  Cody
• 4:50
  has
• 4:51
  written
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  children's
• 4:52
  book,
• 4:52
  as
• 4:52
  he
• 4:52
  stated,
• 4:53
  take
• 4:53
  Me
• 4:53
  Back
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  Oklahoma.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  look
• 4:55
  forward
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  conversation.
• 4:56
  It's
• 4:57
  interesting,
• 4:58
  Cody.
• 4:59
  Your
• 4:59
  book
• 4:59
  got
• 5:00
  me
• 5:00
  thinking
• 5:01
  over
• 5:01
  my
• 5:01
  lifetime
• 5:02
  about
• 5:03
  take
• 5:04
  me
• 5:04
  back
• 5:04
  to
• 5:05
  somewhere
• 5:05
  special.
• 5:06
  And
• 5:06
  actually
• 5:07
  there's
• 5:07
  two
• 5:07
  places
• 5:08
  in
• 5:08
  my
• 5:08
  life
• 5:08
  that
• 5:09
  I'd
• 5:09
  love
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  take
• 5:10
  me
• 5:10
  back
• 5:11
  to.
• 5:11
  It
• 5:12
  really
• 5:12
  got
• 5:12
  me
• 5:12
  thinking.
• 5:13
  I'm
• 5:13
  hoping
• 5:14
  that
• 5:14
  we
• 5:14
  can
• 5:14
  get
• 5:14
  people
• 5:15
  thinking
• 5:15
  about,
• 5:16
  ah,
• 5:17
  this
• 5:17
  is
• 5:17
  interesting.
• 5:18
  And
• 5:19
  where
• 5:19
  would
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  like
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  go
• 5:20
  back
• 5:20
  to?
• 5:21
  We'll
• 5:21
  jump
• 5:21
  right
• 5:21
  into
• 5:22
  that
• 5:22
  if
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  could
• 5:23
  tell
• 5:24
  me
• 5:26
  what
• 5:26
  children's
• 5:27
  book
• 5:27
  authorship
• 5:28
  means
• 5:28
  to
• 5:29
  you.
• 5:30
  What
• 5:30
  children's
• 5:31
  book
• 5:31
  authorship
• 5:32
  means
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  me
• 5:32
  is.
• 5:32
  It's
• 5:33
  more
• 5:33
  than
• 5:34
  with
• 5:35
  non
• 5:35
  children's
• 5:36
  authorship.
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  feel
• 5:37
  like
• 5:37
  ours
• 5:38
  comes
• 5:38
  with
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  little
• 5:38
  more
• 5:39
  weight
• 5:40
  and
• 5:41
  I
• 5:42
  don't
• 5:42
  want
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  say
• 5:42
  important,
• 5:43
  but
• 5:43
  important
• 5:44
  to
• 5:44
  future
• 5:45
  generations
• 5:45
  and
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  upcoming
• 5:46
  generations.
• 5:47
  Like
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  my
• 5:48
  word
• 5:48
  choice
• 5:48
  felt
• 5:49
  especially
• 5:49
  important
• 5:51
  because
• 5:51
  I
• 5:52
  knew
• 5:52
  that
• 5:52
  it
• 5:52
  could
• 5:53
  impact
• 5:53
  how
• 5:53
  children
• 5:54
  see
• 5:54
  where
• 5:55
  they
• 5:55
  grew
• 5:55
  up.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:56
  for
• 5:56
  me
• 5:56
  particularly
• 5:57
  Oklahoma
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  can
• 5:58
  see
• 5:58
  that
• 5:59
  our
• 5:59
  great
• 5:59
  state
• 5:59
  that
• 6:00
  not
• 6:00
  many
• 6:00
  think
• 6:01
  it's
• 6:01
  great.
• 6:01
  And
• 6:02
  it's
• 6:02
  funny
• 6:02
  because
• 6:02
  I
• 6:02
  interviewed
• 6:03
  Charlotte
• 6:03
  Glaze
• 6:04
  from
• 6:04
  Oklahoma
• 6:05
  episode
• 6:05
  23.
• 6:06
  She
• 6:06
  wrote
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  book
• 6:07
  called
• 6:07
  Storm
• 6:08
  Trucks
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  it's.
• 6:10
  And
• 6:10
  okay,
• 6:11
  so
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  can
• 6:11
  imagine
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  theme,
• 6:12
  but
• 6:13
  she
• 6:13
  loves
• 6:14
  it.
• 6:14
  Yeah.
• 6:15
  And.
• 6:15
  And
• 6:16
  so
• 6:16
  it's
• 6:17
  quite
• 6:17
  interesting.
• 6:18
  Tell
• 6:18
  me
• 6:18
  about
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  inspiration
• 6:20
  I'm
• 6:21
  gathering.
• 6:21
  Of
• 6:22
  course
• 6:22
  Oklahoma
• 6:23
  means
• 6:23
  something
• 6:23
  very
• 6:24
  special
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  you,
• 6:24
  but
• 6:25
  tell
• 6:25
  us
• 6:25
  the
• 6:26
  inspiration
• 6:27
  behind
• 6:28
  your
• 6:28
  book.
• 6:28
  What
• 6:28
  inspired
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  to
• 6:29
  write
• 6:29
  it.
• 6:31
  Absolutely.
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  grew
• 6:32
  up
• 6:32
  in
• 6:32
  Oklahoma
• 6:33
  for
• 6:33
  18
• 6:34
  years.
• 6:35
  My
• 6:35
  father
• 6:35
  is
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  historian
• 6:37
  of
• 6:37
  specifically
• 6:38
  Oklahoma
• 6:39
  history
• 6:39
  and
• 6:40
  also
• 6:40
  an
• 6:40
  author.
• 6:41
  And
• 6:41
  all
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  his
• 6:41
  books
• 6:42
  are
• 6:42
  either
• 6:42
  about
• 6:42
  Oklahoma
• 6:43
  or
• 6:43
  Oklahoman.
• 6:44
  But
• 6:44
  growing
• 6:45
  up,
• 6:45
  I
• 6:45
  did
• 6:45
  not
• 6:45
  appreciate
• 6:46
  it.
• 6:46
  I
• 6:47
  had
• 6:47
  a
• 6:47
  great
• 6:47
  childhood,
• 6:48
  but
• 6:48
  I
• 6:48
  was
• 6:49
  dying
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  move
• 6:49
  away.
• 6:50
  And
• 6:51
  so
• 6:51
  my
• 6:51
  parents
• 6:51
  encouraged
• 6:52
  me
• 6:52
  to
• 6:53
  go
• 6:53
  to
• 6:53
  college
• 6:54
  out
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  state,
• 6:54
  as
• 6:55
  did
• 6:55
  many
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  my
• 6:55
  siblings.
• 6:56
  And
• 6:57
  I
• 6:57
  went
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  school
• 6:57
  at
• 6:57
  Wake
• 6:58
  Forest
• 6:58
  University
• 6:58
  in
• 6:59
  North
• 6:59
  Carolina
• 6:59
  for
• 6:59
  undergrad.
• 7:00
  And
• 7:00
  while
• 7:01
  I
• 7:01
  was
• 7:01
  out
• 7:01
  there,
• 7:02
  I
• 7:02
  got
• 7:02
  homesick.
• 7:03
  And
• 7:03
  as
• 7:04
  every
• 7:04
  time
• 7:04
  I
• 7:05
  would
• 7:05
  go
• 7:05
  home
• 7:05
  or
• 7:06
  bring
• 7:06
  college
• 7:07
  friends
• 7:07
  back
• 7:07
  home,
• 7:07
  the
• 7:08
  things
• 7:08
  I
• 7:08
  showed
• 7:08
  them
• 7:09
  showed
• 7:09
  me
• 7:10
  how
• 7:10
  unique
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  state
• 7:11
  is
• 7:12
  and
• 7:12
  all
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  things
• 7:13
  that
• 7:13
  are
• 7:13
  special
• 7:13
  about
• 7:14
  it.
• 7:14
  We
• 7:14
  have
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  very
• 7:14
  special
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  unique
• 7:16
  history
• 7:16
  compared
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  other
• 7:17
  states
• 7:17
  in
• 7:18
  that
• 7:18
  country.
• 7:19
  Our
• 7:19
  state
• 7:19
  has
• 7:20
  been
• 7:20
  important
• 7:20
  in
• 7:20
  a
• 7:21
  lot
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  things
• 7:21
  throughout
• 7:22
  American
• 7:22
  history,
• 7:23
  and
• 7:23
  I
• 7:24
  didn't
• 7:24
  appreciate
• 7:24
  that
• 7:24
  living
• 7:25
  there.
• 7:25
  So
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  book
• 7:25
  is
• 7:26
  my
• 7:26
  love
• 7:26
  letter
• 7:26
  to
• 7:27
  my
• 7:27
  home
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  to
• 7:29
  help
• 7:29
  other
• 7:29
  kids,
• 7:30
  particularly
• 7:30
  from
• 7:30
  Oklahoma.
• 7:31
  But
• 7:31
  really
• 7:31
  from
• 7:31
  anywhere,
• 7:32
  appreciate
• 7:32
  where
• 7:32
  they
• 7:32
  came
• 7:33
  from.
• 7:34
  Unfortunately,
• 7:35
  it
• 7:35
  makes
• 7:35
  leaving
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  do
• 7:36
  that.
• 7:36
  But
• 7:38
  I
• 7:38
  hope
• 7:38
  that
• 7:39
  kids
• 7:39
  can
• 7:39
  appreciate
• 7:39
  where
• 7:40
  they
• 7:40
  come
• 7:41
  from
• 7:41
  without
• 7:41
  having
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  leave.
• 7:43
  It's
• 7:43
  interesting
• 7:44
  you
• 7:44
  should
• 7:44
  say
• 7:44
  that,
• 7:45
  because
• 7:45
  my
• 7:45
  dad
• 7:46
  was
• 7:46
  in
• 7:46
  the
• 7:46
  armed
• 7:47
  forces,
• 7:47
  so
• 7:48
  we
• 7:48
  traveled
• 7:49
  a
• 7:49
  lot,
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  I
• 7:50
  lived
• 7:51
  in
• 7:51
  21
• 7:51
  different
• 7:52
  residences
• 7:53
  in
• 7:53
  20,
• 7:54
  21
• 7:54
  years
• 7:55
  of
• 7:55
  my
• 7:55
  life.
• 7:55
  But
• 7:55
  I,
• 7:56
  during
• 7:57
  those
• 7:57
  21
• 7:57
  years,
• 7:58
  I
• 7:58
  did
• 7:59
  find
• 7:59
  one
• 8:00
  place
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  I
• 8:01
  had
• 8:01
  that
• 8:01
  same
• 8:02
  feel
• 8:02
  as
• 8:02
  you
• 8:03
  had.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  then
• 8:04
  in
• 8:04
  my
• 8:04
  adult
• 8:04
  life,
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  same
• 8:05
  kind
• 8:05
  of
• 8:05
  thing
• 8:06
  happened.
• 8:06
  So
• 8:07
  that's
• 8:07
  why
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  book
• 8:08
  resonates
• 8:09
  with
• 8:09
  me,
• 8:09
  because
• 8:09
  it's
• 8:10
  it
• 8:10
  really
• 8:11
  for
• 8:11
  anyone
• 8:12
  reading
• 8:12
  it.
• 8:12
  Like
• 8:13
  you
• 8:13
  said,
• 8:13
  they
• 8:13
  don't
• 8:13
  have
• 8:13
  to
• 8:14
  come
• 8:14
  from
• 8:14
  Oklahoma
• 8:15
  to
• 8:15
  appreciate
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  whole
• 8:17
  meaning
• 8:17
  behind
• 8:17
  the
• 8:18
  book.
• 8:19
  How
• 8:19
  did
• 8:19
  you
• 8:19
  start
• 8:20
  it?
• 8:20
  Here
• 8:20
  we
• 8:20
  are.
• 8:21
  You've
• 8:21
  gone,
• 8:21
  you've
• 8:22
  moved
• 8:22
  out
• 8:23
  of
• 8:23
  the
• 8:23
  state.
• 8:24
  You've
• 8:24
  done
• 8:25
  your
• 8:25
  university.
• 8:26
  You
• 8:26
  now
• 8:27
  have
• 8:27
  a
• 8:27
  career.
• 8:28
  And
• 8:30
  so
• 8:30
  tell
• 8:30
  us,
• 8:30
  how
• 8:31
  did
• 8:31
  this
• 8:31
  all
• 8:31
  start?
• 8:32
  How
• 8:33
  did
• 8:33
  you
• 8:33
  start
• 8:33
  this
• 8:33
  love
• 8:34
  letter
• 8:34
  to
• 8:34
  Oklahoma?
• 8:37
  Actually,
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  year
• 8:38
  Prior,
• 8:39
  though,
• 8:39
  around
• 8:40
  2021,
• 8:45
  I
• 8:45
  had
• 8:45
  the
• 8:46
  idea
• 8:46
  to
• 8:46
  write
• 8:47
  a
• 8:47
  children's
• 8:48
  book.
• 8:48
  My
• 8:48
  father,
• 8:49
  for
• 8:49
  his
• 8:49
  75th
• 8:50
  birthday.
• 8:50
  So
• 8:50
  he's
• 8:50
  written
• 8:51
  countless.
• 8:52
  He's
• 8:52
  written,
• 8:52
  I
• 8:53
  think,
• 8:53
  around
• 8:53
  170
• 8:54
  books
• 8:55
  all
• 8:55
  about
• 8:55
  Oklahoma
• 8:56
  or
• 8:56
  Oklahoman
• 8:57
  and
• 8:57
  many
• 8:57
  of
• 8:57
  those
• 8:58
  Bing
• 8:58
  biographies.
• 8:59
  And
• 8:59
  so
• 9:00
  for
• 9:00
  his
• 9:00
  75th
• 9:00
  birthday,
• 9:01
  I
• 9:01
  had
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  idea
• 9:02
  to
• 9:02
  write
• 9:02
  a
• 9:02
  children's
• 9:03
  book
• 9:03
  to
• 9:04
  go
• 9:04
  into
• 9:04
  the.
• 9:04
  There's
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  series
• 9:05
  from
• 9:05
  the
• 9:06
  Oklahoma
• 9:06
  hall
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  Fame
• 9:06
  called
• 9:07
  I
• 9:07
  Am
• 9:07
  Oklahoma.
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  can't
• 9:08
  think
• 9:08
  of
• 9:08
  anyone
• 9:09
  who's
• 9:09
  more
• 9:09
  Oklahoma
• 9:10
  than
• 9:10
  my
• 9:10
  father.
• 9:11
  So
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  wrote
• 9:11
  his
• 9:12
  biography
• 9:12
  without
• 9:13
  him
• 9:13
  knowing.
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  got
• 9:14
  a
• 9:14
  quote
• 9:15
  from
• 9:15
  the
• 9:16
  former
• 9:16
  governor
• 9:16
  of
• 9:17
  the
• 9:17
  state,
• 9:18
  people
• 9:18
  who
• 9:18
  practice
• 9:19
  law
• 9:19
  with
• 9:19
  him
• 9:19
  or
• 9:19
  people
• 9:19
  whose
• 9:20
  biographies
• 9:20
  he's
• 9:21
  written.
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  used
• 9:22
  my
• 9:22
  family
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  help
• 9:22
  and
• 9:23
  then
• 9:23
  surprised
• 9:23
  it
• 9:23
  to
• 9:24
  him.
• 9:24
  Then
• 9:24
  we
• 9:25
  got
• 9:25
  it
• 9:25
  published,
• 9:25
  and
• 9:25
  it's
• 9:26
  a
• 9:26
  really
• 9:26
  sweet
• 9:26
  book.
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  loved
• 9:27
  the
• 9:28
  process
• 9:28
  and
• 9:29
  that
• 9:29
  was
• 9:29
  my
• 9:29
  love
• 9:29
  letter
• 9:30
  to
• 9:30
  my
• 9:30
  dad.
• 9:30
  But
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  felt
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  owed
• 9:32
  it
• 9:32
  to
• 9:32
  my
• 9:33
  dad
• 9:33
  and
• 9:34
  myself
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  where
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  grew
• 9:35
  up
• 9:35
  to
• 9:36
  do
• 9:36
  something
• 9:37
  similar
• 9:37
  for
• 9:37
  Uncle
• 9:38
  Homa.
• 9:38
  So
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  protagonist
• 9:40
  is
• 9:40
  a
• 9:40
  little
• 9:40
  boy,
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  while
• 9:41
  his
• 9:41
  name
• 9:41
  is
• 9:41
  not
• 9:42
  Cody,
• 9:42
  like
• 9:42
  me,
• 9:43
  he
• 9:43
  is
• 9:43
  me
• 9:44
  innocent.
• 9:45
  Oh,
• 9:45
  good.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:46
  so
• 9:47
  did
• 9:47
  you
• 9:48
  wrote
• 9:48
  your
• 9:48
  second
• 9:49
  children's
• 9:49
  book
• 9:49
  is
• 9:50
  one
• 9:50
  to
• 9:50
  your
• 9:50
  dad.
• 9:51
  So
• 9:51
  you
• 9:51
  wrote
• 9:51
  it
• 9:52
  after
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  one
• 9:52
  you
• 9:53
  wrote
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  your
• 9:53
  dad?
• 9:54
  Yes.
• 9:56
  Okay.
• 9:56
  The
• 9:56
  idea
• 9:57
  stemmed
• 9:57
  from
• 9:57
  that.
• 9:58
  All
• 9:58
  right.
• 9:59
  You're
• 9:59
  a
• 10:00
  published
• 10:00
  author
• 10:00
  of
• 10:00
  two
• 10:01
  children's
• 10:01
  books,
• 10:02
  is
• 10:02
  that
• 10:02
  correct?
• 10:03
  I
• 10:03
  am.
• 10:04
  Okay.
• 10:04
  And
• 10:06
  tell
• 10:06
  us
• 10:07
  a
• 10:07
  little
• 10:07
  bit
• 10:07
  about
• 10:09
  besides
• 10:11
  writing
• 10:13
  something
• 10:14
  to
• 10:14
  your
• 10:14
  dad
• 10:15
  and
• 10:15
  then,
• 10:16
  like
• 10:16
  you
• 10:17
  said,
• 10:17
  a
• 10:17
  love
• 10:17
  letter
• 10:18
  to
• 10:18
  the
• 10:18
  state
• 10:18
  of
• 10:19
  Oklahoma.
• 10:20
  Have
• 10:20
  you
• 10:20
  thought
• 10:20
  about.
• 10:21
  Okay,
• 10:21
  now
• 10:22
  how
• 10:22
  do
• 10:22
  I
• 10:22
  build
• 10:23
  a
• 10:23
  book
• 10:23
  business
• 10:24
  plan
• 10:24
  to
• 10:25
  support
• 10:25
  this
• 10:25
  book.
• 10:26
  So
• 10:26
  what
• 10:27
  was
• 10:27
  your
• 10:27
  intention?
• 10:29
  I
• 10:29
  would
• 10:29
  say
• 10:29
  my
• 10:29
  intention
• 10:30
  was
• 10:31
  I
