• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  love

  I

  Thank

• 4:18
  And
• 4:18
  I
• 4:18
  look
• 4:18
  forward
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  our
• 4:19
  conversation.
• 4:20
  Before
• 4:21
  we
• 4:21
  get
• 4:21
  into
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  details
• 4:22
  of
• 4:23
  your
• 4:23
  book
• 4:23
  and
• 4:24
  your
• 4:24
  children's
• 4:25
  book
• 4:25
  authorship,
• 4:26
  can
• 4:26
  you
• 4:27
  tell
• 4:27
  us
• 4:28
  what
• 4:28
  it
• 4:28
  means
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  you
• 4:30
  being
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  children's
• 4:31
  book
• 4:31
  author?
• 4:33
  It's
• 4:34
  been
• 4:34
  quite
• 4:34
  an
• 4:34
  adventure,
• 4:35
  and
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  last
• 4:36
  year,
• 4:37
  it's
• 4:37
  just
• 4:37
  really
• 4:38
  come
• 4:38
  into.
• 4:39
  Everything's
• 4:40
  just
• 4:40
  come
• 4:40
  together.
• 4:41
  And
• 4:41
  I'm
• 4:42
  very
• 4:42
  new
• 4:42
  at
• 4:43
  this.
• 4:43
  I
• 4:43
  just
• 4:44
  released
• 4:44
  my
• 4:45
  book
• 4:45
  on
• 4:45
  September
• 4:46
  4th,
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  so
• 4:47
  I
• 4:48
  actually
• 4:48
  got
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  letter
• 4:49
  from
• 4:50
  my
• 4:51
  hometown
• 4:51
  library
• 4:52
  in
• 4:53
  Pittsburgh,
• 4:53
  Pennsylvania,
• 4:54
  and
• 4:55
  we
• 4:55
  haven't
• 4:55
  lived
• 4:55
  there
• 4:56
  in
• 4:56
  20
• 4:56
  years.
• 4:56
  And
• 4:56
  when
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  got
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  letter
• 4:58
  saying
• 4:58
  that's
• 4:58
  where
• 4:58
  it
• 4:58
  was
• 4:59
  from,
• 4:59
  my
• 4:59
  first
• 4:59
  instinct
• 5:00
  was
• 5:01
  doing
• 5:01
  my,
• 5:01
  oh,
• 5:01
  well,
• 5:01
  fine
• 5:02
  from
• 5:02
  30
• 5:02
  years
• 5:03
  ago.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  then
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  was
• 5:04
  like,
• 5:04
  wait,
• 5:05
  I
• 5:05
  wrote
• 5:05
  a
• 5:05
  children's
• 5:05
  book?
• 5:06
  So
• 5:06
  maybe
• 5:06
  it
• 5:06
  has
• 5:07
  something
• 5:07
  to
• 5:08
  do
• 5:08
  with
• 5:08
  that.
• 5:09
  And
• 5:09
  so
• 5:09
  I
• 5:10
  don't
• 5:10
  have
• 5:10
  a
• 5:11
  full
• 5:12
  graph
• 5:12
  grasp
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  the
• 5:13
  concept
• 5:13
  quite
• 5:14
  yet
• 5:14
  because
• 5:14
  it
• 5:14
  is
• 5:15
  new.
• 5:15
  Somebody
• 5:15
  had
• 5:16
  purchased
• 5:16
  one
• 5:17
  of
• 5:17
  my
• 5:17
  books,
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  they
• 5:18
  have
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  foundation
• 5:19
  that
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  can
• 5:20
  put
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  book
• 5:20
  in
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  library.
• 5:21
  An
• 5:21
  old
• 5:22
  friend
• 5:22
  of
• 5:22
  our
• 5:23
  family
• 5:23
  had
• 5:24
  done
• 5:24
  that,
• 5:24
  and
• 5:24
  they
• 5:24
  sent
• 5:25
  a
• 5:25
  letter,
• 5:25
  and
• 5:25
  so
• 5:25
  that
• 5:26
  was
• 5:26
  quite
• 5:26
  exciting.
• 5:26
  But
• 5:27
  it's
• 5:27
  still
• 5:28
  new
• 5:28
  and
• 5:28
  hasn't
• 5:28
  set
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  that
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  am
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  children's
• 5:31
  book
• 5:31
  author
• 5:31
  yet.
• 5:32
  I
• 5:32
  want
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  tell
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  audience
• 5:33
  this
• 5:33
  is
• 5:34
  incredible.
• 5:35
  Shannon
• 5:36
  today
• 5:36
  advised
• 5:37
  me
• 5:37
  that
• 5:37
  she's
• 5:37
  listened
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  all
• 5:38
  51
• 5:39
  episodes
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  Adventures
• 5:41
  in
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  Heart
• 5:41
  of
• 5:41
  Children's
• 5:42
  Book
• 5:42
  Authors.
• 5:43
  And
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  couldn't
• 5:44
  be
• 5:44
  more
• 5:45
  flabbergasted
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  excited
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  appreciative
• 5:48
  of
• 5:48
  you
• 5:49
  doing
• 5:49
  that.
• 5:50
  And
• 5:50
  one
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  our
• 5:51
  episodes,
• 5:51
  we
• 5:51
  had
• 5:51
  Tanya
• 5:52
  acquiesta
• 5:53
  episode
• 5:53
  14
• 5:54
  from
• 5:54
  New
• 5:54
  York,
• 5:55
  and
• 5:55
  she
• 5:56
  has
• 5:56
  written
• 5:56
  a
• 5:56
  book
• 5:56
  called
• 5:57
  Money
• 5:57
  Time.
• 5:58
  Very
• 5:58
  cute
• 5:59
  book.
• 5:59
  When
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  went
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  her
• 6:01
  social
• 6:01
  media
• 6:02
  profiles,
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  noticed
• 6:03
  she
• 6:03
  didn't
• 6:04
  have
• 6:04
  children's
• 6:04
  book
• 6:05
  authors
• 6:06
  attached
• 6:06
  to
• 6:07
  her
• 6:07
  profiles.
• 6:07
  Now,
• 6:08
  that
• 6:08
  was
• 6:08
  one
• 6:08
  of
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  questions
• 6:09
  I
• 6:09
  asked
• 6:09
  her.
• 6:09
  I
• 6:10
  asked
• 6:10
  her
• 6:10
  why
• 6:10
  it
• 6:11
  was
• 6:11
  so
• 6:11
  new
• 6:11
  to
• 6:12
  her.
• 6:12
  She
• 6:12
  never
• 6:13
  really
• 6:14
  let
• 6:14
  it
• 6:14
  sink
• 6:15
  in
• 6:15
  that
• 6:15
  she
• 6:15
  was
• 6:16
  a
• 6:16
  children's
• 6:17
  book
• 6:17
  author.
• 6:17
  Fifteen
• 6:18
  minutes
• 6:18
  after
• 6:18
  we
• 6:19
  got
• 6:19
  off
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  podcast
• 6:20
  interview,
• 6:21
  she
• 6:21
  sent
• 6:22
  me
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  message
• 6:22
  and
• 6:23
  she
• 6:23
  said,
• 6:23
  okay,
• 6:24
  now
• 6:24
  I
• 6:24
  challenge
• 6:25

  go

  all
• 6:26

• 6:27

  I

• 6:30
  I'm

• 6:31
  author.
• 6:31
  That
• 6:31
  interview
• 6:32
  is.
• 6:33
  That
• 6:33
  went
• 6:33
  on
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  checklist
• 6:34
  of
• 6:34
  something
• 6:34
  I
• 6:35
  needed
• 6:35

