
had
43:48
said
43:49
to
43:49
me
43:49
was,
43:50
oh,
43:50
I
43:50
put
43:50
a
43:50
book
43:51
plate
43:51
in
43:51
my
43:52
book.
43:52
And
43:52
I
43:53
thought,
43:53
a
43:53
book
43:53
plate,
43:54
what's
43:54
that?
43:55
And
43:55
they
43:55
said,
43:56
you
43:56
know
43:56
what?
43:57
Most
43:57
people
43:58
give
43:58
children's
43:59
books
43:59
as
44:00
gifts.
44:01
Yes.
44:01
And
44:02
then
44:02
they'll
44:02
write
44:03
in
44:03
there
44:04
or
44:04
they'll
44:05
say,
44:05
this
44:05
book
44:06
belongs
44:06
to.
44:07
But
44:07
they
44:07
always
44:07
want
44:08
to
44:08
send
44:08
a
44:08
little
44:08
message,
44:09
whether
44:09
it's
44:10
like
44:10
you
44:10
said,
44:10
as
44:11
an
44:11
author
44:12
writing
44:12
a
44:12
message
44:13
to
44:13
someone
44:13
who
44:14
purchased
44:14
it,
44:15
or
44:15
a
44:15
parent
44:16
or
44:16
a
44:16
grandparent
44:17
giving
44:17
it
44:17
as
44:18
a
44:18
gift.
44:18
Somebody
44:19
mentioned
44:19
a
44:20
bookplate.
44:20
Look
44:20
what
44:20
we
44:21
did
44:21
with
44:21
our
44:22
heart.
44:22
At
44:22
the
44:22
front
44:23
of
44:23
our
44:23
book,
44:23
we
44:23
created
44:23
an
44:24
area
44:24
shaped
44:24
like
44:25
our
44:25
heart
44:25
that
44:25
says,
44:25
this
44:26
book
44:26
belongs
44:27
to.
44:28
We're
44:28
on
44:28
the
44:28
same
44:29
page
44:29
of
44:30
a
44:30
new
44:30
book
44:30
in
44:30
the
44:30
Worms,
44:31
too.
44:31
Too.
44:32
It
44:32
was
44:32
the
44:32
book
44:33
that
44:33
I
44:33
had
44:33
wanted
44:33
to
44:33
write
44:34
when
44:34
my
44:34
son
44:34
was
44:34
little,
44:35
when
44:35
he
44:35
was
44:35
born.
44:36
So
44:36
it
44:37
is
44:37
happening.
44:37
I
44:38
have
44:38
a
44:38
foundation
44:39
for
44:39
it.
44:40
But
44:40
I'll
44:40
tell
44:40
you
44:40
as
44:41
soon
44:41
as
44:41
it's
44:41
ready.
44:42
Fantastic.
44:43
When
44:43
I
44:43
think
44:44
of
44:44
your
44:44
heart,
44:44
and
44:44
I
44:44
think,
44:45
Denise,
44:46
you
44:46
could
44:46
do
44:46
a
44:46
book
44:47
plate
44:47
with
44:47
the
44:48
outline
44:48
of
44:48
your.
44:49
And
44:49
put
44:49
that
44:50
right
44:50
at
44:50
the
44:50
front
44:50
of
44:50
your
44:50
books.
44:51
Yeah,
44:51
that
44:52
would.
44:52
That
44:52
would
44:52
look
44:52
beautiful.
44:53
Thank
44:53
you.
44:54
You're
44:54
welcome.
44:54
Tell
44:55
me
44:55
a
44:55
little
44:55
bit
44:55
about
44:55
your
44:56
writing
44:56
process.
44:57
I'm
44:57
going
44:57
to
44:57
tell
44:58
everyone.
44:58
Not
44:58
everyone
44:59
has
45:00
to
45:00
write
45:00
it
45:00
because
45:00
some
45:00
people
45:01
don't
45:01
really
45:02
like
45:02
to
45:03
write.