• 10:31
  want
• 10:31
  it
• 10:31
  to
• 10:31
  be
• 10:32
  in
• 10:32
  the
• 10:32
  hands
• 10:32
  of
• 10:33
  kids
• 10:33
  in
• 10:33
  Oklahoma,
• 10:34
  but
• 10:34
  also
• 10:34
  anywhere
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  in
• 10:37
  schools
• 10:38
  whenever
• 10:39
  they're
• 10:39
  learning
• 10:39
  about
• 10:39
  their
• 10:40
  home.
• 10:40
  I
• 10:40
  think
• 10:40
  in
• 10:40
  Oklahoma
• 10:41
  a
• 10:41
  teacher
• 10:41
  could
• 10:42
  use
• 10:42
  this
• 10:42
  and
• 10:42
  I've
• 10:43
  written
• 10:43
  lesson
• 10:43
  plans.
• 10:44
  Oklahoma
• 10:45
  teacher
• 10:45
  could
• 10:45
  use
• 10:46
  this
• 10:46
  when
• 10:46
  they
• 10:46
  learn
• 10:46
  about
• 10:47
  their
• 10:47
  home
• 10:47
  state.
• 10:48
  And
• 10:48
  then
• 10:48
  even
• 10:49
  teachers
• 10:49
  in
• 10:50
  other
• 10:50
  states
• 10:51
  could
• 10:51
  use
• 10:51
  the
• 10:51
  same
• 10:52
  way
• 10:52
  and
• 10:52
  then
• 10:52
  they
• 10:52
  connect
• 10:53
  it
• 10:53
  back
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  state
• 10:53
  they
• 10:54
  grew
• 10:54
  up
• 10:54
  in
• 10:54
  or
• 10:54
  the
• 10:55
  country
• 10:55
  or
• 10:55
  Providence
• 10:56
  they
• 10:56
  grew
• 10:56
  up
• 10:56
  in.
• 10:57
  Oh,
• 10:57
  neat.
• 10:57
  So
• 10:58
  did
• 10:58
  you.
• 10:58
  So
• 10:59
  you
• 10:59
  said
• 10:59
  you
• 10:59
  developed
• 11:00
  a
• 11:00
  lesson
• 11:00
  plan.
• 11:02
  I've
• 11:02
  developed
• 11:03
  a
• 11:03
  few
• 11:03
  and
• 11:04
  have
• 11:04
  sent
• 11:04
  them
• 11:04
  out
• 11:04
  to
• 11:04
  some
• 11:05
  teachers
• 11:06
  who
• 11:06
  I
• 11:06
  know
• 11:06
  have
• 11:06
  bought
• 11:06
  the
• 11:07
  book
• 11:07
  in
• 11:07
  Oklahoma.
• 11:08
  Has
• 11:08
  anybody
• 11:09
  used
• 11:09
  it
• 11:10
  in
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  classroom
• 11:10
  setting?
• 11:12
  I'm
• 11:13
  not
• 11:13
  sure
• 11:13
  yet,
• 11:13
  but
• 11:13
  I
• 11:14
  hope
• 11:14
  they
• 11:14
  do
• 11:14
  soon
• 11:14
  now
• 11:15
  that
• 11:15
  we're
• 11:15
  back
• 11:15
  in
• 11:15
  full
• 11:15
  swing
• 11:16
  in
• 11:16
  the
• 11:16
  school
• 11:16
  year.
• 11:17
  Fantastic.
• 11:17
  What
• 11:18
  a
• 11:18
  great
• 11:18
  idea.
• 11:18
  And
• 11:18
  that's
• 11:19
  the
• 11:19
  first
• 11:19
  time
• 11:19
  I've
• 11:19
  ever
• 11:20
  heard
• 11:20
  anyone
• 11:21
  use
• 11:21
  that
• 11:21
  technique
• 11:22
  to
• 11:23
  build
• 11:23
  out
• 11:23
  their
• 11:24
  book
• 11:24
  business
• 11:24
  plan.
• 11:25
  So
• 11:25
  thank
• 11:25
  you
• 11:25
  for
• 11:26
  sharing.
• 11:26
  Of
• 11:26
  course.
• 11:26
  I'm
• 11:27
  a
• 11:27
  full
• 11:27
  time
• 11:27
  educator
• 11:28
  so
• 11:28
  that's
• 11:28
  always
• 11:28
  on
• 11:29
  the
• 11:29
  top
• 11:29
  of
• 11:29
  my
• 11:30
  mind.
• 11:30
  Tell
• 11:31
  us
• 11:31
  a
• 11:31
  little
• 11:31
  bit.
• 11:31
  I
• 11:32
  know
• 11:32
  your
• 11:32
  book
• 11:33
  comes
• 11:33
  in
• 11:33
  three
• 11:34
  formats.
• 11:35
  A
• 11:35
  soft
• 11:35
  cover,
• 11:35
  a
• 11:36
  hard
• 11:36
  cover
• 11:37
  and
• 11:37
  an
• 11:37
  ebook
• 11:38
  format.
• 11:39
  So
• 11:39
  tell
• 11:39
  us
• 11:39
  a
• 11:39
  little
• 11:40
  bit
• 11:40
  about
• 11:40
  each
• 11:41
  of
• 11:41
  those
• 11:42
  formats
• 11:43
  and
• 11:43
  where
• 11:43
  are
• 11:43
  you
• 11:44
  selling
• 11:44
  them?
• 11:46
  Yes,
• 11:46
  they
• 11:46
  can
• 11:47
  be
• 11:47
  found
• 11:47
  on
• 11:48
  on
• 11:48
  Amazon
• 11:49
  or
• 11:49
  anywhere
• 11:50
  that
• 11:50
  you
• 11:50
  can
• 11:50
  buy
• 11:50
  book
• 11:51
  and
• 11:52
  on
• 11:52
  Yorkshire
• 11:53
  Publishing
• 11:53
  website,
• 11:54
  my
• 11:54
  publisher.
• 11:55
  But
• 11:55
  they
• 11:55
  can
• 11:55
  be
• 11:56
  fine
• 11:56
  anywhere
• 11:56
  where
• 11:56
  books
• 11:57
  are
• 11:57
  sold.
• 11:57
  I
• 11:58
  prefer
• 11:58
  the
• 11:58
  hardcover
• 11:59
  because
• 11:59
  I
• 11:59
  love
• 12:00
  to
• 12:00
  hold
• 12:00
  the
• 12:01
  book.
• 12:01
  I
• 12:01
  find
• 12:01
  it
• 12:01
  to
• 12:01
  be
• 12:01
  durable.
• 12:02
  The
• 12:03
  Kindle
• 12:03
  and
• 12:03
  Nook
• 12:04
  versions
• 12:04
  are
• 12:04
  great
• 12:05
  for
• 12:05
  people
• 12:05
  who
• 12:06
  like
• 12:06
  to
• 12:06
  read
• 12:06
  digitally.
• 12:07
  I
• 12:07
  personally
• 12:08
  don't
• 12:08
  like
• 12:08
  to
• 12:09
  like
• 12:09
  we
• 12:09
  look
• 12:09
  at
• 12:09
  screen
• 12:10
  so
• 12:10
  often
• 12:10
  that
• 12:10
  I
• 12:10
  love
• 12:10
  to
• 12:11
  just
• 12:11
  hold
• 12:11
  the
• 12:11
  book.
• 12:12
  I
• 12:12
  think
• 12:12
  there's
• 12:12
  a
• 12:12
  lot
• 12:13
  in
• 12:13
  getting
• 12:13
  to
• 12:13
  hold
• 12:13
  the
• 12:14
  page
• 12:14
  and
• 12:14
  flip
• 12:14
  the
• 12:14
  page
• 12:15
  and
• 12:15
  draw
• 12:16
  on
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  page,
• 12:17
  interact
• 12:17
  with
• 12:18
  it
• 12:18
  tactilely.
• 12:19
  I
• 12:19
  prefer
• 12:19
  the
• 12:20
  hardcover,
• 12:20
  but
• 12:20
  they're
• 12:20
  all
• 12:21
  available
• 12:21
  everywhere.
• 12:22
  Good
• 12:22
  for
• 12:22
  you.
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  always
• 12:23
  mention
• 12:24
  to
• 12:24
  people
• 12:24
  there's
• 12:25
  really
• 12:25
  three
• 12:25
  types
• 12:26
  of
• 12:26
  publishing.
• 12:27
  You've
• 12:27
  got
• 12:28
  indie
• 12:28
  publishing
• 12:28
  where
• 12:29
  you're
• 12:29
  the
• 12:29
  publisher,
• 12:30
  you've
• 12:30
  got
• 12:31
  self
• 12:31
  publishing
• 12:32
  or
• 12:32
  hybrid
• 12:32
  publishing
• 12:33
  and
• 12:34
  then
• 12:34
  you've
• 12:34
  got
• 12:34
  traditional
• 12:35
  publishing
• 12:36
  and
• 12:36
  I
• 12:36
  believe
• 12:36
  you've
• 12:37
  gone
• 12:37
  through
• 12:38
  Yorkshire
• 12:38
  publishing
• 12:40
  and
• 12:41
  they
• 12:41
  are
• 12:41
  a
• 12:42
  hybrid
• 12:42
  self
• 12:43
  publisher.
• 12:44
  They
• 12:45
  do
• 12:45
  hybrid
• 12:45
  self
• 12:46
  publishing
• 12:46
  and
• 12:46
  they
• 12:46
  do
• 12:47
  traditional
• 12:48
  publishing.
• 12:48
  And
• 12:48
  so
• 12:48
  this
• 12:49
  book
• 12:49
  is
• 12:49
  traditionally
• 12:49
  published,
• 12:50
  which
• 12:50
  has
• 12:51
  been
• 12:51
  wonderful.
• 12:52
  Oh
• 12:53
  fantastic.
• 12:53
  But
• 12:54
  the
• 12:54
  neat
• 12:54
  thing
• 12:54
  about
• 12:56
  even
• 12:56
  though
• 12:57
  it's
• 12:57
  being
• 12:57
  traditionally
• 12:58
  published,
• 12:58
  were
• 12:59
  you
• 12:59
  involved
• 13:00
  in
• 13:01
  the
• 13:01
  development
• 13:02
  of
• 13:02
  the
• 13:03
  illustrations?
• 13:05
  So
• 13:05
  even
• 13:06
  before
• 13:06
  I
• 13:06
  reached
• 13:07
  out
• 13:07
  to
• 13:07
  publishers,
• 13:08
  I
• 13:08
  wanted
• 13:09
  specifically
• 13:09
  to
• 13:09
  have
• 13:09
  an
• 13:10
  illustrator
• 13:10
  from
• 13:10
  Oklahoma.
• 13:11
  And
• 13:11
  so
• 13:12
  I
• 13:12
  worked
• 13:12
  with
• 13:12
  an
• 13:12
  illustrator
• 13:13
  named
• 13:13
  Camilla
• 13:14
  Crittenden
• 13:14
  and
• 13:15
  we
• 13:15
  developed
• 13:15
  the
• 13:15
  book
• 13:16
  completely
• 13:16
  before
• 13:17
  taking
• 13:17
  it
• 13:18
  anywhere.
• 13:19
  Oh,
• 13:19
  fantastic.
• 13:20
  Now
• 13:20
  I
• 13:20
  have
• 13:21
  never
• 13:21
  talked
• 13:21
  to
• 13:22
  anyone
• 13:22
  that's
• 13:22
  done
• 13:22
  that
• 13:23
  before.
• 13:23
  So
• 13:24
  you
• 13:24
  actually
• 13:25
  wrote
• 13:25
  the
• 13:25
  book.
• 13:26
  You
• 13:26
  found
• 13:27
  an
• 13:27
  illustrator
• 13:28
  from
• 13:28
  Oklahoma,
• 13:28
  which
• 13:29
  is
• 13:29
  pretty
• 13:29
  cool.
• 13:30
  Was
• 13:30
  she
• 13:30
  born
• 13:30
  in
• 13:30
  Oklahoma?
• 13:32
  Yes,
• 13:32
  he's
• 13:33
  born
• 13:33
  in
• 13:33
  Oklahoma,
• 13:33
  but
• 13:33
  like
• 13:34
  me,
• 13:34
  no
• 13:34
  longer
• 13:34
  lives
• 13:35
  in
• 13:35
  Oklahoma.
• 13:35
  Okay,
• 13:36
  and
• 13:36
  how
• 13:36
  did
• 13:37
  you
• 13:37
  find
• 13:37
  your
• 13:38
  illustrator?
• 13:38
  Like,
• 13:38
  how
• 13:39
  did
• 13:39
  you
• 13:39
  find
• 13:39
  an
• 13:39
  illustrator.
• 13:40
  From
• 13:41
  Oklahoma
• 13:43
  on
• 13:43
  just
• 13:43
  search
• 13:44
  on
• 13:44
  a
• 13:44
  search
• 13:44
  engine.
• 13:45
  I
• 13:45
  just
• 13:45
  did
• 13:46
  keywords.
• 13:46
  So
• 13:47
  Illustrator,
• 13:48
  like
• 13:48
  looking
• 13:49
  for
• 13:49
  work,
• 13:49
  Oklahoma
• 13:50
  and
• 13:50
  combed
• 13:51
  through
• 13:51
  countless
• 13:52
  number
• 13:52
  and
• 13:53
  I
• 13:53
  really
• 13:53
  enjoyed
• 13:53
  her
• 13:53
  art
• 13:54
  style.
• 13:55
  And
• 13:55
  I
• 13:55
  am
• 13:56
  very
• 13:56
  particular.
• 13:56
  So
• 13:57
  I
• 13:57
  wanted
• 13:57
  to
• 13:58
  develop
• 13:58
  things
• 13:59
  before
• 14:00
  the
• 14:00
  eyes
• 14:00
  and
• 14:01
  mouth
• 14:01
  of
• 14:01
  a
• 14:01
  publisher.
• 14:03
  Wow.
• 14:03
  Wow.
• 14:04
  You
• 14:04
  both
• 14:05
  collaborated
• 14:05
  together.
• 14:07
  You
• 14:07
  produced
• 14:08
  the
• 14:08
  book
• 14:08
  and
• 14:09
  what
• 14:09
  kind
• 14:09
  of
• 14:09
  files
• 14:09
  did
• 14:10
  you
• 14:10
  have
• 14:11
  that
• 14:11
  now
• 14:11
  when
• 14:12
  you
• 14:12
  took
• 14:12
  it
• 14:12
  to
• 14:13
  Yorkshire
• 14:13
  Publishing
• 14:14
  and
• 14:14
  said,
• 14:15
  we'd
• 14:15
  like
• 14:15
  you
• 14:15
  to
• 14:16
  publish
• 14:16
  this,
• 14:16
  and
• 14:17
  they
• 14:17
  said,
• 14:17
  this
• 14:17
  is
• 14:17
  great.
• 14:18
  We'll
• 14:18
  do
• 14:18
  a
• 14:19
  traditional
• 14:19
  publishing
• 14:20
  deal
• 14:21
  with
• 14:21
  you.
• 14:21
  Explain
• 14:22
  all
• 14:22
  that.
• 14:24
  It's
• 14:24
  pretty
• 14:24
  simple
• 14:25
  process.
• 14:25
  They
• 14:25
  did
• 14:25
  have
• 14:26
  some
• 14:26
  things
• 14:26
  that
• 14:26
  they
• 14:27
  thought
• 14:27
  would
• 14:27
  be
• 14:27
  best
• 14:28
  to
• 14:28
  change,
• 14:28
  whether
• 14:29
  it
• 14:29
  was
• 14:29
  colors
• 14:30
  on
• 14:30
  a
• 14:30
  page
• 14:30
  or
• 14:31
  words.
• 14:31
  And
• 14:31
  me
• 14:32
  and
• 14:32
  Illustrator
• 14:32
  were
• 14:32
  able
• 14:33
  to
• 14:33
  do
• 14:33
  that
• 14:33
  pretty
• 14:34
  seamlessly.
• 14:35
  I'm
• 14:35
  not
• 14:35
  sure
• 14:35
  of
• 14:35
  all
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  file
• 14:36
  types
• 14:36
  and
• 14:36
  everything.
• 14:37
  I
• 14:37
  would
• 14:37
  just
• 14:37
  pass
• 14:38
  those
• 14:38
  along
• 14:38
  because
• 14:39
  I'm
• 14:39
  not
• 14:39
  a
• 14:39
  very
• 14:39
  techy
• 14:40
  person.
• 14:41
  Okay.
• 14:41
  It
• 14:41
  went
• 14:42
  really
• 14:42
  smoothly
• 14:43
  and
• 14:44
  it
• 14:44
  was
• 14:44
  a
• 14:45
  long
• 14:45
  process
• 14:45
  because
• 14:46
  of
• 14:46
  how
• 14:46
  publishing
• 14:47
  works.
• 14:47
  But
• 14:47
  it
• 14:48
  was
• 14:48
  more
• 14:48
  than
• 14:49
  how
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  book
• 14:50
  was
• 14:50
  delivered
• 14:50
  to
• 14:51
  them
• 14:51
  is
• 14:52
  not
• 14:52
  far
• 14:52
  off
• 14:53
  from
• 14:53
  the
• 14:53
  final
• 14:53
  product.
• 14:54
  Okay,
• 14:55
  so
• 14:56
  when
• 14:56
  you
• 14:56
  say
• 14:56
  deliver
• 14:56
  to
• 14:57
  them,
• 14:57
  did
• 14:57
  you
• 14:58
  guys
• 14:58
  deliver
• 14:58
  it
• 14:59
  like
• 14:59
  a
• 14:59
  hard
• 14:59
  copy
• 15:00
  or
• 15:00
  did
• 15:01
  you
• 15:01
  deliver
• 15:01
  it
• 15:02
  through
• 15:02
  a
• 15:02
  digital
• 15:03
  copy?
• 15:03
  How
• 15:04
  did
• 15:04
  you
• 15:04
  deliver
• 15:04
  it?
• 15:06
  So
• 15:07
  we.
• 15:07
  The
• 15:08
  COVID
• 15:08
  and
• 15:08
  back
• 15:08
  cover
• 15:09
  were
• 15:09
  designed,
• 15:09
  but
• 15:09
  we
• 15:10
  didn't
• 15:10
  have
• 15:10
  the
• 15:10
  publishing
• 15:11
  page
• 15:11
  and
• 15:12
  we
• 15:12
  had
• 15:12
  never
• 15:12
  printed
• 15:13
  it
• 15:13
  or
• 15:13
  anything.
• 15:13
  So
• 15:14
  it
• 15:14
  was
• 15:14
  just
• 15:15
  like
• 15:15
  files
• 15:16
  of
• 15:16
  the
• 15:16
  illustrations
• 15:17
  with
• 15:17
  the
• 15:17
  words
• 15:17
  on
• 15:17
  top.
• 15:18
  Oh,
• 15:18
  wow.
• 15:20
  You
• 15:20
  know
• 15:20
  what?
• 15:20
  Thank
• 15:20
  you
• 15:20
  for
• 15:21
  sharing
• 15:21
  that
• 15:21
  because
• 15:21
  I.
• 15:22
  You're
• 15:22
  the
• 15:22
  first
• 15:23
  one.
• 15:23
  I
• 15:23
  think
• 15:23
  you're
• 15:24
  my
• 15:24
  49th
• 15:25
  or
• 15:25
  50th
• 15:26
  children's
• 15:27
  book
• 15:27
  interview,
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  I've.
• 15:29
  No
• 15:29
  one's
• 15:29
  ever
• 15:29
  said,
• 15:30
  wow,
• 15:30
  this
• 15:30
  is
• 15:30
  what
• 15:30
  I've
• 15:31
  done.
• 15:31
  Pretty
• 15:32
  remarkable.
• 15:33
  Hats
• 15:33
  off
• 15:33
  to
• 15:34
  you
• 15:34
  and
• 15:34
  your
• 15:35
  illustrator.
• 15:37
  Tell
• 15:37
  us
• 15:38
  about
• 15:38
  the.
• 15:39
  Are
• 15:39
  you
• 15:39
  sharing
• 15:41
  the
• 15:41
  book
• 15:42
  with
• 15:42
  the
• 15:42
  illustrator?
• 15:43
  Like,
• 15:43
  how
• 15:43
  does
• 15:43
  that
• 15:44
  work
• 15:44
  with
• 15:44
  the
• 15:44
  publishing
• 15:45
  rights
• 15:45
  and
• 15:45
  stuff
• 15:46
  like
• 15:46
  that?
• 15:48
  I
• 15:49
  am
• 15:49
  the
• 15:49
  contract
• 15:50
  holder,
• 15:50
  so
• 15:51
  the
• 15:51
  book
• 15:51
  technically
• 15:52
  belongs
• 15:52
  to
• 15:53
  me.
• 15:53
  But
• 15:53
  we
• 15:54
  have
• 15:54
  a
• 15:54
  great
• 15:54
  relationship
• 15:55
  and
• 15:55
  we
• 15:55
  are
• 15:55
  like
• 15:55
  still
• 15:56
  collaborating
• 15:56
  together
• 15:57
  on
• 15:57
  other
• 15:57
  things.
• 15:58
  So
• 15:58
  it's
• 15:59
  nice
• 15:59
  there.
• 16:00
  Terrific.
• 16:00
  And
• 16:01
  in
• 16:01
  terms
• 16:01
  of
• 16:02
  compensation,
• 16:02
  did
• 16:03
  you
• 16:03
  pay
• 16:04
  for
• 16:04
  the
• 16:04
  illustrations,
• 16:06
  or
• 16:07
  is
• 16:07
  your
• 16:08
  illustrator
• 16:08
  earning
• 16:09
  part
• 16:09
  of
• 16:09
  the
• 16:09
  revenue?
• 16:10
  How
• 16:10
  is
• 16:10
  that
• 16:10
  working?
• 16:12
  I
• 16:12
  paid
• 16:13
  for
• 16:13
  them.
• 16:14
  Okay.
• 16:14
  Okay.
• 16:15
  So
• 16:15
  that's
• 16:15
  good
• 16:15
  to
• 16:15
  know.
• 16:16
  I
• 16:16
  just
• 16:16
  want
• 16:16
  to
• 16:16
  be
• 16:16
  clear
• 16:17
  with
• 16:17
  people
• 16:17
  as
• 16:17
  they.
• 16:18
  Because
• 16:18
  a
• 16:18
  lot
• 16:18
  of
• 16:19
  our
• 16:19
  listeners
• 16:20
  are
• 16:20
  aspiring
• 16:21
  children's
• 16:21
  book
• 16:21
  authors.
• 16:22
  And
• 16:22
  so
• 16:23
  I
• 16:23
  just
• 16:23
  want