• 6:35
  Oh,

  Thank

• 6:44
  Thank

  you.
• 6:47
  So
• 6:47

• 6:48
  origin
• 6:49
  story,
• 6:49
  the
• 6:50
  inspiration

  behind
• 6:51
  your
• 6:51
  book.
• 6:52
  So
• 6:52
  cute.
• 6:53
  Thanks.
• 6:53
  Around
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  pandemic,
• 6:55
  we
• 6:55
  started
• 6:55
  trying
• 6:56
  to
• 6:56
  find
• 6:56
  ideas
• 6:56
  of
• 6:57
  things
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  do
• 6:57
  in
• 6:57
  the
• 6:58
  classroom
• 6:58
  that
• 6:59
  were
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  little
• 6:59
  bit
• 6:59
  different.
• 7:00
  And
• 7:00
  there
• 7:01
  actually
• 7:01
  is
• 7:01
  a
• 7:02
  book
• 7:02
  about
• 7:02
  the
• 7:03
  Macy's
• 7:03
  Day
• 7:03
  parade
• 7:04
  for
• 7:04
  Thanksgiving
• 7:05
  that
• 7:05
  a
• 7:05
  lot
• 7:06
  of
• 7:06
  teachers
• 7:06
  started
• 7:07
  reading.
• 7:07
  And
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  tells
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  whole
• 7:09
  story.
• 7:09
  It's
• 7:10
  a
• 7:10
  great
• 7:10
  book.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:10
  it
• 7:10
  goes
• 7:11
  over
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  whole
• 7:11
  story
• 7:12
  of
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  Thanksgiving
• 7:14
  balloon
• 7:15
  parade
• 7:15
  that's
• 7:16
  in
• 7:16
  New
• 7:16
  York
• 7:16
  City.
• 7:17
  And
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  started
• 7:18
  reading
• 7:18
  it
• 7:19
  to
• 7:19
  the
• 7:19
  class
• 7:19
  and
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  idea
• 7:20
  is
• 7:20
  then
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  get
• 7:21
  balloons
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  kids
• 7:22
  decorate.
• 7:23
  They
• 7:23
  decorate
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  balloons
• 7:24
  and
• 7:24
  they
• 7:24
  bring
• 7:24
  them
• 7:24
  in
• 7:25
  and
• 7:25
  then
• 7:25
  you
• 7:25
  have
• 7:25
  a
• 7:25
  little
• 7:26
  balloon
• 7:26
  parade
• 7:26
  at
• 7:27
  school.
• 7:28
  And
• 7:28
  so
• 7:28
  we
• 7:28
  started
• 7:28
  doing
• 7:29
  that
• 7:29
  and
• 7:30
  it
• 7:30
  was
• 7:30
  such
• 7:30
  a
• 7:30
  hit
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  parents
• 7:31
  just
• 7:32
  loved.
• 7:33
  Some
• 7:33
  of
• 7:33
  them
• 7:33
  had
• 7:34
  great
• 7:34
  big
• 7:34
  creations
• 7:35
  and
• 7:35
  some
• 7:35
  of
• 7:36
  them
• 7:36
  had
• 7:36
  smaller
• 7:37
  creations.
• 7:37
  And
• 7:37
  you
• 7:37
  could
• 7:38
  tell
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  ones
• 7:39
  where
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  parents
• 7:40
  did
• 7:40
  a
• 7:40
  lot
• 7:40
  of
• 7:40
  it
• 7:41
  or
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  kids
• 7:41
  did
• 7:41
  a
• 7:42
  lot
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  and
• 7:43
  they
• 7:43
  would
• 7:43
  come
• 7:43
  in
• 7:43
  and
• 7:43
  they'd
• 7:44
  have
• 7:44
  such
• 7:44
  pride.
• 7:44
  And
• 7:44
  we
• 7:45
  would
• 7:45
  march
• 7:45
  by
• 7:45
  all
• 7:46
  the
• 7:46
  other
• 7:46
  classrooms
• 7:47
  of
• 7:47
  the
• 7:48
  younger
• 7:48
  kids
• 7:48
  and
• 7:49
  then
• 7:49
  we
• 7:49
  would
• 7:50
  go
• 7:50
  outside
• 7:50
  and
• 7:51
  our
• 7:51
  parents
• 7:51
  all
• 7:52
  stand
• 7:52
  up.
• 7:52
  The
• 7:53
  church
• 7:53
  that
• 7:53
  I
• 7:53
  work
• 7:53
  at
• 7:54
  has
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  big
• 7:54
  front
• 7:55
  staircase
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  so
• 7:56
  all
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  classes
• 7:57
  come
• 7:57
  out
• 7:57
  and
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  four
• 7:58
  year
• 7:58
  old
• 7:58
  classes
• 7:59
  and
• 7:59
  we
• 7:59
  all
• 7:59
  sit
• 7:59
  on
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  staircase
• 8:01
  and
• 8:01
  then
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  parents
• 8:02
  can
• 8:02
  take
• 8:02
  all
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  pictures.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  every
• 8:03
  year
• 8:03
  we've
• 8:04
  had
• 8:04
  a
• 8:04
  little
• 8:04
  bit
• 8:05
  bigger
• 8:05
  grouping.
• 8:06
  And
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  behind
• 8:08
  this
• 8:08
  story
• 8:08
  is
• 8:09
  last
• 8:09
  year
• 8:10
  it's
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  balloon.
• 8:11
  And
• 8:12
  so
• 8:12
  we
• 8:12
  do
• 8:12
  have
• 8:12
  the
• 8:13
  parade
• 8:13
  at
• 8:13
  9:15
• 8:14
  in
• 8:14
  the
• 8:14
  morning
• 8:14
  so
• 8:14
  that
• 8:15
  it's
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  balloon,
• 8:16
  it
• 8:16
  could
• 8:16
  pop.
• 8:17
  And
• 8:17
  one
• 8:18
  of
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  little
• 8:18
  boys,
• 8:18
  his
• 8:19
  younger
• 8:19
  sister
• 8:19
  was
• 8:20
  down
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  hall
• 8:20
  and
• 8:20
  they
• 8:20
  dropped
• 8:21
  the
• 8:21
  younger
• 8:21
  sister
• 8:21
  off
• 8:22
  and
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  little
• 8:22
  boy's
• 8:23
  balloon,
• 8:24
  it
• 8:25
  hit
• 8:26
  and
• 8:27
  when
• 8:27
  it
• 8:27
  hit,
• 8:27
  then
• 8:28
  it
• 8:28
  popped.
• 8:29
  And
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  mom
• 8:30
  came
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  the
• 8:31
  door
• 8:31
  and
• 8:31
  she
• 8:31
  was
• 8:31
  just
• 8:32
  holding
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  pieces
• 8:33
  of
• 8:34
  his
• 8:34
  little
• 8:34
  broken
• 8:35
  balloon.
• 8:36
  And
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  deer
• 8:37
  was
• 8:37
  coming
• 8:37
  down
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  mom's
• 8:38
  eye.
• 8:38
  The
• 8:38
  son
• 8:39
  wasn't
• 8:39
  as
• 8:40
  upset,
• 8:40
  but
• 8:40
  the
• 8:40
  sweet
• 8:41
  little
• 8:41
  mom
• 8:41
  just
• 8:42
  standing
• 8:42
  there,
• 8:42
  of
• 8:43
  course
• 8:43
  we're
• 8:43
  prepared.
• 8:44
  We
• 8:44
  have
• 8:44
  extra
• 8:44
  balloons
• 8:45
  on
• 8:45
  hand.
• 8:45
  And
• 8:45
  so
• 8:46
  we
• 8:46
  quick
• 8:47
  blew
• 8:47
  up
• 8:47
  another
• 8:47
  balloon
• 8:48
  and
• 8:48
  we
• 8:48
  taped
• 8:49
  on
• 8:49
  his
• 8:49
  pieces
• 8:49
  from
• 8:50
  that
• 8:50
  had
• 8:50
  fallen
• 8:51
  off
• 8:51
  of
• 8:51
  his
• 8:51
  balloon.
• 8:52
  And
• 8:52
  it's
• 8:52
  Thanksgiving,
• 8:53
  so
• 8:53
  then
• 8:53
  it's
• 8:53
  crazy.
• 8:54
  And
• 8:54
  then
• 8:55
  about
• 8:55
  January,
• 8:56
  the
• 8:56
  teacher
• 8:57
  across
• 8:57
  the
• 8:57
  hall
• 8:57
  and
• 8:57
  I
• 8:58
  were
• 8:58
  just
• 8:58
  talking
• 8:58
  and
• 8:59
  we
• 8:59
  were
• 8:59
  like,
• 8:59
  we
• 9:00
  need
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  book,
• 9:01
  we
• 9:02
  need
• 9:02
  something.
• 9:02
  And
• 9:03
  so
• 9:03
  I
• 9:03
  got
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  work
• 9:04
  and
• 9:04
  started
• 9:05
  writing
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  story.
• 9:06
  And
• 9:07
  one
• 9:07
  of
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  things
• 9:08
  that
• 9:08
  you
• 9:08
  ask
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  lot
• 9:09
  of
• 9:10
  is
• 9:10
  how
• 9:10
  the
• 9:11
  names
• 9:11
  came
• 9:11
  about.
• 9:12
  And
• 9:12
  so
• 9:12
  I
• 9:13
  had
• 9:13
  already
• 9:13
  had
• 9:14
  an
• 9:14
  online
• 9:15
  business
• 9:16
  where
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  sell
• 9:18
  products
• 9:18
  on
• 9:18
  a
• 9:19
  website
• 9:19
  called
• 9:19
  Teachers
• 9:20
  Pay
• 9:20
  Teachers.
• 9:21
  And
• 9:21
  so
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  already
• 9:22
  had
• 9:22
  the
• 9:23
  business
• 9:23
  name
• 9:23
  and
• 9:23
  I
• 9:24
  already
• 9:24
  had
• 9:24
  my
• 9:24
  store
• 9:25
  and
• 9:25
  it's
• 9:26
  Joy
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  Sunshine
• 9:27
  Collective.
• 9:27
  And
• 9:28
  when
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  first
• 9:28
  came
• 9:28
  up
• 9:29
  with
• 9:29
  that
• 9:29
  four
• 9:29
  years
• 9:29
  ago,
• 9:30
  I
• 9:30
  didn't
• 9:30
  really
• 9:30
  know
• 9:30
  what
• 9:31
  the
• 9:31
  collection
• 9:31
  would
• 9:32
  be.
• 9:33
  But
• 9:33
  now
• 9:33
  it's
• 9:33
  come.
• 9:34
  When
• 9:34
  I
• 9:34