45:03
Believe
45:03
it
45:03
or
45:03
not,
45:04
some
45:04
people
45:04
rather
45:05
type
45:05
it
45:05
into
45:06
their
45:06
computer.
45:07
Then
45:08
authors
45:08
used
45:08
to
45:09
type
45:09
on
45:09
their
45:09
typewriter.
45:10
Right.
45:10
Or
45:11
you
45:11
could
45:11
talk
45:11
it
45:12
into
45:12
your
45:12
phone.
45:13
I
45:13
have
45:14
nuggets
45:14
of
45:14
wisdom
45:15
coming
45:15
in
45:15
and
45:15
out
45:15
of
45:15
my
45:16
brain
45:16
every
45:16
minute
45:17
that
45:17
if
45:17
I
45:17
don't
45:17
either
45:18
say
45:18
it
45:18
or
45:18
write
45:18
it,
45:18
it
45:19
goes
45:19
away.
45:20
I
45:20
would
45:20
say
45:21
my
45:21
writing
45:22
process.
45:22
I
45:23
have
45:23
a
45:23
different
45:23
style
45:24
of
45:24
writing.
45:24
I
45:24
believe
45:24
everyone
45:25
has
45:25
a
45:25
style
45:25
style.
45:26
I
45:26
think
45:27
people
45:27
I'm
45:28
more
45:29
poetry,
45:29
emotion,
45:30
rhythmic
45:31
kind
45:32
of
45:32
a
45:32
writer.
45:32
I
45:32
don't
45:33
think
45:33
I
45:33
knew
45:33
my
45:34
style
45:34
until
45:34
I
45:35
really
45:35
started
45:36
feeling
45:37
it
45:37
and
45:37
writing
45:37
down.
45:38
People
45:39
journal
45:39
every
45:40
day.
45:40
I
45:40
can't
45:40
say
45:41
I
45:41
journal
45:41
every
45:41
day,
45:42
but
45:43
I
45:43
do
45:44
take
45:44
time
45:45
out
45:45
of
45:45
my.
45:46
At
45:46
least
45:47
once
45:47
or
45:47
twice
45:48
a
45:48
week.
45:48
Things
45:49
that
45:49
come
45:49
into
45:49
my
45:49
mind,
45:50
I
45:50
write
45:50
them
45:50
down
45:51
or
45:53
everyone's
45:53
process
45:53
will
45:54
be
45:54
different.
45:55
Thank
45:55
you
45:55
for
45:55
sharing
45:56
that.
45:56
I
45:56
want
45:56
to
45:56
talk
45:57
to
45:57
you
45:57
a
45:57
little
45:57
bit
45:58
about
45:58
because
45:59
we
45:59
talked
45:59
about
46:00
this
46:00
before
46:01
the
46:01
publishing.
46:02
But
46:03
how
46:03
do
46:03
you
46:04
measure
46:04
for
46:04
you.
46:05
What's
46:05
your
46:05
measurement
46:06
of
46:07
success?
46:08
How
46:08
do
46:08
you
46:09
see
46:09
success
46:09
through
46:10
your
46:10
book?
46:11
Success
46:12
isn't
46:12
always
46:12
monetary.
46:13
But
46:13
yes,
46:13
we
46:14
want
46:14
to
46:14
make
46:14
money.
46:14
Right.
46:15
Because
46:15
we
46:15
put
46:15
money
46:16
in
46:16
and
46:16
we
46:16
want
46:16
to
46:16
see
46:17
a
46:17
return.
46:18
But
46:18
my,
46:19
my
46:19
heart
46:20
is
46:21
in
46:21
this
46:21
book.
46:21
And
46:22
when
46:22
I
46:22
hear
46:23
someone
46:23
say
46:24
this
46:24
saves
46:24
my
46:25
son
46:25
or
46:26
someone
46:26
tells
46:26
me
46:27
this
46:27
touched
46:27
my
46:28
heart
46:28
so
46:28
much,
46:28
you
46:29
don't
46:29
even
46:29
know.