  I'm

  understand

  in

  be

  of

  that.

  Okay,

  Like,

• 17:21
  you
• 17:21
  see
• 17:22
  developing

  it
• 17:23
  with

  How

• 17:27
  Is
• 17:28
  that
• 17:28
  what
• 17:28
  you
• 17:28
  asked?
• 17:28
  Yes.
• 17:30
  I
• 17:31
  am
• 17:31
  not
• 17:31
  a
• 17:31
  very
• 17:32
  online
• 17:32
  person,
• 17:34
  and
• 17:34
  so
• 17:34
  it
• 17:34
  is
• 17:34
  hard
• 17:35
  for
• 17:35
  me.
• 17:35
  I
• 17:36
  struggle
• 17:36
  with
• 17:36
  the
• 17:37
  putting
• 17:37
  it
• 17:37
  out
• 17:38
  there
• 17:38
  and
• 17:38
  promoting
• 17:39
  it,
• 17:39
  but
• 17:39
  I
• 17:40
  do
• 17:40
  have.
• 17:40
  Cody
• 17:40
  Burke.com
• 17:41
  is
• 17:41
  my
• 17:41
  author's
• 17:41
  website,
• 17:42
  and
• 17:42
  I
• 17:42
  made
• 17:42
  that
• 17:43
  entirely
• 17:43
  myself.
• 17:44
  It
• 17:45
  is
• 17:45
  not
• 17:45
  very
• 17:45
  flashy,
• 17:46
  but
• 17:46
  I
• 17:46
  think
• 17:46
  it's
• 17:46
  very
• 17:47
  functional
• 17:47
  and
• 17:48
  I
• 17:48
  think
• 17:49
  it
• 17:49
  looks
• 17:49
  nice.
• 17:49
  I
• 17:49
  would
• 17:50
  like
• 17:50
  to
• 17:50
  say
• 17:50
  it
• 17:50
  looks
• 17:50
  nice.
• 17:51
  Great.
• 17:51
  And
• 17:52
  it's
• 17:52
  important.
• 17:52
  Again,
• 17:53
  I
• 17:53
  tell
• 17:53
  everybody,
• 17:54
  you
• 17:54
  don't
• 17:54
  have
• 17:54
  to
• 17:54
  be
• 17:55
  a
• 17:55
  tech
• 17:55
  genius,
• 17:57
  but
• 17:57
  it's
• 17:57
  important
• 17:57
  you
• 17:58
  have
• 17:58
  a
• 17:58
  home
• 17:58
  for
• 17:58
  your
• 17:59
  book.
• 17:59
  So
• 18:00
  that.
• 18:01
  And
• 18:01
  that's
• 18:01
  what
• 18:01
  you've
• 18:01
  done.
• 18:02
  You've
• 18:02
  accomplished
• 18:02
  that.
• 18:03
  And
• 18:03
  it
• 18:03
  sounds
• 18:04
  like
• 18:04
  you're
• 18:04
  working
• 18:04
  on
• 18:05
  some
• 18:05
  other
• 18:05
  stuff
• 18:05
  that
• 18:06
  could
• 18:06
  end
• 18:06
  up
• 18:06
  on
• 18:06
  your
• 18:06
  website.
• 18:08
  Yes,
• 18:09
  I
• 18:09
  am.
• 18:09
  Okay.

  And
• 18:10
  social

  is.

  And

  I
• 19:25
  explained

  more.

  And

  then

  and
• 19:27
  the

• 19:28
  I
• 19:28
  guided
• 19:29
  people
• 19:29
  on
• 19:29
  where
• 19:29
  they
• 19:29
  could
• 19:29
  purchase
• 19:30
  it
• 19:30
  and
• 19:31
  what
• 19:31
  it
• 19:31
  meant
• 19:31
  to
• 19:31
  me

  Terrific.