  was
• 9:35
  naming
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  characters
• 9:36
  in
• 9:36
  the
• 9:36
  story,
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  thought
• 9:37
  I
• 9:38
  need
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  keep
• 9:38
  them
• 9:38
  on
• 9:39
  brand.
• 9:39
  So
• 9:40
  the
• 9:40
  little
• 9:40
  girl
• 9:40
  is
• 9:41
  Joy
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  her
• 9:42
  cat
• 9:42
  is
• 9:42
  Sunny.
• 9:43
  How
• 9:43
  they
• 9:43
  stay
• 9:44
  on
• 9:44
  brand.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:46
  it's
• 9:46
  amazing.
• 9:47
  And
• 9:47
  we'll
• 9:47
  talk
• 9:48
  more
• 9:48
  about
• 9:48
  it.
• 9:49
  Get
• 9:49
  into
• 9:49
  this.
• 9:50
  So
• 9:50
  I'm
• 9:50
  interested
• 9:51
  because
• 9:52
  just
• 9:52
  so
• 9:52
  our
• 9:53
  audience
• 9:53
  understands,
• 9:54
  I
• 9:54
  always
• 9:55
  look
• 9:55
  for
• 9:56
  differences
• 9:57
  because
• 9:57
  we're
• 9:57
  all
• 9:58
  different.
• 9:58
  And
• 9:59
  one
• 9:59
  of
• 9:59
  the
• 9:59
  things
• 10:00
  that
• 10:00
  I
• 10:00
  noticed
• 10:01
  with
• 10:01
  Shannon,
• 10:01
  Shannon,
• 10:02
  you
• 10:02
  probably
• 10:02
  heard
• 10:03
  me
• 10:03
  say
• 10:03
  this
• 10:03
  51
• 10:04
  times
• 10:05
  is
• 10:06
  I
• 10:06
  talk
• 10:06
  to
• 10:06
  people
• 10:07
  about
• 10:07
  their
• 10:07
  website
• 10:08
  and
• 10:08
  I
• 10:08
  always
• 10:09
  ask
• 10:09
  them,
• 10:09
  did
• 10:10
  you
• 10:10
  develop
• 10:10
  your
• 10:11
  website
• 10:11
  before
• 10:12
  or
• 10:13
  after
• 10:13
  you
• 10:13
  brought
• 10:14
  your
• 10:14
  children's
• 10:15
  book
• 10:15
  to
• 10:15
  market?
• 10:15
  In
• 10:16
  Shannon's
• 10:16
  case,
• 10:17
  what's
• 10:17
  amazing
• 10:18
  is,
• 10:19
  is
• 10:19
  as
• 10:19
  she
• 10:20
  mentioned,
• 10:20
  you've
• 10:21
  had
• 10:21
  your
• 10:21
  website
• 10:22
  for
• 10:22
  four
• 10:23
  years.
• 10:24
  So
• 10:24
  it
• 10:25
  wasn't
• 10:25
  to
• 10:26
  support
• 10:27
  your
• 10:27
  book,
• 10:28
  it
• 10:28
  was
• 10:29
  support
• 10:29
  your
• 10:30
  business.
• 10:31
  And
• 10:32
  then
• 10:32
  along
• 10:33
  came
• 10:33
  your
• 10:33
  book.
• 10:34
  So
• 10:34
  let's
• 10:34
  talk
• 10:35
  a
• 10:35
  little
• 10:35
  bit
• 10:35
  about
• 10:35
  your
• 10:36
  website
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  your
• 10:37
  business
• 10:38
  and
• 10:38
  then
• 10:38
  we'll
• 10:38
  segue
• 10:39
  into
• 10:39
  how
• 10:40
  that's
• 10:40
  transformed
• 10:41
  into
• 10:42
  your
• 10:42
  children's
• 10:43
  book
• 10:43
  and
• 10:43
  your
• 10:43
  children's
• 10:44
  book
• 10:44
  business.
• 10:44
  So
• 10:45
  talk
• 10:45
  to
• 10:45
  us
• 10:45
  first
• 10:46
  about
• 10:46
  your
• 10:46
  business.
• 10:48
  In
• 10:48
  2019
• 10:49
  was
• 10:50
  a
• 10:50
  very
• 10:50
  hard
• 10:50
  year
• 10:50
  for
• 10:51
  my
• 10:51
  family.
• 10:51
  My
• 10:52
  father
• 10:52
  passed
• 10:52
  away
• 10:53
  suddenly
• 10:53
  from
• 10:53
  a
• 10:53
  heart
• 10:54
  attack.
• 10:55
  And
• 10:55
  then
• 10:56
  about
• 10:56
  eight
• 10:56
  months
• 10:57
  later,
• 10:57
  my
• 10:57
  husband's
• 10:58
  father
• 10:58
  had
• 10:59
  a
• 10:59
  stroke
• 10:59
  and
• 11:00
  he
• 11:00
  survived.
• 11:01
  And
• 11:01
  it
• 11:01
  was
• 11:01
  my
• 11:02
  husband
• 11:02
  had
• 11:02
  to
• 11:02
  travel
• 11:03
  a
• 11:03
  lot
• 11:03
  back
• 11:03
  to
• 11:04
  Pittsburgh
• 11:05
  to
• 11:05
  help
• 11:06
  with
• 11:06
  family
• 11:06
  stuff.
• 11:07
  And
• 11:07
  so
• 11:07
  that
• 11:07
  year
• 11:08
  was
• 11:08
  just
• 11:08
  a
• 11:08
  very
• 11:08
  hard
• 11:09
  year
• 11:09
  for
• 11:09
  us.
• 11:09
  And
• 11:10
  then
• 11:10
  going
• 11:10
  into
• 11:12
  2020,
• 11:13
  my
• 11:13
  son
• 11:14
  was
• 11:14
  about
• 11:14
  to
• 11:14
  graduate
• 11:15
  college
• 11:15
  and
• 11:16
  he
• 11:16
  had
• 11:16
  his
• 11:17
  grown
• 11:17
  up
• 11:17
  job.
• 11:18
  A
• 11:18
  little
• 11:18
  side
• 11:19
  note
• 11:19
  on
• 11:19
  that
• 11:19
  that
• 11:19
  I
• 11:19
  think
• 11:20
  that
• 11:20
  you'll
• 11:20
  enjoy
• 11:21
  is
• 11:21
  that
• 11:21
  when
• 11:21
  he
• 11:22
  was
• 11:22
  doing
• 11:22
  his
• 11:22
  co
• 11:22
  op
• 11:23
  in
• 11:23
  college,
• 11:24
  he
• 11:24
  actually
• 11:25
  for
• 11:25
  three
• 11:25
  months
• 11:26
  got
• 11:26
  to
• 11:26
  live
• 11:26
  in
• 11:26
  a
• 11:27
  caboose.
• 11:28
  Oh,
• 11:28
  really?
• 11:29
  Yeah,
• 11:30
  his
• 11:30
  now
• 11:30
  boss,
• 11:31
  he
• 11:31
  gave
• 11:31
  me
• 11:31
  permission
• 11:32
  to
• 11:32
  tell
• 11:32
  this
• 11:33
  little
• 11:33
  story
• 11:33
  on
• 11:33
  here.
• 11:34
  His
• 11:34
  now
• 11:34
  boss,
• 11:35
  he
• 11:35
  was
• 11:35
  doing
• 11:35
  a
• 11:35
  co
• 11:35
  op
• 11:36
  and
• 11:36
  he
• 11:36
  made
• 11:37
  it
• 11:38
  housing.
• 11:38
  And
• 11:38
  so
• 11:39
  his
• 11:39
  boss
• 11:39
  has
• 11:40
  a
• 11:40
  big
• 11:40
  piece
• 11:41
  of
• 11:41
  property
• 11:42
  and
• 11:42
  he
• 11:42
  has
• 11:43
  an
• 11:43
  old
• 11:43
  caboose
• 11:43
  on
• 11:44
  it
• 11:44
  that
• 11:44
  has
• 11:45
  been
• 11:45
  turned
• 11:45
  into.
• 11:46
  It's
• 11:47
  the
• 11:47
  caboose
• 11:48
  part,
• 11:48
  has
• 11:48
  the
• 11:49
  beds
• 11:49
  in
• 11:49
  it
• 11:49
  and
• 11:50
  the
• 11:50
  kitchen,
• 11:51
  and
• 11:51
  then
• 11:51
  they've
• 11:51
  built
• 11:52
  like
• 11:52
  a
• 11:52
  building
• 11:52
  on
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  front
• 11:53
  of
• 11:53
  it
• 11:53
  that
• 11:53
  has
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  living
• 11:54
  room
• 11:54
  and
• 11:55
  dining
• 11:55
  room
• 11:55
  and
• 11:55
  bathroom.
• 11:56
  And
• 11:56
  so
• 11:56
  he
• 11:56
  got
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  live
• 11:57
  in
• 11:57
  the
• 11:57
  caboose
• 11:58
  for
• 11:58
  a
• 11:58
  little
• 11:58
  bit.
• 11:58
  So
• 11:58
  he
• 11:58
  thought
• 11:58
  you'd
• 11:59
  like.
• 11:59
  That's
• 12:00
  terrific.
• 12:01
  I
• 12:01
  thought
• 12:01
  he
• 12:01
  would
• 12:02
  enjoy
• 12:02
  that.
• 12:02
  So
• 12:03
  he
• 12:03
  was
• 12:03
  going
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  be
• 12:03
  graduating
• 12:04
  in
• 12:04
  May
• 12:05
  and
• 12:05
  starting
• 12:05
  his
• 12:06
  grand
• 12:06
  grown
• 12:06
  up
• 12:06
  job.
• 12:06
  And
• 12:07
  then
• 12:07
  my
• 12:07
  daughter
• 12:08
  had
• 12:08
  gotten
• 12:08
  engaged
• 12:09
  to
• 12:09
  her
• 12:10
  high
• 12:10
  school
• 12:10
  sweetheart
• 12:11
  and
• 12:12
  they
• 12:12
  were
• 12:12
  getting
• 12:12
  married
• 12:12
  in
• 12:13
  July
• 12:13
  of
• 12:13
  2020
• 12:14
  as
• 12:14
  the
• 12:15
  pandemic
• 12:15
  hit.
• 12:16
  We
• 12:16
  were
• 12:16
  coming
• 12:17
  out
• 12:17
  of
• 12:17
  the
• 12:17
  sad
• 12:18
  year
• 12:18
  and
• 12:19
  then
• 12:19
  we
• 12:19
  were
• 12:19
  having
• 12:20
  this
• 12:20
  fun
• 12:20
  time
• 12:21
  that
• 12:21
  was
• 12:21
  coming
• 12:21
  around
• 12:22
  and
• 12:22
  I
• 12:22
  just
• 12:23
  was
• 12:23
  truly
• 12:24
  going
• 12:24
  to
• 12:24
  be
• 12:24
  an
• 12:24
  empty
• 12:24
  nester
• 12:25
  and
• 12:26
  processing
• 12:27
  that
• 12:27
  my
• 12:27
  kids
• 12:27
  were
• 12:27
  actually
• 12:28
  when
• 12:28
  they're
• 12:28
  in
• 12:28
  college,
• 12:29
  they
• 12:29
  come
• 12:29
  home.
• 12:30
  They
• 12:30
  still
• 12:31
  are
• 12:31
  there
• 12:32
  for
• 12:32
  holidays
• 12:33
  and
• 12:33
  summers,
• 12:33
  but
• 12:33
  they
• 12:33
  were
• 12:34
  both
• 12:34
  going
• 12:34
  to
• 12:34
  just
• 12:34
  be
• 12:35
  totally
• 12:35
  out
• 12:35
  on
• 12:36
  their
• 12:36
  own
• 12:36
  and
• 12:36
  probably
• 12:36
  not
• 12:37
  home
• 12:37
  again.
• 12:38
  And
• 12:38
  I've
• 12:39
  been
• 12:39
  a
• 12:39
  preschool
• 12:39
  teacher
• 12:40
  for
• 12:40
  24
• 12:40
  years
• 12:41
  and
• 12:41
  so
• 12:42
  looking
• 12:42
  back,
• 12:42
  it
• 12:42
  was
• 12:43
  what
• 12:43
  else
• 12:44
  is
• 12:44
  my
• 12:45
  story?
• 12:45
  What
• 12:45
  else
• 12:46
  is
• 12:46
  there?
• 12:47
  And
• 12:47
  so
• 12:47
  I
• 12:48
  started
• 12:49
  Joy
• 12:49
  and
• 12:49
  Sunshine
• 12:50
  to
• 12:50
  bring
• 12:50
  me
• 12:50
  happiness
• 12:51
  one
• 12:52
  to
• 12:52
  bring
• 12:52
  my
• 12:53
  joy
• 12:53
  back.
• 12:53
  And
• 12:54
  then
• 12:54
  also
• 12:55
  I
• 12:56
  am
• 12:56
  the
• 12:56
  kind