46:29
One
46:30
woman
46:30
said
46:30
to
46:30
me,
46:30
this
46:31
is
46:31
an
46:32
anti
46:32
anxiety
46:33
drug
46:33
without
46:34
the
46:34
pill.
46:35
For
46:35
an
46:35
adult
46:35
to
46:36
say
46:36
that's
46:36
huge.
46:37
Those
46:37
are
46:37
the
46:38
points
46:38
of
46:38
return
46:39
that
46:39
matter
46:39
to
46:40
me
46:40
most.
46:40
So
46:40
I
46:41
think
46:41
because
46:41
it
46:41
came
46:41
out
46:42
when
46:42
it
46:42
did,
46:42
my
46:43
real
46:43
focus
46:44
was
46:44
the
46:44
journey
46:45
of
46:45
helping
46:46
others.
46:46
That's
46:47
exciting
46:47
because
46:47
you
46:47
know
46:48
what?
46:48
Most
46:49
of
46:49
the
46:49
authors
46:50
that
46:50
children's
46:51
book
46:51
authors
46:51
I've
46:52
been
46:52
talking
46:52
to
46:52
so
46:52
far
46:53
have
46:54
just
46:54
published
46:54
their
46:55
first
46:55
book
46:55
or
46:56
their
46:56
first
46:56
book
46:56
came
46:57
out
46:57
maybe
46:57
a
46:57
year
46:58
ago.
46:58
You've
46:58
had
46:58
some
46:59
longevity
47:00
in
47:00
your
47:00
first
47:00
book.
47:01
And
47:01
it
47:01
seems
47:02
to
47:02
me
47:02
we're
47:02
learning
47:03
a
47:03
lot
47:03
about
47:03
what
47:04
the.
47:04
More
47:04
it's
47:05
out
47:05
there.
47:06
Yeah.
47:06
And
47:07
so
47:07
how
47:07
do
47:07
you
47:08
think
47:08
you're
47:09
sustaining
47:10
its
47:10
staying
47:11
power?
47:11
You
47:11
have
47:12
to
47:12
pivot
47:12
to.
47:13
You
47:13
can't
47:13
just
47:14
hope
47:14
that
47:14
it's
47:14
going
47:14
to
47:15
sell
47:15
on
47:15
Amazon
47:15
because
47:16
Amazon
47:16
is
47:16
just
47:16
a
47:17
funnel.
47:17
And
47:18
it's
47:18
wonderful.
47:18
If
47:19
you
47:19
don't
47:19
know
47:19
me
47:20
and
47:20
you
47:20
heard
47:20
about
47:21
the
47:21
book,
47:21
you
47:22
can
47:22
find
47:22
it
47:22
or
47:22
it
47:23
just
47:23
pops
47:23
up
47:23
somehow.
47:24
Amazon
47:25
is
47:25
key
47:25
to
47:26
be
47:26
on
47:26
there
47:26
or
47:26
to
47:27
be
47:27
on
47:27
Barnes
47:28
and
47:28
Noble
47:29
or
47:29
some
47:29
other
47:30
dot
47:30
com.
47:31
But
47:31
the
47:31
most
47:31
important
47:32
thing
47:32
is
47:32
the
47:32
author's
47:33
website
47:33
because
47:34
that
47:34
is
47:34
where
47:35
you
47:35
can
47:35
go.
47:36
And
47:36
I
47:36
sign
47:37
copies.
47:37
So
47:38
anyone
47:38
that
47:38
buys
47:38
it
47:39
from
47:39
there,
47:39
I
47:40
think
47:40
that's
47:40
important
47:40
to
47:41
be
47:41
connected
47:41
to
47:42
the
47:42
author.