  Did

  I

  believe,
• 19:46
  though
• 19:47
  I

  think

• 20:09
  and.
• 20:09
  Yes,
• 20:09
  sir.
• 20:10
  And
• 20:10
  you
• 20:10
  said
• 20:11
  it's
• 20:12
  really
• 20:12
  a
• 20:12
  reflection
• 20:13
  of
• 20:13
  Cody.
• 20:14
  Yeah.
• 20:15
  Tell
• 20:15
  us
• 20:15
  how
• 20:15
  you
• 20:16
  came
• 20:16
  up
• 20:16
  with
• 20:16
  the
• 20:17
  name
• 20:17
  Thomas
• 20:18
  and
• 20:20
  tell
• 20:20
  us
• 20:21
  about
• 20:21
  the
• 20:21
  whole
• 20:22
  motivation,
• 20:24
  how
• 20:24
  you
• 20:24
  saw
• 20:24
  yourself
• 20:25
  in
• 20:25
  that
• 20:26
  story.
• 20:27
  I
• 20:27
  truly
• 20:27
  believe
• 20:28
  that
• 20:28
  everything
• 20:28
  I
• 20:28
  ever
• 20:29
  write,
• 20:29
  whether
• 20:30
  that
• 20:30
  be
• 20:30
  a
• 20:30
  novel,
• 20:31
  children's
• 20:31
  book,
• 20:31
  or
• 20:31
  a
• 20:32
  play,
• 20:32
  will
• 20:32
  be
• 20:32
  a
• 20:32
  reflection
• 20:33
  of
• 20:33
  me.
• 20:35
  That's
• 20:35
  just
• 20:35
  where
• 20:35
  all
• 20:36
  of
• 20:36
  my
• 20:36
  ideas
• 20:36
  come
• 20:36
  from.
• 20:37
  Some
• 20:37
  reflection
• 20:37
  of
• 20:38
  me.
• 20:38
  But
• 20:38
  I
• 20:39
  don't
• 20:39
  want
• 20:39
  every
• 20:39
  character
• 20:40
  I
• 20:40
  ever
• 20:40
  write
• 20:40
  to
• 20:40
  be
• 20:40
  named
• 20:40
  Cody.
• 20:42
  And
• 20:42
  so
• 20:43
  I
• 20:43
  thought,
• 20:43
  I
• 20:43
  tried
• 20:44
  to
• 20:44
  think
• 20:44
  back
• 20:44
  to
• 20:44
  the
• 20:45
  age
• 20:45
  that
• 20:45
  this
• 20:46
  character
• 20:46
  was.
• 20:47
  And
• 20:47
  what
• 20:47
  I
• 20:47
  loved
• 20:48
  more
• 20:48
  than
• 20:48
  anything
• 20:48
  in
• 20:49
  the
• 20:49
  world
• 20:49
  at
• 20:49
  this
• 20:49
  age
• 20:50
  was
• 20:50
  Thomas
• 20:50
  the
• 20:50
  Tank
• 20:51
  Engine.
• 20:51
  So
• 20:51
  he
• 20:52
  is
• 20:52
  named
• 20:52
  after
• 20:52
  Thomas
• 20:52
  the
• 20:53
  Tank
• 20:53
  Engine.
• 20:53
  Okay.
• 20:54
  Thank
• 20:54
  you
• 20:54
  for
• 20:55
  sharing
• 20:55
  that.
• 20:56
  Because
• 20:56
  it's
• 20:56
  always
• 20:56
  interesting
• 20:57
  about
• 20:57
  how
• 20:58
  we
• 20:58
  come
• 20:58
  up
• 20:58
  with
• 20:58
  the
• 20:59
  different
• 20:59
  names
• 20:59
  for
• 21:00
  our
• 21:00
  characters.
• 21:01
  So
• 21:01
  thank
• 21:01
  you
• 21:01
  for
• 21:02
  sharing
• 21:02
  that.
• 21:03
  And
• 21:03
  as
• 21:04
  you
• 21:04
  wrote
• 21:05
  the
• 21:05
  book,
• 21:07
  were
• 21:07
  a
• 21:07
  lot
• 21:07
  of
• 21:08
  the
• 21:09
  happenings
• 21:11
  that
• 21:11
  was
• 21:11
  your
• 21:11
  life?
• 21:13
  Yeah,
• 21:13
  they're
• 21:14
  thoughts
• 21:14
  I
• 21:14
  can
• 21:14
  remember
• 21:15
  having.
• 21:15
  I
• 21:16
  remember
• 21:16
  being
• 21:16
  on
• 21:16
  road
• 21:16
  trips
• 21:17
  and
• 21:17
  thinking,
• 21:17
  wow,
• 21:18
  this
• 21:18
  is
• 21:18
  so
• 21:18
  boring.
• 21:19
  And
• 21:19
  my
• 21:19
  father,
• 21:19
  who's
• 21:20
  a
• 21:20
  historian,
• 21:20
  I
• 21:20
  did
• 21:21
  not
• 21:21
  appreciate
• 21:22
  when
• 21:22
  I
• 21:22
  grew
• 21:22
  up,
• 21:23
  every
• 21:23
  town
• 21:23
  we
• 21:24
  passed
• 21:24
  on
• 21:24
  a
• 21:24
  road
• 21:24
  trip
• 21:25
  to
• 21:25
  see
• 21:25
  my
• 21:25
  grandma,
• 21:25
  he
• 21:26
  would
• 21:26
  know
• 21:27
  the
• 21:27
  population,
• 21:28
  what
• 21:28
  famous
• 21:29
  people
• 21:29
  were
• 21:29
  from
• 21:29
  there,
• 21:29
  what
• 21:30
  it's
• 21:30
  known
• 21:30
  for,
• 21:30
  when
• 21:31
  it
• 21:31
  was
• 21:31
  founded.
• 21:31
  And
• 21:32
  I
• 21:32
  could
• 21:32
  not
• 21:32
  have
• 21:32
  cared
• 21:33
  less.
• 21:34
  And
• 21:34
  as
• 21:35
  an
• 21:35
  adult,
• 21:35
  I
• 21:35
  appreciate
• 21:36
  all
• 21:36
  of
• 21:36
  those
• 21:36
  things.
• 21:36
  And
• 21:37
  I
• 21:37
  love
• 21:37
  that
• 21:37
  my
• 21:37
  dad
• 21:37
  knows
• 21:38
  all
• 21:38
  of
• 21:38
  that.
• 21:38
  But
• 21:39
  as
• 21:39
  a
• 21:39
  kid,
• 21:39
  I
• 21:39
  just
• 21:39
  remember
• 21:40
  hearing.
• 21:40
  I
• 21:40
  heard.
• 21:41
  I
• 21:41
  always
• 21:42
  think
• 21:42
  that
• 21:42
  I
• 21:42
  Know
• 21:42
  the
• 21:42
  second
• 21:43
  most
• 21:43
  about
• 21:43
  Oklahoma
• 21:44
  of
• 21:44
  anyone
• 21:44
  ever
• 21:45
  because
• 21:45
  I
• 21:45
  listened
• 21:45
  to
• 21:46
  my
• 21:46
  dad
• 21:46
  talk,
• 21:46
  you
• 21:46
  know,
• 21:47
  the
• 21:47
  most,
• 21:48
  and
• 21:48
  I
• 21:48
  thought
• 21:49
  I
• 21:49
  just.
• 21:49
  I
• 21:50
  didn't
• 21:50
  see
• 21:50
  the
• 21:50
  value
• 21:50
  in
• 21:51
  it
• 21:51
  until
• 21:51
  I
• 21:51
  got
• 21:51
  to
• 21:51
  see
• 21:52
  the
• 21:52
  rest.
• 21:52
  We
• 21:52
  were
• 21:52
  well
• 21:53
  traveled,
• 21:53
  but
• 21:53
  I
• 21:54
  never
• 21:54
  lived
• 21:54
  anywhere
• 21:54
  else
• 21:55
  until
• 21:55
  undergrad.
• 21:56
  And
• 21:56
  then
• 21:56
  being
• 21:56
  out
• 21:56
  there
• 21:57
  and
• 21:57
  seeing
• 21:58
  everything
• 21:59
  made
• 21:59
  me
• 21:59
  appreciate
• 22:00
  it
• 22:00
  afterwards.
• 22:01
  Wow.
• 22:02
  Talk
• 22:02
  to
• 22:02
  us
• 22:03
  a
• 22:03
  little
• 22:03
  bit
• 22:03
  about
• 22:03
  the
• 22:04
  character
• 22:04
  development
• 22:05
  of
• 22:05
  Thomas.
• 22:06
  Tell
• 22:06
  us
• 22:08
  what
• 22:08
  was
• 22:08
  your
• 22:09
  approach
• 22:10
  to
• 22:10
  Thomas
• 22:11
  like?
• 22:11
  How
• 22:12
  did
• 22:12
  you
• 22:12
  develop
• 22:13
  him?
• 22:15
  I
• 22:15
  know
• 22:15
  you
• 22:15
  said
• 22:15
  you
• 22:16
  drew
• 22:16
  your
• 22:16
  own
• 22:16
  personal
• 22:17
  experiences,
• 22:17
  but
• 22:18
  did
• 22:18
  you.
• 22:19
  Was
• 22:20
  there
• 22:20
  anything
• 22:20
  else
• 22:21
  that
• 22:21
  motivated
• 22:21
  you
• 22:22
  in
• 22:22
  the
• 22:22
  development
• 22:23
  of
• 22:23
  his
• 22:23
  character?
• 22:25
  I
• 22:25
  wanted
• 22:25
  him
• 22:25
  to
• 22:26
  be
• 22:26
  relatable.
• 22:27
  I
• 22:27
  wanted
• 22:28
  him
• 22:28
  to
• 22:28
  be
• 22:28
  true
• 22:28
  to
• 22:28
  me,
• 22:29
  and
• 22:30
  I
• 22:30
  wanted
• 22:30
  him.
• 22:31
  I
• 22:31
  did
• 22:32
  not
• 22:32
  realize
• 22:32
  as
• 22:32
  a
• 22:32
  child,
• 22:33
  I
• 22:33
  wanted
• 22:34
  him
• 22:34
  to
• 22:34
  be
• 22:34
  different
• 22:34
  from
• 22:34
  me,
• 22:35
  but
• 22:35
  I
• 22:35
  wanted
• 22:35
  him
• 22:35
  to
• 22:36
  realize
• 22:37
  and
• 22:37
  name
• 22:38
  as
• 22:38
  many
• 22:38
  things
• 22:39
  he
• 22:39
  could
• 22:39
  think
• 22:39
  about
• 22:39
  that
• 22:40
  made
• 22:40
  Oklahoma
• 22:41
  a
• 22:41
  unique
• 22:42
  and
• 22:42
  special
• 22:42
  place
• 22:42
  as
• 22:43
  he
• 22:43
  could.
• 22:43
  And
• 22:44
  so
• 22:44
  it
• 22:44
  all
• 22:44
  led
• 22:44
  back
• 22:44
  to
• 22:45
  that.
• 22:45
  So
• 22:45
  everywhere
• 22:46
  he
• 22:46
  went,
• 22:47
  he
• 22:47
  takes
• 22:47
  something
• 22:48
  back
• 22:48
  from
• 22:48
  that
• 22:49
  and
• 22:49
  realizes
• 22:50
  what's
• 22:50
  special
• 22:51
  about
• 22:51
  his
• 22:52
  home.
• 22:52
  Did
• 22:52
  you
• 22:53
  sneak
• 22:53
  a
• 22:53
  little
• 22:53
  of
• 22:53
  your
• 22:54
  dad's
• 22:54
  personality
• 22:55
  into
• 22:55
  Thomas?
• 22:58
  I
• 22:58
  think
• 22:58
  I
• 22:58
  did
• 22:58
  at
• 22:59
  the
• 22:59
  end
• 22:59
  there.
• 23:01
  Yeah.
• 23:03
  I
• 23:04
  love
• 23:04
  how
• 23:05
  take.
• 23:05
  Your
• 23:06
  title
• 23:06
  says
• 23:06
  it
• 23:06
  all.
• 23:07
  So
• 23:07
  you
• 23:07
  could
• 23:07
  say,
• 23:08
  take,
• 23:08
  take
• 23:08
  me
• 23:08
  back
• 23:09
  to.
• 23:10
  And
• 23:10
  you
• 23:10
  could
• 23:10
  substitute
• 23:12
  whatever
• 23:13
  you
• 23:13
  anywhere
• 23:14
  that
• 23:14
  to
• 23:14
  me
• 23:15
  that
• 23:15
  as
• 23:16
  soon
• 23:16
  as
• 23:16
  I
• 23:16
  read
• 23:16
  your
• 23:16
  book,
• 23:17
  that
• 23:17
  stuck
• 23:17
  with
• 23:17
  me
• 23:18
  and
• 23:18
  I
• 23:18
  thought,
• 23:18
  ah,
• 23:19
  this.
• 23:19
  I
• 23:20
  took
• 23:20
  myself
• 23:20
  back
• 23:21
  like
• 23:21
  I
• 23:21
  described
• 23:22
  to
• 23:22
  you.
• 23:23
  Tell
• 23:23
  us
• 23:23
  how
• 23:23
  you
• 23:25
  developed
• 23:25
  that
• 23:26
  theme.
• 23:27
  Describe
• 23:29
  how
• 23:29
  it
• 23:30
  became
• 23:30
  an
• 23:30
  extension
• 23:31
  of
• 23:31
  your
• 23:31
  life.
• 23:32
  Yeah,
• 23:33
  it's
• 23:33
  pretty
• 23:33
  simple.
• 23:34
  As
• 23:34
  a
• 23:34
  kid,
• 23:34
  it
• 23:35
  was
• 23:35
  always,
• 23:35
  get
• 23:35
  me
• 23:35
  out
• 23:35
  of
• 23:36
  Oklahoma.
• 23:36
  Get
• 23:36
  me
• 23:37
  out
• 23:37
  of
• 23:37
  here.
• 23:37
  And
• 23:37
  that's
• 23:38
  first
• 23:38
  sentence
• 23:39
  in
• 23:39
  the
• 23:39
  book.
• 23:39
  And
• 23:40
  then
• 23:40
  as
• 23:40
  soon
• 23:40
  as
• 23:40
  I
• 23:41
  became
• 23:41
  adult,
• 23:41
  it
• 23:41
  was
• 23:41
  take
• 23:42
  me
• 23:42
  back.
• 23:43
  Which
• 23:44
  is
• 23:44
  funny
• 23:44
  because
• 23:44
  I
• 23:44
  currently
• 23:45
  don't
• 23:45
  live
• 23:45
  there.
• 23:46
  But
• 23:47
  I
• 23:47
  will
• 23:48
  always
• 23:48
  love
• 23:48
  Oklahoma
• 23:49
  and
• 23:49
  I
• 23:49
  do
• 23:49
  visit
• 23:49
  often.
• 23:50
  Oh,
• 23:50
  good
• 23:50
  for
• 23:51
  you.
• 23:51
  Good
• 23:51
  for
• 23:51
  you.
• 23:53
  You
• 23:53
  mentioned
• 23:54
  you're
• 23:54
  an
• 23:54
  educator.
• 23:56
  I
• 23:56
  am.
• 23:57
  And
• 23:58
  I
• 23:58
  know
• 23:58
  you
• 23:59
  said
• 23:59
  you
• 23:59
  made
• 23:59
  up
• 23:59
  a
• 24:00
  lesson
• 24:00
  plan
• 24:01
  for
• 24:01
  your
• 24:02
  book
• 24:02
  for
• 24:03
  other
• 24:03
  teachers
• 24:04
  that
• 24:04
  you've
• 24:04
  reached
• 24:04
  out
• 24:05
  to,