  my

• 12:59
  is
• 12:59
  sunny
• 13:00
  and
• 13:00
  sunshiny
• 13:01

• 13:02
  I'm

• 13:03
  very
• 13:04
  happy
• 13:04
  person
• 13:05
  and
• 13:05
  I
• 13:05
  just
• 13:06
  absolutely
• 13:06
  love
• 13:07
  teaching
• 13:07
  and
• 13:07
  I
• 13:08
  came
• 13:08
  up
• 13:08
  with
• 13:08
  Joy
• 13:08
  and
• 13:08
  Sunshine
• 13:09
  Collective.
• 13:09
  And
• 13:10
  then
• 13:10
  Teachers
• 13:10
  Pay
• 13:10
  Teachers
• 13:11
  like
• 13:11
  I
• 13:11
  said
• 13:11
  is
• 13:12
  a
• 13:12
  website
• 13:12
  that
• 13:12
  you

  can.
• 13:13
  I
• 13:13
  make
• 13:14
  PDFs
• 13:14
  and
• 13:15
  so
• 13:15
  I
• 13:15
  have
• 13:15
  bulletin
• 13:16
  boards
• 13:16
  and

• 13:22
  I
• 13:22

• 13:27
  you
• 13:27
  download
• 13:27
  it.
• 13:28
  And
• 13:28
  then
• 13:28
  so
• 13:28
  I
• 13:29
  started
• 13:29
  doing
• 13:29
  that.
• 13:29
  So
• 13:29
  I
• 13:30
  developed
• 13:30
  the
• 13:30
  website
• 13:31
  and

  question.