47:43
I
47:43
also
47:43
believe
47:44
that
47:44
you
47:44
have
47:44
to
47:45
do
47:45
both
47:45
when
47:46
the
47:46
beginning
47:46
I
47:46
was
47:47
doing
47:47
vet
47:47
fairs,
47:48
vendor
47:48
fairs,
47:49
I
47:49
was
47:49
throwing
47:50
myself
47:50
everywhere,
47:51
I
47:51
was
47:51
everywhere
47:52
and
47:53
going
47:53
to
47:53
schools.
47:54
But
47:54
I
47:55
think
47:55
what
47:55
you
47:55
give
47:56
comes
47:56
back
47:56
to
47:56
you.
47:57
And
47:57
I
47:57
sold
47:58
thousands
47:58
of
47:58
books.
47:59
It
47:59
was
47:59
not
47:59
like
47:59
I
47:59
didn't
48:00
sell
48:00
one,
48:01
not
48:01
because
48:01
of
48:02
Amazon.
48:04
At
48:04
the
48:04
end
48:04
of
48:04
the
48:05
day,
48:05
you've
48:05
got
48:05
to
48:06
be
48:06
out
48:06
there
48:06
promoting
48:07
your
48:07
book.
48:08
That's
48:08
what
48:08
I
48:08
want
48:09
aspiring
48:09
authors
48:10
to
48:10
know.
48:11
I
48:11
was
48:11
doing
48:11
a
48:12
little
48:12
research.
48:12
I
48:12
heard
48:13
that
48:13
the
48:14
average
48:14
children's
48:15
book
48:16
sells
48:17
around
48:17
a
48:18
self
48:18
published,
48:19
sells
48:19
around
48:19
a
48:20
hundred
48:20
copies.
48:21
So
48:22
you
48:22
can
48:22
imagine
48:22
even
48:23
though
48:23
if
48:23
you
48:23
made
48:24
five
48:24
bucks
48:24
a
48:25
book
48:25
or.
48:25
Whatever,
48:26
you're
48:26
not
48:26
getting
48:27
any
48:27
cost
48:27
back.
48:27
At
48:28
all,
48:28
you're
48:28
not,
48:28
you're
48:29
not
48:29
paying
48:29
for
48:30
the
48:31
publishing
48:31
of
48:31
the
48:32
book
48:32
for
48:32
sure.
48:32
And
48:33
then
48:33
I've
48:33
also
48:34
heard
48:34
that
48:35
it,
48:35
if
48:35
you
48:35
just
48:36
get
48:36
it
48:36
published
48:37
by
48:37
a
48:37
traditional
48:38
publisher,
48:39
unfortunately
48:40
by
48:40
the
48:40
time
48:40
you
48:41
get
48:41
your
48:41
little
48:41
piece
48:42
of
48:42
the
48:42
action,
48:43
you
48:43
gotta
48:44
sell
48:44
thousands
48:45
and
48:45
thousands
48:45
of
48:45
books
48:46
just
48:46
to
48:46
make
48:46
the
48:46
same
48:47
kind
48:47
of
48:47
money
48:47
you
48:48
would
48:48
if
48:48
you
48:48
sold
48:48
a
48:49
hundred
48:49
as
48:49
a
48:49
self
48:50
published
48:51
author.
48:51
So
48:52
again,
48:52
I
48:53
always
48:53
say
48:53
to
48:53
people
48:54
it
48:54
has
48:54
to
48:54
be
48:55
about
48:55
the
48:55
passion
48:56
and
48:56
what's
48:56
in
48:56
your
48:56
heart
48:57
first.
48:57
It's
48:58
not
48:58
a
48:59
path
48:59
to
48:59
fame
49:00
and
49:00
fortune.
49:00
It's
49:01
a
49:01
lonely
49:01
road.
49:02
People
49:02
don't
49:02
think
49:03
that
49:03
just
49:03
because.