• 24:05
  but
• 24:06
  tell
• 24:06
  us
• 24:06
  about
• 24:06
  your
• 24:07
  how
• 24:07
  you
• 24:07
  have
• 24:08
  you
• 24:08
  incorporated
• 24:09
  your
• 24:10
  story.
• 24:10
  I
• 24:10
  know.
• 24:11
  I
• 24:11
  think
• 24:11
  you.
• 24:12
  Your
• 24:12
  students
• 24:13
  are
• 24:13
  older,
• 24:14
  correct?
• 24:15
  Yeah,
• 24:15
  I
• 24:15
  teach.
• 24:16
  I
• 24:16
  have
• 24:16
  taught
• 24:17
  elementary,
• 24:17
  but
• 24:17
  Now
• 24:17
  I
• 24:17
  teach
• 24:18
  8th
• 24:18
  grade
• 24:18
  and
• 24:18
  high
• 24:19
  school.
• 24:19
  Okay.
• 24:20
  Have
• 24:20
  you
• 24:21
  tried
• 24:21
  to
• 24:21
  sneak
• 24:22
  using
• 24:22
  your
• 24:23
  own
• 24:23
  book
• 24:25
  into
• 24:26
  your
• 24:27
  current
• 24:27
  teaching?
• 24:28
  I
• 24:29
  have
• 24:29
  actually.
• 24:30
  The
• 24:30
  first
• 24:30
  novel
• 24:31
  I
• 24:31
  teach
• 24:31
  every
• 24:32
  year
• 24:32
  in
• 24:32
  my
• 24:32
  eighth
• 24:32
  grade
• 24:32
  English
• 24:33
  class
• 24:33
  is
• 24:33
  the
• 24:33
  Outsider,
• 24:34
  which
• 24:34
  is
• 24:34
  by
• 24:35
  S.E.
• 24:35
  hinton,
• 24:36
  which
• 24:36
  is
• 24:36
  my
• 24:36
  favorite
• 24:36
  book
• 24:37
  of
• 24:37
  all
• 24:37
  time.
• 24:37
  And
• 24:38
  it
• 24:38
  is
• 24:38
  set
• 24:38
  in
• 24:38
  Tulsa,
• 24:39
  Oklahoma.
• 24:40
  And
• 24:40
  so
• 24:41
  on
• 24:41
  the
• 24:41
  day
• 24:41
  that
• 24:41
  for
• 24:42
  the
• 24:42
  first
• 24:42
  time
• 24:42
  this
• 24:42
  year,
• 24:43
  on
• 24:43
  the
• 24:43
  day
• 24:43
  that
• 24:44
  we
• 24:44
  do
• 24:45
  a
• 24:45
  deep
• 24:45
  dive
• 24:46
  into
• 24:46
  Oklahoma
• 24:47
  in
• 24:47
  the
• 24:47
  1950s,
• 24:48
  I
• 24:49
  did
• 24:49
  show
• 24:50
  a
• 24:50
  few
• 24:50
  excerpts
• 24:51
  from
• 24:51
  my
• 24:51
  book,
• 24:52
  and
• 24:52
  then
• 24:52
  at
• 24:52
  the
• 24:52
  end
• 24:53
  told
• 24:53
  them
• 24:53
  that
• 24:53
  it
• 24:53
  was
• 24:53
  my
• 24:54
  book.
• 24:55
  And
• 24:55
  it
• 24:55
  was
• 24:56
  pretty
• 24:56
  sweet
• 24:56
  to
• 24:56
  see
• 24:56
  their
• 24:56
  reaction.
• 24:57
  That's
• 24:58
  fantastic.
• 24:58
  Do
• 24:59
  you
• 24:59
  see
• 24:59
  yourself
• 25:00
  continuing
• 25:00
  that
• 25:01
  practice
• 25:02
  as
• 25:02
  you
• 25:02
  get
• 25:02
  new
• 25:02
  students
• 25:03
  every
• 25:03
  year?
• 25:04
  I
• 25:04
  think
• 25:04
  I'll
• 25:05
  probably
• 25:05
  do
• 25:05
  this
• 25:05
  every
• 25:05
  year.
• 25:06
  Good
• 25:06
  for
• 25:07
  you.
• 25:07
  That's
• 25:07
  that.
• 25:07
  What.
• 25:08
  You
• 25:08
  have
• 25:08
  a
• 25:08
  blast
• 25:09
  teaching
• 25:09
  this.
• 25:09
  So
• 25:10
  that
• 25:10
  made
• 25:10
  it
• 25:10
  even
• 25:10
  more
• 25:11
  fun.
• 25:12
  That
• 25:12
  is
• 25:13
  so
• 25:13
  neat.
• 25:13
  Because
• 25:13
  a
• 25:14
  lot
• 25:14
  of
• 25:14
  my
• 25:14
  guests
• 25:14
  are
• 25:15
  either
• 25:15
  currently
• 25:15
  teaching
• 25:17
  or
• 25:17
  are
• 25:18
  retired
• 25:19
  teachers.
• 25:19
  And
• 25:20
  so
• 25:20
  it's
• 25:20
  nice
• 25:21
  of
• 25:21
  you
• 25:21
  to
• 25:21
  share
• 25:22
  the
• 25:22
  technique
• 25:23
  that
• 25:23
  you
• 25:24
  use
• 25:25
  incorporating
• 25:26
  into
• 25:26
  your
• 25:26
  classroom.
• 25:27
  So
• 25:27
  even
• 25:27
  though
• 25:28
  your
• 25:28
  students
• 25:28
  are
• 25:29
  older,
• 25:30
  you're
• 25:30
  able
• 25:30
  to
• 25:30
  adjust
• 25:31
  it
• 25:31
  and
• 25:32
  give
• 25:32
  it
• 25:33
  almost
• 25:33
  as
• 25:33
  a
• 25:33
  gift
• 25:34
  in
• 25:35
  their
• 25:35
  learning.
• 25:36
  Yeah.
• 25:38
  Now,
• 25:38
  tell
• 25:38
  us
• 25:38
  about
• 25:39
  your
• 25:39
  writing
• 25:40
  process.
• 25:40
  So
• 25:41
  you've
• 25:41
  written
• 25:41
  two
• 25:42
  books,
• 25:43
  and
• 25:44
  first
• 25:44
  of
• 25:44
  all,
• 25:44
  share.
• 25:45
  Share
• 25:45
  how.
• 25:46
  And
• 25:47
  maybe
• 25:47
  it
• 25:47
  piggybacked.
• 25:48
  I'm
• 25:48
  not
• 25:48
  quite
• 25:49
  sure,
• 25:49
  but
• 25:50
  share
• 25:50
  how
• 25:51
  you
• 25:51
  wrote
• 25:52
  the
• 25:52
  book.
• 25:52
  To
• 25:52
  your
• 25:53
  dad,
• 25:54
  you
• 25:54
  said,
• 25:54
  it's
• 25:54
  a
• 25:54
  children's
• 25:55
  book,
• 25:55
  and
• 25:55
  then
• 25:56
  you,
• 25:57
  of
• 25:57
  course,
• 25:57
  wrote
• 25:58
  your
• 25:58
  current
• 25:58
  book.
• 26:00
  Tell
• 26:00
  us
• 26:00
  about
• 26:00
  that
• 26:01
  whole
• 26:01
  process.
• 26:02
  So
• 26:02
  the
• 26:03
  ideas
• 26:03
  just
• 26:03
  both
• 26:04
  came
• 26:04
  to
• 26:04
  me
• 26:04
  and
• 26:05
  I.
• 26:06
  One
• 26:06
  of
• 26:06
  my
• 26:06
  biggest
• 26:07
  things
• 26:07
  in
• 26:07
  my
• 26:07
  life
• 26:08
  is,
• 26:08
  and
• 26:08
  I
• 26:08
  tell
• 26:09
  this
• 26:09
  to
• 26:09
  my
• 26:09
  students,
• 26:10
  and
• 26:10
  I
• 26:10
  don't
• 26:10
  like
• 26:10
  to
• 26:11
  count
• 26:11
  my
• 26:11
  chickens
• 26:11
  before
• 26:12
  they
• 26:12
  hatch,
• 26:13
  so
• 26:13
  I
• 26:13
  keep
• 26:13
  things
• 26:14
  very
• 26:14
  close
• 26:14
  to
• 26:14
  myself
• 26:15
  until
• 26:16
  they
• 26:16
  come
• 26:16
  to
• 26:16
  fruition,
• 26:17
  though,
• 26:18
  other
• 26:18
  than
• 26:18
  my
• 26:18
  parents,
• 26:19
  no
• 26:19
  one
• 26:19
  knew
• 26:19
  I
• 26:19
  was
• 26:19
  writing
• 26:20
  these.
• 26:20
  And
• 26:20
  all
• 26:20
  of
• 26:20
  a
• 26:20
  sudden,
• 26:21
  hi,
• 26:21
  these
• 26:21
  books
• 26:22
  are
• 26:22
  coming
• 26:22
  out.
• 26:23
  Here
• 26:23
  they
• 26:23
  are.
• 26:25
  They're
• 26:25
  going
• 26:25
  to
• 26:26
  come
• 26:26
  out.
• 26:26
  Here
• 26:26
  they
• 26:26
  are.
• 26:26
  And
• 26:27
  so
• 26:27
  it.
• 26:28
  I
• 26:28
  thought
• 26:28
  it
• 26:28
  would
• 26:28
  surprise
• 26:29
  people,
• 26:29
  but
• 26:29
  people
• 26:29
  around
• 26:30
  me
• 26:30
  told
• 26:30
  me
• 26:30
  they
• 26:31
  absolutely
• 26:32
  saw
• 26:32
  this
• 26:32
  coming
• 26:32
  because
• 26:33
  I'm
• 26:33
  an
• 26:33
  English
• 26:33
  teacher,
• 26:34
  I
• 26:35
  love
• 26:35
  work
• 26:35
  with
• 26:35
  children,
• 26:36
  and
• 26:37
  they
• 26:37
  were
• 26:37
  surprised
• 26:37
  I
• 26:38
  hadn't
• 26:38
  written
• 26:38
  one
• 26:38
  sooner.
• 26:39
  And
• 26:39
  so
• 26:40
  it
• 26:40
  was.
• 26:40
  It
• 26:40
  all
• 26:41
  happened.
• 26:43
  As
• 26:43
  far
• 26:43
  as
• 26:44
  research,
• 26:45
  because
• 26:45
  of
• 26:45
  your
• 26:46
  exposure
• 26:46
  to
• 26:46
  your
• 26:47
  dad,
• 26:47
  you
• 26:47
  probably
• 26:48
  didn't
• 26:48
  have
• 26:48
  to
• 26:49
  do
• 26:49
  much
• 26:49
  research,
• 26:50
  or
• 26:50
  did
• 26:50
  you?
• 26:51
  I
• 26:52
  had
• 26:52
  to
• 26:52
  do
• 26:52
  a
• 26:52
  lot
• 26:52
  because
• 26:53
  my
• 26:53
  father
• 26:53
  50
• 26:54
  years
• 26:54
  older
• 26:54
  than
• 26:54
  me,
• 26:55
  so
• 26:55
  I
• 26:55
  wasn't
• 26:56
  there
• 26:56
  for
• 26:56
  the
• 26:56
  first
• 26:56
  50
• 26:56
  years.
• 26:57
  So
• 26:57
  I
• 26:57
  had
• 26:58
  to
• 26:58
  do
• 26:58
  a
• 26:58
  good
• 26:58
  bit,
• 26:58
  actually.
• 26:59
  Okay.
• 27:00
  And
• 27:00
  did
• 27:00
  you
• 27:00
  use
• 27:01
  him
• 27:01
  as
• 27:02
  one
• 27:02
  of
• 27:02
  your
• 27:03
  research?
• 27:05
  No,
• 27:05
  I
• 27:06
  actually
• 27:06
  surprised
• 27:07
  it
• 27:07
  with
• 27:07
  him
• 27:07
  on
• 27:08
  a
• 27:08
  family
• 27:08
  vacation.
• 27:09
  I
• 27:10
  surprised
• 27:11
  him
• 27:11
  with
• 27:11
  the
• 27:11
  finished,
• 27:12
  completed
• 27:12
  illustrated
• 27:13
  book,
• 27:13
  and
• 27:14
  it
• 27:14
  is
• 27:14
  a
• 27:14
  nonfiction
• 27:15
  book,
• 27:15
  so
• 27:15
  I
• 27:15
  guess
• 27:15
  illustrated,
• 27:16
  not
• 27:16
  the
• 27:16
  right
• 27:16
  word,
• 27:16
  but
• 27:17
  designed
• 27:17
  and
• 27:17
  with
• 27:18
  pictures
• 27:18
  and.
• 27:19
  No,
• 27:19
  he
• 27:19
  had
• 27:19
  no
• 27:19
  idea.
• 27:20
  I'm
• 27:21
  shocked
• 27:21
  that
• 27:22
  no
• 27:22
  one
• 27:22
  told
• 27:23
  him
• 27:24
  so.
• 27:24
  He
• 27:24
  was
• 27:24
  never
• 27:25
  expecting
• 27:25
  you
• 27:25
  to
• 27:26
  embrace
• 27:26
  authorship
• 27:27
  like
• 27:27
  you
• 27:28
  did?
• 27:30
  I'm
• 27:30
  sure
• 27:30
  he
• 27:30
  expected
• 27:31
  me
• 27:31
  to,
• 27:31
  but
• 27:31
  not
• 27:32
  about
• 27:32
  Him.
• 27:33
  Okay.
• 27:34
  Interesting.
• 27:36
  And.
• 27:38
  Success.
• 27:39
  I'm
• 27:39
  always
• 27:40
  interested
• 27:40
  in
• 27:41
  how
• 27:42
  you
• 27:42
  would
• 27:42
  measure
• 27:42
  success.
• 27:43
  So
• 27:43
  I
• 27:43
  know
• 27:44
  with
• 27:44
  your
• 27:44
  dad,
• 27:46
  just
• 27:46
  that
• 27:46
  alone
• 27:47
  probably
• 27:48
  was
• 27:48
  very
• 27:48
  gratifying.
• 27:50
  What
• 27:50
  about
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  rest
• 27:50
  of
• 27:51
  the
• 27:51
  members
• 27:51
  of
• 27:51
  your
• 27:51
  family,
• 27:52
  like
• 27:52
  your
• 27:52
  siblings,
• 27:53
  your
• 27:54
  mom,
• 27:55
  what
• 27:55
  was
• 27:55
  their
• 27:55
  reaction?
• 27:58
  Everyone
• 27:58
  cried.
• 27:59
  It's
• 27:59
  a
• 28:00
  very
• 28:00
  sweet
• 28:00
  book
• 28:00
  and
• 28:01
  my
• 28:01
  dad's
• 28:02
  everyone's
• 28:02
  favorite
• 28:03
  man.
• 28:03
  And
• 28:04
  so
• 28:04
  it
• 28:04
  was
• 28:04
  pretty
• 28:04
  great
• 28:05
  reactions.
• 28:05
  And
• 28:05
  then
• 28:06
  he
• 28:07
  does
• 28:07
  a
• 28:07
  lot
• 28:08
  of
• 28:08
  his
• 28:08
  book
• 28:08
  signings
• 28:08
  at
• 28:09
  the
• 28:09
  Oklahoma
• 28:09
  hall
• 28:09
  of
• 28:09
  Fame
• 28:10
  and
• 28:10
  we
• 28:11
  did
• 28:11
  a
• 28:11
  co
• 28:11
  book
• 28:11
  signing,
• 28:12
  so
• 28:12
  we
• 28:13
  both