  In

• 13:47
  No,
• 13:47
  I
• 13:47
  don't
• 13:48
  sell
• 13:48
  anything
• 13:48

• 13:57
  are
• 13:57
  just
• 13:58

  Yes,

  million.
• 14:03
  It's
• 14:03
  like
• 14:03
  Etsy

  Okay.

• 14:07
  I
• 14:07
  know.
• 14:07
  I

  just

  understand
• 14:08
  the

  business
• 14:09
  model

• 14:10
  how
• 14:10
  teachers
• 14:11
  were
• 14:11
  paying
• 14:11
  teachers.
• 14:12
  Some
• 14:12
  teachers
• 14:13
  will
• 14:13
  buy
• 14:13
  your
• 14:13

  and

  you'll

  paid

  and
• 14:15
  sometimes
• 14:16
  you'll

  buy

  supporting
• 14:24
  each
• 14:25
  other.
• 14:25
  Yeah,
• 14:25
  and
• 14:25
  it's
• 14:25
  great
• 14:25
  because
• 14:26
  they
• 14:26

• 14:26
  care

  of
• 14:26
  all

  I
• 14:51
  started
• 14:51
  the
• 14:51
  website,
• 14:52
  and
• 14:52
  it
• 14:52
  was
• 14:52
  wonky.
• 14:53
  And
• 14:53
  I'm

• 15:00
  do
• 15:00
  things.
• 15:01
  And
• 15:02
  then
• 15:02
  I
• 15:02
  started
• 15:03
  Instagram
• 15:03
  and
• 15:04
  I