49:04
Okay,
49:04
so
49:04
writing
49:04
the
49:05
book
49:05
is
49:05
about
49:05
what
49:06
you
49:06
want
49:06
to
49:06
put
49:06
into
49:07
the
49:07
world
49:07
and
49:07
what
49:07
you
49:08
want
49:08
for
49:08
the
49:08
world
49:08
to
49:09
get
49:09
from
49:09
it.
49:10
Right.
49:10
But
49:10
you
49:10
have
49:10
to
49:10
get
49:11
it
49:11
to
49:11
the
49:11
world.
49:12
Absolutely.
49:12
I
49:13
want
49:13
to
49:13
pick
49:13
up
49:13
on
49:13
that
49:14
because
49:14
that
49:14
leads
49:14
me
49:15
to
49:15
my
49:15
next
49:16
question
49:16
is
49:17
what
49:17
advice
49:18
would
49:18
you
49:18
give
49:19
aspiring
49:21
children's
49:21
book
49:22
authors?
49:23
My
49:23
first
49:24
thing,
49:24
if
49:24
you
49:24
really,
49:25
if
49:25
you
49:25
have
49:25
a
49:26
book
49:26
in
49:26
you
49:26
and
49:27
you're
49:27
writing
49:27
it
49:27
down,
49:28
you
49:29
should
49:29
work
49:29
towards
49:30
getting
49:30
it
49:30
published
49:30
because
49:31
it
49:31
needs
49:31
to
49:31
be
49:31
in
49:31
the
49:31
world.
49:32
Whomever
49:33
gets
49:33
it,
49:33
it's
49:34
their
49:34
books
49:35
are
49:35
evergreen.
49:36
Like
49:36
you
49:36
just
49:36
said,
49:36
you
49:37
can't
49:37
buy
49:37
every
49:37
children's
49:38
book.
49:38
But
49:38
whoever
49:38
gets
49:39
it,
49:39
it
49:39
gets
49:40
into
49:40
a
49:40
hand
49:40
and
49:40
it
49:41
just
49:41
could
49:41
be
49:42
passed
49:42
down
49:42
or
49:42
be
49:42
somewhere
49:43
else.
49:44
Don't
49:44
give
49:44
up
49:44
on
49:45
your
49:45
dream
49:45
because
49:46
it
49:46
is
49:46
a
49:46
dream.
49:46
If
49:46
it's
49:47
in
49:47
you,
49:47
it
49:47
needs
49:47
to
49:48
be
49:48
out
49:49
there.
49:49
Like
49:50
I
49:50
said,
49:50
you're
49:50
an
49:50
author.
49:50
If
49:51
you
49:51
pen
49:51
and
49:51
paper
49:51
it,
49:52
if
49:52
you
49:52
publish
49:53
it,
49:53
pick
49:53
the
49:54
road
49:54
that
49:54
works
49:54
for
49:55
you
49:55
at
49:56
the
49:56
moment.
49:56
Doesn't
49:56
mean
49:57
you
49:57
can't
49:58
then
49:58
go
49:58
to
49:58
a
49:59
publisher
49:59
after
50:00
that
50:00
you
50:00
can
50:00
take
50:00
a
50:00
self
50:01
published
50:01
book
50:01
to
50:01
a
50:01
publisher
50:02
and
50:02
we
50:03
do.
50:03
If
50:03
you
50:04
then
50:04
you
50:04
feel
50:04
like
50:04
you
50:05
made
50:05
enough
50:05
money,
50:05
you
50:06
can
50:06
do
50:06
that.
50:06
For
50:07
me,
50:07
my
50:08
reasoning
50:09
was
50:10
I'm
50:10
very
50:10
smart,
50:11
I'm
50:11
very
50:11
creative,
50:12
but
50:12
I
50:12
don't
50:12
Know
50:13
all
50:13
these
50:13
money
50:14
things,
50:15
they
50:15
don't
50:15
work
50:15
in
50:15
my
50:16
brain
50:17
and
50:17
that's
50:17
okay.