• 28:13
  signed
• 28:13
  it.
• 28:13
  And
• 28:14
  that
• 28:14
  was
• 28:14
  one
• 28:14
  of
• 28:14
  a
• 28:14
  very
• 28:15
  special
• 28:15
  night
• 28:16
  as
• 28:16
  a
• 28:16
  lot
• 28:16
  of
• 28:17
  people
• 28:17
  from
• 28:17
  both
• 28:17
  of
• 28:18
  our
• 28:18
  lives
• 28:18
  came
• 28:18
  and
• 28:19
  we
• 28:19
  wore
• 28:19
  suits
• 28:19
  and
• 28:20
  it
• 28:20
  was.
• 28:21
  It
• 28:21
  was
• 28:21
  really
• 28:21
  sweet.
• 28:21
  So
• 28:22
  the
• 28:22
  whole
• 28:22
  process
• 28:22
  was
• 28:22
  good.
• 28:23
  But
• 28:23
  now
• 28:23
  I
• 28:23
  joke
• 28:24
  that
• 28:24
  none
• 28:24
  of
• 28:24
  my
• 28:24
  siblings
• 28:25
  will
• 28:25
  ever
• 28:25
  be
• 28:25
  able
• 28:25
  to
• 28:26
  give
• 28:26
  a
• 28:26
  better
• 28:26
  gift
• 28:27
  than
• 28:27
  I
• 28:27
  am,
• 28:27
  so
• 28:28
  that
• 28:28
  I'm
• 28:28
  the
• 28:28
  favorite
• 28:29
  from
• 28:29
  forever.
• 28:30
  Amazing.
• 28:31
  Just
• 28:31
  amazing.
• 28:32
  And
• 28:33
  talk
• 28:33
  to
• 28:33
  us
• 28:33
  now
• 28:34
  about
• 28:35
  your
• 28:35
  current
• 28:35
  book
• 28:36
  and
• 28:36
  how
• 28:36
  you're
• 28:37
  trying
• 28:37
  to
• 28:37
  measure
• 28:37
  success
• 28:38
  with
• 28:38
  this
• 28:38
  book.
• 28:40
  I
• 28:42
  don't
• 28:43
  measure
• 28:43
  success
• 28:43
  for
• 28:44
  authoring,
• 28:45
  at
• 28:45
  least
• 28:45
  right
• 28:45
  now
• 28:45
  in
• 28:46
  like
• 28:46
  monetary
• 28:46
  terms.
• 28:47
  I
• 28:48
  think
• 28:48
  success
• 28:48
  for
• 28:49
  me
• 28:49
  would
• 28:49
  be
• 28:52
  a
• 28:52
  child
• 28:53
  in
• 28:54
  Oklahoma,
• 28:55
  like
• 28:56
  appreciates
• 28:56
  Oklahoma
• 28:57
  a
• 28:57
  little
• 28:57
  more
• 28:57
  after
• 28:58
  reading
• 28:58
  it.
• 28:58
  I
• 28:58
  think
• 28:59
  if
• 28:59
  that
• 28:59
  happens
• 28:59
  once,
• 28:59
  then
• 29:00
  I
• 29:00
  would
• 29:00
  consider
• 29:00
  the
• 29:01
  book
• 29:01
  a
• 29:01
  success.
• 29:02
  Okay.
• 29:02
  And
• 29:02
  you
• 29:03
  said
• 29:03
  you
• 29:03
  go
• 29:03
  back
• 29:04
  often
• 29:04
  to
• 29:04
  Oklahoma,
• 29:05
  so
• 29:06
  do
• 29:06
  you
• 29:06
  tie
• 29:07
  any
• 29:07
  book
• 29:08
  readings
• 29:09
  or
• 29:09
  go
• 29:10
  to.
• 29:10
  Yes.
• 29:11
  Okay,
• 29:11
  tell
• 29:12
  us
• 29:12
  about.
• 29:12
  Yeah,
• 29:12
  Yorkshire
• 29:13
  Publishing
• 29:13
  is
• 29:14
  wonderful
• 29:14
  because
• 29:14
  they
• 29:15
  have
• 29:15
  set
• 29:16
  everything
• 29:16
  up
• 29:16
  for
• 29:16
  me
• 29:17
  and
• 29:17
  they
• 29:17
  tell
• 29:18
  me
• 29:18
  when
• 29:18
  they
• 29:18
  ask
• 29:19
  me
• 29:19
  my
• 29:19
  dates
• 29:19
  of
• 29:20
  in
• 29:20
  Oklahoma
• 29:20
  and
• 29:20
  then
• 29:21
  they
• 29:21
  tell
• 29:21
  me
• 29:21
  when
• 29:21
  and
• 29:21
  where
• 29:22
  and
• 29:22
  I
• 29:22
  will
• 29:22
  show
• 29:22
  up
• 29:22
  and
• 29:23
  happily
• 29:24
  do
• 29:24
  a
• 29:24
  reading
• 29:25
  or
• 29:25
  a.
• 29:25
  An
• 29:26
  author
• 29:26
  event.
• 29:26
  And
• 29:27
  I
• 29:27
  have
• 29:27
  enjoyed
• 29:27
  those.
• 29:28
  It
• 29:28
  feel
• 29:28
  it's
• 29:29
  not
• 29:29
  in
• 29:29
  my
• 29:29
  nature
• 29:29
  to
• 29:30
  ask
• 29:30
  people
• 29:30
  to
• 29:31
  buy
• 29:31
  something
• 29:31
  that
• 29:32
  is
• 29:32
  a
• 29:32
  product
• 29:32
  of
• 29:32
  mine,
• 29:33
  but
• 29:33
  I'm
• 29:34
  working
• 29:34
  on
• 29:34
  it.
• 29:34
  Good
• 29:35
  for
• 29:35
  you.
• 29:36
  And
• 29:36
  so
• 29:36
  when
• 29:37
  they
• 29:37
  line
• 29:37
  up
• 29:38
  the
• 29:38
  events,
• 29:38
  are
• 29:39
  they
• 29:39
  primarily
• 29:41
  at
• 29:41
  libraries
• 29:42
  or
• 29:42
  bookstores
• 29:43
  or
• 29:43
  schools?
• 29:44
  What's
• 29:44
  it
• 29:44
  look
• 29:45
  like
• 29:45
  when
• 29:45
  you
• 29:45
  go
• 29:45
  back?
• 29:47
  I
• 29:47
  would
• 29:47
  love
• 29:47
  to
• 29:48
  do
• 29:48
  school.
• 29:48
  Unfortunately,
• 29:49
  as
• 29:50
  a
• 29:50
  teacher,
• 29:50
  I
• 29:50
  have
• 29:51
  not
• 29:51
  been
• 29:51
  back
• 29:51
  to
• 29:52
  Oklahoma
• 29:52
  since
• 29:52
  the
• 29:52
  book
• 29:52
  came
• 29:53
  out
• 29:53
  at
• 29:53
  a
• 29:53
  time
• 29:54
  when
• 29:54
  school
• 29:54
  would
• 29:54
  be
• 29:54
  in
• 29:54
  session.
• 29:55
  Okay.
• 29:55
  Because
• 29:56
  I
• 29:56
  have
• 29:56
  my
• 29:56
  own
• 29:56
  school
• 29:57
  in
• 29:57
  session.
• 29:57
  But
• 29:57
  I
• 29:57
  would
• 29:57
  love
• 29:58
  to
• 29:58
  go
• 29:58
  into
• 29:58
  schools.
• 30:00
  So
• 30:00
  hopefully
• 30:00
  I
• 30:01
  will
• 30:01
  do
• 30:01
  that.
• 30:01
  Primarily
• 30:02
  store
• 30:02
  bookstores
• 30:03
  or
• 30:04
  libraries.
• 30:05
  It's
• 30:05
  been
• 30:05
  primary.
• 30:07
  It's
• 30:07
  been
• 30:07
  bookstores
• 30:08
  and
• 30:08
  library.
• 30:09
  Okay.
• 30:09
  And
• 30:10
  tell
• 30:10
  us
• 30:10
  about
• 30:10
  that
• 30:11
  experience.
• 30:12
  They've
• 30:13
  been
• 30:13
  good
• 30:13
  experiences
• 30:14
  and
• 30:15
  they've
• 30:15
  been
• 30:15
  beneficial
• 30:16
  to
• 30:16
  the
• 30:16
  business
• 30:17
  side
• 30:17
  of
• 30:17
  the
• 30:17
  book.
• 30:18
  It's
• 30:18
  easy
• 30:18
  for
• 30:18
  me
• 30:19
  to
• 30:19
  talk
• 30:19
  to
• 30:19
  people
• 30:19
  out
• 30:19
  my
• 30:20
  book,
• 30:20
  hard
• 30:20
  for
• 30:20
  me
• 30:20
  to
• 30:22
  try
• 30:22
  to
• 30:22
  get
• 30:22
  people
• 30:23
  over.
• 30:23
  But
• 30:24
  the
• 30:25
  for
• 30:25
  the
• 30:25
  author
• 30:25
  event,
• 30:26
  but
• 30:26
  for
• 30:26
  the
• 30:26
  reading.
• 30:27
  I
• 30:27
  read
• 30:27
  out
• 30:27
  loud
• 30:28
  at
• 30:28
  work
• 30:28
  every
• 30:29
  day.
• 30:29
  And
• 30:29
  so
• 30:29
  it's
• 30:30
  special.
• 30:30
  It.
• 30:31
  I
• 30:32
  really
• 30:32
  enjoy
• 30:32
  reading
• 30:33
  to
• 30:33
  children.
• 30:34
  Fantastic.
• 30:36
  Now,
• 30:37
  the
• 30:38
  role
• 30:38
  of
• 30:38
  writing.
• 30:39
  So
• 30:39
  as
• 30:40
  an
• 30:40
  educator,
• 30:40
  as
• 30:41
  an
• 30:42
  English
• 30:42
  teacher,
• 30:44
  tell
• 30:45
  us
• 30:45
  the
• 30:45
  role
• 30:46
  of
• 30:46
  writing,
• 30:47
  especially
• 30:47
  from
• 30:48
  a
• 30:48
  children's
• 30:48
  book
• 30:49
  author's
• 30:49
  point
• 30:50
  of
• 30:50
  view.
• 30:50
  Are
• 30:50
  you
• 30:51
  continuing
• 30:51
  to
• 30:51
  write
• 30:52
  more
• 30:52
  children's
• 30:53
  book
• 30:53
  stories?
• 30:55
  And
• 30:56
  I.
• 30:58
  More
• 30:58
  than
• 30:58
  I
• 30:59
  want
• 30:59
  to
• 30:59
  write
• 30:59
  more
• 30:59
  children's
• 31:00
  books.
• 31:00
  What
• 31:01
  I
• 31:01
  want
• 31:01
  most
• 31:01
  is
• 31:02
  I
• 31:02
  would
• 31:02
  love
• 31:02
  to
• 31:02
  be
• 31:02
  a
• 31:03
  playwright
• 31:04
  and
• 31:04
  not
• 31:05
  necessarily
• 31:05
  a
• 31:05
  children's
• 31:06
  playwright,
• 31:06
  but
• 31:07
  all
• 31:07
  of
• 31:07
  it
• 31:07
  comes
• 31:08
  together
• 31:08
  in
• 31:08
  all
• 31:08
  the
• 31:08
  aspects
• 31:09
  of
• 31:09
  me
• 31:10
  to
• 31:10
  make
• 31:11
  that
• 31:11
  better.
• 31:11
  So
• 31:11
  I
• 31:12
  think
• 31:12
  eventually
• 31:13
  I'll
• 31:14
  go
• 31:14
  write
• 31:14
  plays.
• 31:14
  But
• 31:15
  right
• 31:15
  now,
• 31:15
  children's
• 31:15
  book
• 31:16
  feels
• 31:17
  home
• 31:18
  for
• 31:18
  me
• 31:18
  with
• 31:19
  my
• 31:19
  career
• 31:19
  and
• 31:20
  my
• 31:20
  age
• 31:20
  and
• 31:20
  my
• 31:20
  experience.
• 31:22
  How
• 31:23
  much
• 31:23
  time?
• 31:24
  Teachers
• 31:24
  have
• 31:24
  a
• 31:24
  very
• 31:25
  busy.
• 31:25
  Because
• 31:26
  people
• 31:26
  think
• 31:26
  teachers
• 31:27
  just
• 31:28
  whatever
• 31:28
  hours
• 31:28
  they
• 31:29
  spend
• 31:29
  in
• 31:29
  school.
• 31:30
  But
• 31:30
  teachers
• 31:31
  put
• 31:31
  in
• 31:31
  a
• 31:31
  lot
• 31:31
  more
• 31:32
  hours
• 31:32
  than
• 31:32
  that.
• 31:33
  So
• 31:34
  where
• 31:34
  are
• 31:34
  you
• 31:35
  finding
• 31:35
  time
• 31:35
  to
• 31:36
  write?
• 31:36
  What's
• 31:36
  your
• 31:37
  writing
• 31:37
  process
• 31:37
  look
• 31:38
  like?
• 31:40
  I
• 31:40
  have
• 31:40
  a
• 31:40
  very
• 31:41
  strict
• 31:41
  rule
• 31:41
  of
• 31:41
  not
• 31:42
  taking
• 31:42
  work
• 31:42
  home
• 31:42
  with
• 31:43
  me,
• 31:43
  so
• 31:44
  I
• 31:44
  do
• 31:44
  not
• 31:44
  bring
• 31:44
  any
• 31:45
  teaching
• 31:45
  home
• 31:45
  with
• 31:45
  me.
• 31:46
  Although
• 31:47
  I
• 31:47
  say
• 31:47
  that
• 31:48
  I
• 31:48
  do
• 31:48
  enjoy
• 31:49
  grading
• 31:50
  paper.
• 31:51
  So
• 31:51
  I
• 31:51
  don't
• 31:51
  plan
• 31:52
  from
• 31:52
  home.
• 31:52
  I
• 31:53
  will.
• 31:53
  I
• 31:53
  do
• 31:53
  occasionally
• 31:54
  grade
• 31:54
  paper
• 31:54
  from
• 31:54
  home
• 31:54
  because
• 31:55
  I
• 31:55
  enjoy
• 31:55
  that
• 31:56
  and
• 31:56
  it's
• 31:56
  gratifying.
• 31:57
  But
• 31:58
  I
• 31:58
  find
• 31:58
  on
• 31:58
  the
• 31:59
  weekends
• 31:59
  I
• 31:59
  have,
• 32:00
  when
• 32:00
  I'm
• 32:00
  not
• 32:00
  spending
• 32:01
  time
• 32:01
  with
• 32:01
  friends
• 32:01
  or
• 32:02
  family,
• 32:02
  I
• 32:02
  will
• 32:03
  lock
• 32:03
  in
• 32:03
  for
• 32:04
  a
• 32:04
  few
• 32:04
  hours
• 32:04
  and
• 32:05
  write
• 32:06
  or
• 32:06
  edit.
• 32:07
  Good
• 32:07
  for
• 32:07
  you.
• 32:08
  And
• 32:08
  I'm
• 32:09
  always
• 32:09
  curious
• 32:11
  is
• 32:11
  we
• 32:12
  get
• 32:12
  a
• 32:12
  lot
• 32:12
  of
• 32:12
  aspiring
• 32:13
  children's
• 32:14
  book
• 32:14
  authors
• 32:14
  listening
• 32:15
  to
• 32:15
  the
• 32:15
  show.
• 32:15
  What
• 32:16
  advice
• 32:16
  would
• 32:16
  you
• 32:17
  give
• 32:18
  an
• 32:18
  aspiring