  on
• 15:13
  the
• 15:13
  children's
• 15:14
  book,
• 15:14

  I

  name
• 15:18
  a

  you

  have
• 15:20
  to
• 15:20
  make
• 15:20
  a

• 15:21
  and
• 15:21
  you

  take
• 15:22
  pictures

  have
• 15:25
  to
• 15:25
  load
• 15:25
  the

  COVID
• 15:26
  and.
• 15:26
  You
• 15:26
  have
• 15:26
  to
• 15:27
  figure
• 15:27
  out
• 15:27
  about
• 15:28
  that
• 15:28
  for
• 15:28
  a
• 15:28
  minute.
• 15:29
  Let's
• 15:29
  segue
• 15:29
  from
• 15:30
  your
• 15:31
  website
• 15:31
  that
• 15:31
  you've
• 15:32
  had
• 15:32
  for
• 15:32
  four
• 15:32
  years
• 15:33
  and
• 15:33
  how
• 15:34
  you've
• 15:34
  been
• 15:34
  able
• 15:34
  to
• 15:35
  utilize
• 15:35
  it.
• 15:36
  I
• 15:36
  love
• 15:36
  how,
• 15:36
  like
• 15:36
  you
• 15:37
  said,
• 15:37
  again,
• 15:38
  kept
• 15:39
  it
• 15:39
  on
• 15:39
  brand.
• 15:40
  I
• 15:40
  don't
• 15:40
  think
• 15:40
  a
• 15:40
  lot
• 15:41
  of
• 15:41
  times
• 15:41
  people
• 15:41
  understand
• 15:42
  that
• 15:43
  you
• 15:43
  are
• 15:43
  building
• 15:44
  a
• 15:44
  brand.
• 15:44
  And
• 15:45
  I
• 15:45
  love
• 15:45
  what
• 15:45
  you
• 15:45
  did
• 15:46
  because
• 15:46
  you
• 15:46
  actually
• 15:47
  took
• 15:47
  the
• 15:47
  name
• 15:48
  of
• 15:48
  your
• 15:48
  business
• 15:49
  and
• 15:49
  then
• 15:49
  incorporated
• 15:50
  the
• 15:50
  two
• 15:51
  main
• 15:51
  characters
• 15:52
  in
• 15:52
  your
• 15:52
  book
• 15:53
  from
• 15:53
  your
• 15:54
  core
• 15:54
  business.
• 15:55
  Talk
• 15:55
  to
• 15:55
  us
• 15:56
  about
• 15:56
  the
• 15:57
  whole
• 15:57
  children's
• 15:58
  book
• 15:58
  development,
• 15:59
  and
• 15:59
  then
• 16:00
  we'll
• 16:00
  talk
• 16:00
  about
• 16:00
  how
• 16:01
  you
• 16:01
  then
• 16:01
  put
• 16:01
  that
• 16:02
  onto
• 16:02
  your
• 16:02
  website.
• 16:03
  I
• 16:03
  know
• 16:04
  that
• 16:04
  a
• 16:04
  lot
• 16:04
  of
• 16:04
  guests
• 16:05
  that
• 16:05
  you
• 16:05
  have
• 16:05
  on
• 16:05
  talk
• 16:05
  about
• 16:06
  whether
• 16:06
  they're
• 16:06
  indie
• 16:07
  or
• 16:07
  whether
• 16:07
  they
• 16:08
  use
• 16:08
  a
• 16:09
  hybrid
• 16:09
  publisher.
• 16:10
  And
• 16:10
  I
• 16:10
  know
• 16:10
  there's
• 16:11
  some
• 16:11
  very
• 16:11
  popular
• 16:12
  ones.
• 16:12
  And
• 16:13
  I'm
• 16:13
  a
• 16:13
  frugalista.
• 16:17
  I'm
• 16:17
  cheap.
• 16:18
  I
• 16:19
  like
• 16:19
  that.
• 16:19
  That's
• 16:19
  great
• 16:20
  terminology.
• 16:21
  There's
• 16:22
  decisions
• 16:22
  we
• 16:22
  make
• 16:23
  that
• 16:23
  are
• 16:23
  treating
• 16:24
  it
• 16:24
  like
• 16:24
  a
• 16:24
  hobby
• 16:24
  and
• 16:25
  treating
• 16:25
  it
• 16:25
  like
• 16:25
  a
• 16:25
  business
• 16:26
  and
• 16:26
  then
• 16:26
  also
• 16:27
  getting
• 16:27
  it
• 16:27
  done
• 16:28
  versus
• 16:28
  having
• 16:28
  it
• 16:29
  sit
• 16:29
  here.
• 16:29
  Absolutely.
• 16:30
  And
• 16:30
  so
• 16:31
  to
• 16:31
  get
• 16:32
  through
• 16:32
  that,
• 16:32
  I
• 16:32
  just
• 16:33
  needed.
• 16:33
  Everything's
• 16:34
  figureoutable.
• 16:35
  Right.
• 16:35
  And
• 16:35
  so
• 16:35
  I
• 16:36
  found
• 16:36
  somebody
• 16:36
  on
• 16:36
  YouTube.
• 16:37
  And
• 16:38
  can
• 16:38
  I
• 16:38
  say,
• 16:39
  is
• 16:39
  it
• 16:39
  okay.
• 16:39
  To
• 16:39
  say,
• 16:39
  oh,
• 16:40
  yeah,
• 16:40
  you
• 16:41
  know
• 16:41
  what?
• 16:41
  We'd
• 16:41
  like
• 16:41
  to
• 16:41
  share
• 16:42
  everything
• 16:42
  so
• 16:43
  that
• 16:43
  if
• 16:43
  someone
• 16:44
  says,
• 16:44
  oh,
• 16:44
  I'd
• 16:45
  like
• 16:45
  to
• 16:45
  do
• 16:45
  what
• 16:45
  Shannon
• 16:46
  did,
• 16:46
  and
• 16:46
  if
• 16:47
  you're
• 16:47
  happy,
• 16:47
  it's
• 16:48
  like
• 16:48
  an
• 16:48
  endorsement,
• 16:49
  and
• 16:49
  then
• 16:49
  someone
• 16:50
  can
• 16:50
  do
• 16:50
  that.
• 16:51
  Yeah.
• 16:51
  So
• 16:52
  her
• 16:52
  name
• 16:52
  is
• 16:52
  Evie
• 16:52
  Jones,
• 16:53
  and
• 16:54
  she
• 16:54
  has
• 16:55
  so
• 16:55
  many
• 16:56
  YouTube
• 16:56
  videos
• 16:57
  that
• 16:57
  I
• 16:58
  could
• 16:58
  not
• 16:58
  have
• 16:58
  gone
• 16:59
  through
• 16:59
  the
• 16:59
  process
• 17:00
  without
• 17:00
  those
• 17:00
  YouTube
• 17:01
  videos.
• 17:01
  I
• 17:01
  wouldn't
• 17:02
  have
• 17:02
  been
• 17:02
  able
• 17:02
  to
• 17:02
  figure
• 17:03
  everything
• 17:03
  out.
• 17:03
  And
• 17:04
  just
• 17:04
  so
• 17:04
  you
• 17:04
  know,
• 17:04
  I
• 17:05
  actually,
• 17:05
  one
• 17:06
  of
• 17:06
  the
• 17:06
  first
• 17:06
  things
• 17:06
  I
• 17:06
  did
• 17:07
  even
• 17:07
  before
• 17:07
  I
• 17:07
  wrote
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  children's
• 17:08
  book
• 17:09
  is
• 17:09
  I
• 17:09
  bought
• 17:09
  Evie
• 17:10
  Jones's
• 17:10
  book.
• 17:11
  Oh,
• 17:11
  okay,
• 17:12
  so
• 17:13
  I
• 17:13
  know
• 17:13
  who
• 17:13
  you're
• 17:13
  talking
• 17:14
  about.
• 17:14
  So
• 17:15
  shout
• 17:15
  out
• 17:15
  to
• 17:15
  Evie
• 17:16
  Jones.
• 17:16
  Yes.
• 17:17
  When
• 17:17
  it
• 17:17
  came
• 17:18
  to
• 17:18
  formatting
• 17:19
  with
• 17:19
  29
• 17:19
  video
• 17:20
  playlists
• 17:21
  and
• 17:21
  I
• 17:21
  just
• 17:21
  went
• 17:21
  through
• 17:22
  and
• 17:22
  spent
• 17:22
  a
• 17:22
  week
• 17:23
  formatting
• 17:23
  her
• 17:24
  website
• 17:24
  and
• 17:24
  everything
• 17:25
  just
• 17:25
  really
• 17:25
  guided
• 17:26
  me
• 17:26
  through.
• 17:26
  Through
• 17:26
  it
• 17:26
  and
• 17:27
  view
• 17:27
  a
• 17:27
  lot
• 17:27
  of
• 17:27
  credit
• 17:28
  because
• 17:29
  that's
• 17:29
  a
• 17:30
  big
• 17:30
  undertaking.
• 17:31
  I
• 17:32
  think
• 17:32
  because
• 17:32
  I
• 17:32
  had
• 17:33
  that
• 17:33
  foundation
• 17:34
  from
• 17:35
  my
• 17:35
  other
• 17:35
  stuff,
• 17:36
  then
• 17:36
  I
• 17:36
  felt
• 17:37
  confident
• 17:37
  that
• 17:38
  I
• 17:38
  was
• 17:38
  able
• 17:38
  to
• 17:38
  figure
• 17:39
  it
• 17:39
  out
• 17:39
  on
• 17:39
  my
• 17:39
  own.
• 17:40