50:18
Then
50:18
I
50:18
need
50:18
someone
50:18
else.
50:19
You
50:20
have
50:20
to
50:20
have
50:20
the
50:20
right
50:21
team,
50:22
maybe
50:22
around
50:23
you
50:23
which
50:23
avenue
50:24
can
50:24
make
50:24
your
50:25
book
50:25
work
50:25
the
50:26
best.
50:27
I'm
50:27
against
50:28
traditional.
50:28
You
50:29
really.
50:29
They
50:30
really
50:30
look
50:30
for
50:30
most
50:31
people
50:31
that,
50:32
well,
50:32
celebrities
50:33
go
50:33
traditional
50:33
route
50:34
because
50:34
they're
50:34
already
50:34
known.
50:35
So
50:35
that's
50:36
where
50:36
that
50:36
happens.
50:37
If
50:37
you're
50:37
known
50:37
and
50:38
you
50:38
go
50:38
traditional,
50:39
they'll
50:39
take
50:39
a
50:40
chance
50:40
on
50:40
you,
50:40
but
50:40
they
50:40
still
50:41
do
50:41
take
50:41
a
50:41
lot
50:41
of
50:42
cost.
50:43
And
50:43
what
50:43
if
50:43
they
50:43
give
50:43
you
50:44
money?
50:44
They're
50:44
making
50:45
it
50:45
back.
50:45
So
50:46
it's
50:46
almost
50:46
like
50:46
a
50:46
business.
50:47
We've
50:48
all
50:48
heard
50:48
as
50:49
authors
50:49
that
50:50
sometimes
50:51
once
50:51
you've
50:51
written
50:52
like
50:52
you
50:53
were
50:53
talking
50:53
about
50:53
self
50:53
publishing
50:54
or
50:55
Harry
50:55
Bread,
50:56
once
50:56
you
50:56
get
50:56
known
50:57
there's
50:57
a
50:58
possibility
50:58
by
50:59
your
50:59
third
50:59
or
50:59
fourth
51:00
book,
51:00
some
51:01
somebody's
51:01
coming
51:02
after
51:02
you
51:02
as
51:02
a
51:03
publishing
51:03
house
51:03
and
51:04
saying,
51:04
wow,
51:05
you're
51:05
a
51:05
hot
51:05
commodity.
51:06
That's
51:06
something
51:07
to
51:07
aspire
51:08
to.
51:08
If
51:08
you,
51:08
you're
51:08
doing,
51:09
you're
51:09
working
51:09
your
51:10
path,
51:10
you're
51:10
working
51:10
your
51:11
book
51:11
and
51:11
it
51:11
becomes
51:11
successful.
51:12
You
51:12
don't
51:13
know
51:13
the
51:13
next
51:13
step
51:14
of
51:14
what
51:14
book
51:14
you
51:14
write,
51:15
what
51:15
have
51:15
you.
51:16
So,
51:16
yes,
51:16
you
51:17
should
51:17
not,
51:18
definitely
51:18
not
51:19
give
51:19
up
51:19
on
51:19
that
51:20
dream.
51:20
Definitely
51:21
go
51:21
whichever
51:22
path
51:22
can
51:22
serve
51:23
you
51:23
from
51:23
the
51:24
beginning
51:24
and
51:24
then
51:25
just
51:25
keep
51:25
working
51:25
it.
51:26
It
51:26
leads
51:27
me
51:27
to
51:27
my
51:27
next
51:27
question,
51:28
which
51:28
is,
51:28
as
51:29
we
51:29
talked
51:29
about
51:29
in
51:29
the
51:30
very
51:30
beginning
51:30
of
51:31
the
51:31
show,
51:31
I
51:32
have
51:32
three
51:33
main
51:33
reasons
51:34
that
51:34
I'm
51:34
doing
51:35
this
51:35
show
51:35
and
51:36
two
51:36
of
51:36
them
51:36
are
51:37
speaking
51:38
to
51:39
the
51:39
readers.