  book
• 32:20
  author
• 32:20
  to
• 32:21
  get

  started?
• 32:22
  To
• 32:23
  just
• 32:23
  sit
• 32:23
  down
• 32:24
  and
• 32:24
  do
• 32:24
  it.
• 32:25
  I
• 32:25
  think
• 32:26
  people
• 32:26
  get
• 32:26
  so
• 32:27
  bogged
• 32:27
  down

  be
• 32:29
  like?
• 32:30
  The
• 32:30
  whole
• 32:30
  thing
• 32:30
  and
• 32:30
  let
• 32:31
  it
• 32:31
  be
• 32:31
  bad.
• 32:32
  Then
• 32:32
  go
• 32:32
  back
• 32:32
  and
• 32:32
  worry
• 32:33
  about
• 32:33
  that
• 32:33
  first
• 32:33
  line.
• 32:35
  Excellent
• 32:36
  advice.
• 32:38
  Student.
• 32:38
  Student.
• 32:39
  Can't
• 32:39
  students
• 32:40
  struggle
• 32:40
  to
• 32:40
  get
• 32:40
  started
• 32:41
  more
• 32:41
  than
• 32:41
  they
• 32:42
  do
• 32:42
  to
• 32:42
  do
• 32:42
  the
• 32:42
  whole
• 32:42
  thing?
• 32:43
  So
• 32:43
  you
• 32:43
  just
• 32:43
  have
• 32:43
  to.
• 32:44
  You
• 32:44
  just
• 32:44
  have
• 32:44
  to
• 32:44
  sit
• 32:44
  down
• 32:44
  and
• 32:45
  do
• 32:45