  You're
• 17:40
  truly
• 17:41
  an
• 17:41
  indie
• 17:42
  book
• 17:42
  publisher.
• 17:44
  Yes.
• 17:45
  And
• 17:45
  it's
• 17:46
  illustrating.
• 17:47
  I
• 17:47
  come
• 17:47
  from
• 17:48
  an
• 17:48
  artistic
• 17:48
  background.
• 17:49
  I've
• 17:50
  just
• 17:50
  always
• 17:50
  done.
• 17:51
  Art's
• 17:51
  just
• 17:51
  been
• 17:52
  a
• 17:52
  part
• 17:52
  of
• 17:52
  me.
• 17:52
  My
• 17:52
  grandmother,
• 17:54
  if
• 17:54
  you
• 17:54
  want
• 17:54
  another
• 17:54
  little
• 17:54
  side
• 17:55
  story.
• 17:56
  My
• 17:56
  grandmother,
• 17:57
  when
• 17:57
  she
• 17:57
  graduated
• 17:59
  art
• 17:59
  school,
• 17:59
  she
• 18:00
  worked
• 18:00
  in
• 18:01
  a
• 18:01
  little
• 18:01
  town
• 18:02
  at
• 18:02
  a
• 18:02
  department
• 18:02
  store,
• 18:03
  and
• 18:03
  her
• 18:03
  job
• 18:04
  was
• 18:04
  to
• 18:04
  draw
• 18:06
  whatever
• 18:06
  was
• 18:06
  for
• 18:07
  sale
• 18:07
  that
• 18:07
  would
• 18:08
  run
• 18:08
  in
• 18:08
  the
• 18:08
  newspaper.
• 18:09
  So
• 18:09
  they
• 18:09
  would
• 18:09
  bring
• 18:09
  her
• 18:10
  fur
• 18:10
  coat
• 18:10
  and
• 18:10
  she
• 18:10
  would
• 18:11
  draw
• 18:11
  a
• 18:11
  fur
• 18:11
  coat
• 18:12
  and
• 18:12
  then
• 18:13
  they'd
• 18:13
  bring
• 18:13
  her
• 18:13
  shoes
• 18:14
  and
• 18:14
  she
• 18:14
  would
• 18:14
  draw
• 18:14
  the
• 18:15
  shoes
• 18:15
  and.
• 18:16
  And
• 18:16
  then
• 18:16
  it
• 18:16
  would
• 18:16
  appear
• 18:17
  in
• 18:17
  the
• 18:17
  newspaper.
• 18:18
  And
• 18:18
  I
• 18:18
  think
• 18:18
  I
• 18:19
  got
• 18:19
  my
• 18:19
  artistic
• 18:20
  abilities.
• 18:20
  I
• 18:21
  have
• 18:21
  a
• 18:21
  lot
• 18:21
  in
• 18:21
  my
• 18:22
  family.
• 18:22
  So
• 18:22
  I
• 18:22
  want
• 18:22
  to
• 18:23
  make
• 18:23
  sure
• 18:23
  people
• 18:23
  understand
• 18:25
  you're
• 18:25
  truly
• 18:26
  an
• 18:26
  independent
• 18:28
  children's
• 18:28
  book
• 18:29
  author.
• 18:30
  What
• 18:30
  did
• 18:31
  you
• 18:31
  name
• 18:31
  your
• 18:31
  publishing
• 18:32
  company
• 18:32
  or
• 18:32
  did
• 18:33
  you
• 18:33
  even.
• 18:34
  Do
• 18:34
  you
• 18:34
  have
• 18:34
  a
• 18:34
  publishing.
• 18:35
  I
• 18:35
  think
• 18:35
  that
• 18:35
  I
• 18:35
  just
• 18:36
  used
• 18:36
  my
• 18:36
  name.
• 18:37
  Okay.
• 18:38
  I
• 18:39
  probably
• 18:39
  could
• 18:39
  have
• 18:39
  used
• 18:40
  Julian
• 18:40
  Sun.
• 18:40
  Giant
• 18:41
  Collective,
• 18:41
  but
• 18:41
  yeah,
• 18:42
  you
• 18:42
  say
• 18:42
  stay
• 18:42
  on
• 18:43
  brand.
• 18:43
  You
• 18:43
  might
• 18:43
  have
• 18:44
  to
• 18:44
  do
• 18:44
  that.
• 18:45
  And
• 18:45
  the
• 18:46
  other
• 18:46
  interesting
• 18:47
  part
• 18:47
  is
• 18:47
  I
• 18:47
  have
• 18:47
  to
• 18:48
  talk
• 18:48
  to
• 18:48
  you
• 18:48
  about
• 18:48
  is
• 18:49
  you
• 18:49
  did
• 18:49
  all
• 18:50
  the
• 18:50
  illustrations.
• 18:51
  I
• 18:51
  did.
• 18:52
  You're
• 18:52
  the
• 18:52
  illustrator.
• 18:54
  So
• 18:54
  there
• 18:55
  was
• 18:55
  a
• 18:55
  guest
• 18:55
  I
• 18:56
  had
• 18:56
  on
• 18:56
  Krishana
• 18:57
  Greer
• 18:57
  episode
• 18:58
  44.
• 18:58
  And
• 18:59
  if
• 18:59
  you
• 18:59
  remember,
• 18:59
  Krishana
• 19:01
  was
• 19:01
  the
• 19:01
  illustrator.
• 19:02
  And
• 19:02
  I
• 19:02
  asked
• 19:03
  her,
• 19:03
  why
• 19:04
  didn't
• 19:04
  you
• 19:04
  give
• 19:05
  yourself
• 19:05
  credit
• 19:06
  as
• 19:07
  the
• 19:07
  illustrator?
• 19:09
  And
• 19:09
  again,
• 19:10
  it
• 19:10
  was
• 19:10
  something
• 19:11
  similar
• 19:11
  to
• 19:11
  what
• 19:12
  we
• 19:12
  went
• 19:12
  through
• 19:13
  with
• 19:13
  Tanya
• 19:14
  Acquiesta.
• 19:15
  She
• 19:15
  never
• 19:16
  really
• 19:16
  thought
• 19:16
  about
• 19:16
  that.
• 19:17
  That
• 19:17
  is
• 19:18
  incredible
• 19:19
  skill.
• 19:20
  So
• 19:20
  why
• 19:20
  haven't
• 19:21
  you
• 19:21
  given.
• 19:22
  I
• 19:22
  put
• 19:23
  by.
• 19:23
  And
• 19:23
  then
• 19:24
  where
• 19:24
  the.
• 19:24
  On
• 19:25
  the
• 19:25
  inside
• 19:25
  of
• 19:25
  the
• 19:25
  book
• 19:26
  where
• 19:26
  the
• 19:26
  copyright
• 19:27
  and
• 19:27
  everything
• 19:27
  is
• 19:27
  it.
• 19:28
  I
• 19:28
  did
• 19:28
  put
• 19:28
  it
• 19:28
  there.
• 19:29
  Okay.
• 19:30
  So
• 19:30
  it
• 19:30
  does
• 19:31
  say
• 19:31
  that
• 19:31
  it
• 19:31
  was
• 19:31
  written
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  ill
• 19:32
  illustrated.
• 19:33
  If
• 19:33
  you
• 19:33
  get
• 19:33
  a
• 19:33
  chance,
• 19:33
  I
• 19:34
  would
• 19:34
  just
• 19:34
  add
• 19:34
  that
• 19:35
  on
• 19:35
  because
• 19:36
  that
• 19:36
  is
• 19:36
  such
• 19:36
  a.
• 19:37
  Your
• 19:37
  front
• 19:37
  cover.
• 19:38
  Yeah.
• 19:38
  I
• 19:39
  wouldn't
• 19:39
  keep
• 19:39
  it
• 19:39
  a
• 19:39
  secret
• 19:40
  because
• 19:40
  you
• 19:40
  know
• 19:40
  what?
• 19:41
  I'm
• 19:41
  not
• 19:41
  sure
• 19:41
  how
• 19:41
  many
• 19:42
  people
• 19:42
  are.
• 19:42
  It's
• 19:43
  not
• 19:43
  like
• 19:43
  the
• 19:43
  old
• 19:43
  days
• 19:44
  where
• 19:44
  you
• 19:44
  read
• 19:44
  the
• 19:44
  back
• 19:44
  of
• 19:45
  a
• 19:45
  cereal
• 19:45
  box
• 19:45
  because
• 19:46
  now
• 19:46
  what
• 19:46
  have
• 19:46
  you
• 19:46
  got?
• 19:47
  You
• 19:47
  got
• 19:47
  your
• 19:47
  iPad,
• 19:48
  but
• 19:48
  yes.
• 19:49
  You
• 19:49
  know
• 19:49
  what?
• 19:50
  When
• 19:50
  you've
• 19:50
  got
• 19:51
  a
• 19:51
  skill
• 19:51
  like
• 19:51
  that,
• 19:52
  Shannon,
• 19:52
  now
• 19:53
  this
• 19:53
  is
• 19:53
  just
• 19:53
  my
• 19:53
  opinion.
• 19:54
  I'D
• 19:54
  make
• 19:55
  sure
• 19:55
  I
• 19:55
  was
• 19:55
  shouting
• 19:56
  that
• 19:56
  from
• 19:56
  the
• 19:56
  rooftop.
• 19:57
  Because
• 19:57
  you've
• 19:58
  done
• 19:58
  a
• 19:58
  beautiful
• 19:58
  job
• 19:58
  with
• 19:59
  your
• 19:59
  illustrations.
• 20:00
  Thank
• 20:00
  you.
• 20:00
  And
• 20:01
  I
• 20:01
  think
• 20:01