51:40
What
51:40
kind
51:40
of
51:40
an
51:40
encouragement
51:41
for
51:42
readers
51:42
would
51:42
you
51:43
like
51:43
to
51:43
share?
51:44
Why
51:44
should
51:44
they
51:44
engage
51:45
with
51:45
you
51:45
as
51:45
an
51:46
author?
51:46
Why
51:46
should
51:46
they
51:47
purchase
51:48
your
51:48
book
51:48
as
51:49
a
51:49
reader?
51:50
I
51:50
myself
51:51
read
51:51
my
51:51
book,
51:52
so
51:52
I
51:52
think
51:53
that's
51:53
something
51:53
important.
51:54
When
51:54
an
51:54
author
51:55
creates
51:55
a
51:55
book,
51:56
are
51:56
you
51:56
going
51:56
to
51:57
read
51:57
it?
51:58
So
51:58
I
51:58
want
51:58
my
51:59
readers
51:59
to
51:59
know
51:59
that
51:59
this
52:00
book
52:00
has
52:01
my
52:01
heart
52:02
in
52:02
it
52:03
and
52:03
it
52:03
could
52:03
heal
52:04
your
52:04
heart.
52:05
And
52:05
I
52:06
think
52:06
that's
52:06
what
52:06
really
52:07
this
52:07
book
52:07
is
52:07
about.
52:08
Heart
52:08
healing
52:09
and
52:09
bringing
52:09
you
52:09
to
52:10
a
52:10
place
52:10
of
52:10
wellness
52:11
and
52:11
being
52:12
secure
52:13
in
52:13
the
52:13
moment.
52:13
Because
52:14
us
52:14
together
52:15
right
52:15
now
52:15
is
52:15
the
52:15
only
52:16
moment
52:16
that's
52:17
really
52:17
going
52:17
on.
52:18
And
52:18
that
52:18
is
52:18
all
52:18
we
52:19
have.
52:19
If
52:19
anyone
52:20
wants
52:20
take
52:21
a
52:21
moment
52:21
to
52:22
just
52:22
be,
52:23
just
52:23
be,
52:24
just
52:24
be.
52:24
So
52:24
that's
52:25
what
52:25
this
52:25
book
52:25
does
52:25
for
52:26
you.
52:26
And
52:26
if
52:27
I
52:27
could
52:27
take
52:27
you
52:27
on
52:27
that
52:28
journey
52:28
with
52:28
me,
52:28
if
52:29
you're
52:29
reading
52:29
my
52:29
book,
52:30
then
52:30
I
52:30
did
52:30
my
52:30
job.
52:31
Awesome.
52:33
Final
52:33
thoughts?
52:34
Are
52:34
there
52:35
final
52:35
thoughts
52:35
you'd
52:36
like
52:36
to
52:36
share?
52:37
My
52:37
one
52:37
final
52:38
thought
52:38
is
52:38
I'm
52:38
so
52:39
grateful
52:39
and
52:40
I
52:40
feel
52:40
blessed
52:40
to
52:40
be
52:41
here
52:41
today
52:41
with
52:41
you
52:41
to
52:42
share
52:42
all
52:42
this
52:42
information
52:43
and
52:43
love
52:44
because
52:44
it's
52:45
all
52:45
about
52:45
the
52:45
moment's
52:45
emotion
52:46
with
52:46
love
52:47
and
52:48
heart.
52:49
Finally,
52:49
to
52:50
all
52:50
the
52:50
authors
52:50
out
52:51
there,
52:51
keep
52:52
dreaming,
52:53
but
52:53
keep
52:53
working.
52:54
Keep
52:54
dreaming.
52:55
But
52:55
you
52:55
gotta
52:55
put
52:55
the
52:55
work.
52:56
It
52:56
doesn't
52:56
just
52:56
happen
52:57
in