• 32:45
  Thank
• 32:45
  you.
• 32:47
  Encouragement
• 32:47
  for
• 32:48
  readers.
• 32:48
  So
• 32:52
  what
• 32:52
  would
• 32:53
  you
• 32:53
  say
• 32:53
  to
• 32:54
  children's
• 32:55
  book
• 32:55
  readers?
• 32:55
  Why
• 32:56
  should
• 32:56
  they
• 32:57
  purchase
• 32:57
  your
• 32:58
  book?
• 32:59
  Yeah.
• 33:00
  If
• 33:00
  they
• 33:00
  have
• 33:00
  a
• 33:01
  child
• 33:01
  in
• 33:01
  their
• 33:01
  life
• 33:02
  who
• 33:03
  lives
• 33:04
  anywhere,
• 33:04
  we
• 33:04
  all
• 33:04
  have
• 33:05
  a
• 33:05
  home,
• 33:05
  they
• 33:06
  should
• 33:06
  purchase
• 33:07
  this
• 33:07
  book
• 33:07
  to
• 33:08
  teach
• 33:08
  them
• 33:09
  the
• 33:09
  value
• 33:09
  of
• 33:09
  where
• 33:09
  they
• 33:10
  come
• 33:10
  from
• 33:10
  or
• 33:11
  an
• 33:11
  adult.
• 33:11
  I
• 33:11
  think
• 33:12
  anyone
• 33:12
  can
• 33:12
  read
• 33:12
  children's
• 33:13
  books.
• 33:13
  And
• 33:14
  an
• 33:14
  adult
• 33:14
  who
• 33:14
  wants
• 33:15
  to
• 33:16
  find
• 33:16
  ways
• 33:17
  to
• 33:17
  love
• 33:18
  where
• 33:18
  they
• 33:18
  come
• 33:18
  from,
• 33:19
  I
• 33:19
  think
• 33:19
  this
• 33:20
  is
• 33:20
  a
• 33:20
  great
• 33:20
  book
• 33:20
  for
• 33:20
  them.
• 33:21
  Terrific.
• 33:22
  When
• 33:22
  I
• 33:22
  sign
• 33:23
  books,
• 33:23
  I
• 33:23
  write
• 33:24
  a
• 33:24
  message,
• 33:24
  and
• 33:24
  then
• 33:24
  I
• 33:24
  always
• 33:25
  end
• 33:25
  it
• 33:25
  with
• 33:26
  Learn
• 33:26
  to
• 33:26
  love
• 33:26
  where
• 33:26
  you're
• 33:27
  from.
• 33:28
  Cody
• 33:28
  Burke.
• 33:29
  Nice.
• 33:31
  When
• 33:31
  you're.
• 33:32
  I'm
• 33:32
  just
• 33:32
  trying
• 33:33
  to
• 33:33
  think
• 33:33
  back
• 33:33
  a
• 33:33
  little
• 33:34
  because
• 33:34
  you
• 33:34
  triggered
• 33:34
  something.
• 33:35
  When
• 33:35
  you
• 33:35
  do
• 33:36
  the
• 33:36
  book
• 33:38
  signings,
• 33:38
  do
• 33:39
  you
• 33:39
  actually
• 33:40
  read
• 33:40
  your
• 33:40
  book
• 33:42
  in
• 33:42
  the
• 33:42
  store?
• 33:43
  When
• 33:43
  Yorkshire
• 33:44
  Publishing
• 33:45
  lines
• 33:46
  up
• 33:46
  a
• 33:46
  visit
• 33:46
  to
• 33:46
  a
• 33:47
  bookstore?
• 33:47
  I
• 33:47
  actually
• 33:48
  read
• 33:48
  the
• 33:48
  book
• 33:48
  first.
• 33:50
  I
• 33:50
  have,
• 33:50
  and
• 33:51
  I
• 33:51
  enjoy
• 33:51
  doing
• 33:51
  that.
• 33:52
  Okay.
• 33:53
  And
• 33:53
  do
• 33:53
  you
• 33:54
  as
• 33:55
  a
• 33:55
  teacher.
• 33:56
  So
• 33:56
  do
• 33:56
  you
• 33:56
  review
• 33:57
  your
• 33:57
  book
• 33:58
  with
• 33:58
  the
• 33:59
  people
• 33:59
  who
• 34:00
  listen
• 34:00
  to
• 34:01
  you
• 34:01
  read
• 34:01
  the
• 34:01
  book?
• 34:02
  How
• 34:03
  do
• 34:03
  you
• 34:03
  engage?
• 34:03
  I
• 34:04
  would
• 34:04
  say
• 34:04
  this
• 34:04
  is
• 34:04
  a
• 34:04
  strong
• 34:04
  suit
• 34:05
  of
• 34:05
  mine.
• 34:05
  I'll
• 34:06
  stop.
• 34:06
  I
• 34:06
  do
• 34:06
  voices,
• 34:07
  I
• 34:07
  ask
• 34:07
  questions.
• 34:09
  I
• 34:09
  let
• 34:09
  kids
• 34:10
  read
• 34:10
  an
• 34:10
  extra
• 34:11
  word
• 34:11
  or
• 34:11
  I
• 34:11
  ask
• 34:11
  what
• 34:12
  this
• 34:12
  is.
• 34:13
  That's
• 34:13
  what
• 34:13
  my,
• 34:14
  like,
• 34:14
  training
• 34:14
  is
• 34:14
  in.
• 34:14
  So
• 34:15
  it
• 34:15
  feels
• 34:15
  very
• 34:15
  natural
• 34:16
  to
• 34:16
  me
• 34:16
  to
• 34:16
  where
• 34:16
  I
• 34:16
  know
• 34:17
  from
• 34:17
  others,
• 34:17
  it
• 34:18
  might
• 34:18
  not,
• 34:18
  but
• 34:18
  it
• 34:18
  feels
• 34:20
  very
• 34:20
  easy
• 34:20
  for
• 34:20
  me.
• 34:21
  Okay,
• 34:22
  so
• 34:22
  you've
• 34:22
  got
• 34:23
  audience
• 34:23
  engagement
• 34:24
  going
• 34:24
  on
• 34:25
  as
• 34:25
  you're
• 34:25
  reading
• 34:26
  the
• 34:26
  book.
• 34:27
  Yeah.
• 34:28
  Thank
• 34:29
  you
• 34:29
  for
• 34:29
  sharing
• 34:29
  that.
• 34:29
  Because
• 34:30
  it's
• 34:30
  a.
• 34:30
  I've
• 34:31
  never
• 34:31
  really
• 34:31
  talked
• 34:32
  until
• 34:32
  I've
• 34:33
  talked
• 34:33
  to
• 34:33
  you.
• 34:34
  I
• 34:34
  never
• 34:34
  really
• 34:34
  thought
• 34:35
  about.
• 34:35
  Okay.
• 34:36
  About
• 34:36
  engaging
• 34:37
  the
• 34:38
  audience
• 34:38
  while
• 34:39
  you're
• 34:39
  reading
• 34:40
  rather
• 34:40
  than
• 34:41
  just
• 34:41
  engaging
• 34:42
  them
• 34:42
  after
• 34:42
  you've
• 34:43
  read.
• 34:43
  It
• 34:44
  sounds,
• 34:44
  again,
• 34:45
  a
• 34:45
  very
• 34:45
  unique
• 34:46
  way
• 34:47
  of
• 34:47
  engaging
• 34:48
  the
• 34:48
  audience.
• 34:50
  Final
• 34:50
  thoughts?
• 34:51
  Is
• 34:52
  there
• 34:52
  something
• 34:52
  you
• 34:53
  thought,
• 34:53
  oh,
• 34:53
  I
• 34:54
  wish
• 34:54
  Rick
• 34:54
  would
• 34:54
  have
• 34:54
  asked
• 34:55
  me
• 34:55
  that
• 34:55
  question.
• 34:56
  Is
• 34:56
  there
• 34:56
  something
• 34:57
  that
• 34:57
  you
• 34:58
  can
• 34:58
  think
• 34:58
  of
• 34:58
  that
• 35:00
  you
• 35:00
  know
• 35:00
  the
• 35:00
  audience
• 35:01
  would
• 35:01
  get
• 35:01
  value
• 35:02
  out
• 35:02
  of?
• 35:02
  One
• 35:03
  thing
• 35:03
  I
• 35:03
  can
• 35:03
  think
• 35:03
  of
• 35:04
  is
• 35:05
  working
• 35:05
  with
• 35:05
  an
• 35:05
  illustrator.
• 35:07
  I
• 35:07
  think
• 35:07
  just
• 35:07
  as
• 35:07
  much
• 35:08
  as
• 35:08
  an
• 35:08
  author
• 35:09
  wants
• 35:09
  to
• 35:09
  see
• 35:10
  their
• 35:11
  vision
• 35:12
  come
• 35:12
  to
• 35:12
  real
• 35:13
  life,
• 35:13
  I
• 35:13
  think
• 35:13
  an
• 35:14
  illustrator
• 35:14
  also
• 35:15
  wants
• 35:15
  the
• 35:16
  author's
• 35:16
  vision
• 35:16
  to
• 35:16
  come
• 35:16
  in
• 35:17
  real
• 35:17
  life.
• 35:17
  Because
• 35:17
  I
• 35:17
  have
• 35:18
  author
• 35:18
  friends
• 35:18
  who
• 35:19
  have
• 35:19
  struggled
• 35:20
  to
• 35:20
  give
• 35:20
  feedback
• 35:21
  to
• 35:21
  an
• 35:21
  illustrator
• 35:22
  or
• 35:22
  not
• 35:23
  love
• 35:23
  the
• 35:24
  end
• 35:24
  product,
• 35:24
  but
• 35:25
  an
• 35:25
  illustrator
• 35:25
  wants
• 35:26
  it
• 35:26
  to
• 35:26
  be
• 35:26
  what
• 35:27
  you
• 35:27
  want
• 35:27
  it
• 35:27
  to
• 35:27
  be.
• 35:28
  Camila
• 35:28
  was
• 35:28
  so
• 35:29
  great
• 35:29
  at
• 35:30
  me
• 35:30
  giving
• 35:30
  even
• 35:31
  little
• 35:31
  feedback,
• 35:31
  like,
• 35:32
  what
• 35:32
  if
• 35:32
  we
• 35:32
  change
• 35:32
  the
• 35:32
  color
• 35:33
  here?
• 35:33
  Or
• 35:33
  what
• 35:34
  if
• 35:34
  you
• 35:34
  change
• 35:34
  that
• 35:34
  poster
• 35:35
  to
• 35:35
  this?
• 35:35
  Because
• 35:36
  here's
• 35:36
  how
• 35:36
  that
• 35:37
  connects
• 35:37
  to
• 35:37
  my
• 35:37
  childhood.
• 35:38
  And
• 35:38
  she
• 35:38
  was
• 35:39
  happy
• 35:40
  to
• 35:40
  do
• 35:40
  it
• 35:40
  every
• 35:40
  time
• 35:41
  and
• 35:41
  enthusiastically
• 35:42
  changed
• 35:43
  it.
• 35:43
  And
• 35:44
  I
• 35:44
  think
• 35:44
  that
• 35:44
  level
• 35:45
  of
• 35:45
  collaboration
• 35:46
  meant
• 35:46
  everything.
• 35:47
  I
• 35:47
  never
• 35:47
  thought
• 35:48
  of
• 35:48
  that
• 35:48
  until
• 35:48
  you
• 35:48
  said
• 35:49
  it.
• 35:49
  And
• 35:49
  it's
• 35:50
  great
• 35:50
  because,
• 35:50
  like
• 35:51
  I
• 35:51
  said
• 35:51
  to
• 35:51
  you,
• 35:51
  I've
• 35:52
  talked
• 35:52
  to
• 35:52
  so
• 35:52
  many
• 35:53
  children's
• 35:53
  book
• 35:53
  authors
• 35:54
  that
• 35:55
  love
• 35:55
  their
• 35:55
  illustrator,
• 35:57
  but
• 35:57
  I
• 35:57
  haven't
• 35:57
  delved
• 35:58
  into
• 35:59
  how
• 36:00
  deep.
• 36:00
  Like,
• 36:01
  in
• 36:01
  terms
• 36:01
  of
• 36:03
  giving
• 36:03
  feedback
• 36:04
  in
• 36:04
  a
• 36:04
  positive,
• 36:05
  constructive
• 36:06
  way
• 36:06
  to.
• 36:07
  Like
• 36:08
  you
• 36:08
  said,
• 36:08
  the
• 36:08
  illustrator
• 36:09
  wants
• 36:09
  to
• 36:10
  take
• 36:10
  what
• 36:10
  you're
• 36:11
  envisioning
• 36:12
  and
• 36:12
  bring
• 36:12
  it
• 36:12
  to
• 36:12
  life.
• 36:14
  Absolutely.