  it's
• 20:01
  when
• 20:01
  you're
• 20:02
  first
• 20:02
  starting,
• 20:02
  you
• 20:03
  don't
• 20:03
  know
• 20:03
  where
• 20:03
  it's
• 20:04
  going
• 20:04
  to
• 20:04
  take
• 20:04
  you.
• 20:05
  And
• 20:05
  I
• 20:05
  wasn't
• 20:05
  sure
• 20:06
  how
• 20:06
  I
• 20:06
  was
• 20:06
  going
• 20:06
  to
• 20:06
  figure
• 20:06
  it
• 20:07
  out.
• 20:07
  And
• 20:07
  my
• 20:08
  son
• 20:08
  was
• 20:08
  actually.
• 20:08
  He
• 20:09
  was.
• 20:09
  He
• 20:09
  said,
• 20:09
  mom,
• 20:10
  you
• 20:10
  need
• 20:10
  to
• 20:10
  use
• 20:10
  Procreate.
• 20:11
  And
• 20:12
  so
• 20:12
  I
• 20:12
  said,
• 20:12
  okay,
• 20:13
  I'll
• 20:13
  figure
• 20:13
  out
• 20:13
  Procreate.
• 20:14
  And
• 20:14
  I
• 20:14
  found
• 20:15
  that
• 20:15
  somebody
• 20:15
  else
• 20:15
  on
• 20:16
  YouTube
• 20:17
  that
• 20:17
  has
• 20:17
  videos
• 20:18
  and
• 20:19
  you.
• 20:19
  And
• 20:20
  therefore
• 20:20
  commercial
• 20:21
  use.
• 20:21
  You
• 20:21
  can
• 20:21
  watch
• 20:22
  her
• 20:22
  videos
• 20:22
  on
• 20:22
  her
• 20:23
  website.
• 20:23
  She
• 20:23
  sells
• 20:24
  the
• 20:24
  brushes
• 20:25
  and
• 20:25
  some
• 20:26
  things
• 20:26
  that
• 20:26
  like
• 20:27
  textures
• 20:27
  to
• 20:27
  make
• 20:28
  something
• 20:28
  look
• 20:28
  like
• 20:28
  blue
• 20:29
  jeans
• 20:29
  or
• 20:29
  whatever.
• 20:30
  And
• 20:30
  so
• 20:30
  you
• 20:30
  can
• 20:30
  buy
• 20:31
  those
• 20:31
  brushes
• 20:31
  and
• 20:31
  you
• 20:32
  are
• 20:32
  allowed
• 20:32
  to
• 20:32
  use
• 20:32
  them
• 20:32
  commercially.
• 20:33
  And
• 20:33
  so
• 20:34
  I
• 20:34
  would
• 20:34
  just
• 20:34
  follow
• 20:35
  a
• 20:35
  lot
• 20:35
  of
• 20:35
  how
• 20:36
  she
• 20:36
  did
• 20:36
  it.
• 20:36
  But
• 20:36
  I
• 20:36
  didn't
• 20:37
  want
• 20:37
  my
• 20:37
  stuff
• 20:37
  to
• 20:37
  look
• 20:37
  like
• 20:38
  I
• 20:38
  didn't
• 20:38
  hire
• 20:38
  her.
• 20:39
  I
• 20:39
  would
• 20:39
  have
• 20:39
  loved
• 20:39
  to
• 20:39
  have
• 20:40
  hired
• 20:40
  her
• 20:40
  to
• 20:41
  just.
• 20:41
  But
• 20:42
  I
• 20:42
  figured
• 20:42
  it
• 20:42
  out
• 20:43
  and
• 20:43
  at
• 20:43
  the
• 20:43
  end
• 20:43
  of
• 20:44
  it,
• 20:44
  my
• 20:44
  daughter
• 20:44
  actually
• 20:45
  said,
• 20:45
  mom,
• 20:45
  the
• 20:46
  hard
• 20:46
  part
• 20:46
  is
• 20:47
  keeping
• 20:47
  it
• 20:48
  consistent
• 20:48
  through
• 20:48
  the
• 20:49
  whole
• 20:49
  book.
• 20:49
  Yeah.
• 20:50
  And
• 20:50
  I
• 20:50
  struggled
• 20:50
  a
• 20:50
  little
• 20:51
  bit
• 20:51
  with
• 20:51
  that.
• 20:51
  And
• 20:51
  when
• 20:52
  I
• 20:52
  got
• 20:52
  to
• 20:52
  the
• 20:52
  end,
• 20:53
  then
• 20:53
  I
• 20:53
  had
• 20:53
  to
• 20:53
  go
• 20:54
  back
• 20:54
  in.
• 20:54
  The
• 20:54
  first
• 20:55
  couple
• 20:55
  people
• 20:55
  that
• 20:56
  I
• 20:56
  drew,
• 20:56
  I
• 20:56
  had
• 20:56
  to
• 20:56
  go
• 20:56
  back
• 20:57
  and
• 20:57
  fix
• 20:58
  them
• 20:58
  up.
• 20:58
  And
• 20:58
  my
• 20:59
  daughter
• 20:59
  was
• 20:59
  like,
• 20:59
  she
• 20:59
  looks
• 21:00
  different.
• 21:00
  I
• 21:00
  was
• 21:00
  like,
• 21:00
  she's
• 21:01
  wearing
• 21:01
  the
• 21:01
  same
• 21:01
  clothes
• 21:02
  and
• 21:02
  she
• 21:02
  goes,
• 21:02
  but
• 21:02
  her
• 21:03
  hair
• 21:03
  is
• 21:03
  different.
• 21:03
  And
• 21:04
  I
• 21:04
  had
• 21:04
  to
• 21:04
  go
• 21:04
  in
• 21:05
  and
• 21:05
  clean
• 21:05
  that
• 21:05
  up.
• 21:06
  I
• 21:06
  love
• 21:06
  it.
• 21:06
  But
• 21:06
  you
• 21:07
  didn't
• 21:07
  know
• 21:07
  until
• 21:07
  you
• 21:07
  finished
• 21:08
  it
• 21:09
  what
• 21:09
  it
• 21:09
  was
• 21:09
  going
• 21:09
  to
• 21:10
  all
• 21:10
  for
• 21:10
  you.
• 21:11
  That's
• 21:12
  absolutely
• 21:13
  amazing.
• 21:13
  I
• 21:14
  noticed
• 21:14
  you
• 21:14
  had
• 21:15
  in
• 21:15
  there
• 21:15
  tell
• 21:15
  us
• 21:15
  about
• 21:16
  Readsy
• 21:17
  because
• 21:17
  it
• 21:18
  says
• 21:18
  for
• 21:18
  typesetting.
• 21:19
  So
• 21:19
  I
• 21:19
  need
• 21:20
  to
• 21:20
  understand
• 21:20
  what
• 21:21
  that
• 21:21
  service
• 21:21
  is.
• 21:22
  I
• 21:22
  use
• 21:22
  Canva
• 21:23
  to
• 21:24
  load
• 21:24
  the
• 21:24
  actual
• 21:25
  book.
• 21:25
  Okay.
• 21:26
  And
• 21:27
  so
• 21:27
  you
• 21:27
  go
• 21:27
  through
• 21:28
  Canva
• 21:28
  and
• 21:28
  load
• 21:29
  it
• 21:29
  that
• 21:29
  way.
• 21:29
  But
• 21:30
  there
• 21:30
  has
• 21:30
  to
• 21:31
  be
• 21:31
  another
• 21:31
  step
• 21:32
  in
• 21:32
  there.
• 21:32
  And
• 21:33
  so
• 21:33
  that
• 21:33
  Evie
• 21:34
  Jones,
• 21:34
  that
• 21:34
  was
• 21:34
  one
• 21:34
  of
• 21:35
  her
• 21:35
  suggestions
• 21:36
  was
• 21:36
  to
• 21:37
  use
• 21:37
  the
• 21:37
  read.
• 21:37
  It's
• 21:38
  just
• 21:38
  a
• 21:38
  website.
• 21:39
  Okay.
• 21:39
  And
• 21:40
  so
• 21:40
  you
• 21:40
  load
• 21:40
  your
• 21:40
  book
• 21:41
  into
• 21:41
  there
• 21:42
  and
• 21:42
  that
• 21:42
  prepares
• 21:43
  it
• 21:43
  to
• 21:43
  be
• 21:43
  an
• 21:44
  ebook.
• 21:44
  Now,
• 21:44
  is
• 21:44
  that
• 21:45
  a
• 21:45
  paid
• 21:45
  service?
• 21:46
  No,
• 21:46
  that
• 21:47
  was
• 21:47
  free.
• 21:47
  That
• 21:47
  was
• 21:48
  free
• 21:48
  too.
• 21:48
  Wow.
• 21:50
  But
• 21:50
  you
• 21:50
  had
• 21:50
  to
• 21:50
  watch
• 21:51
  the
• 21:51
  videos.
• 21:51
  To
• 21:51
  figure
• 21:52
  how
• 21:53
  to
• 21:53

  of

  your

  don't

  recommend
• 22:23
  what

  I
• 22:23
  did.
• 22:24
  I

  didn't
• 22:24
  get
• 22:25
  my
• 22:25
  own
• 22:28
  number.
• 22:28
  My

  ISBN
• 22:29
  number.
• 22:29
  Oh,
• 22:30
  you
• 22:30
  didn't
• 22:30
  get
• 22:30
  an
• 22:30
  ISBN.
• 22:32
  I.
• 22:32
  I
• 22:33
  was
• 22:33
  researching
• 22:34
  and
• 22:34
  I
• 22:34
  said,
• 22:34
  you
• 22:35
  know
• 22:35
  what?
• 22:35
  I
• 22:35
  want
• 22:36
  to
• 22:36
  get
• 22:36
  the
• 22:36
  book
• 22:36
  out
• 22:37
  there.
• 22:37
  That
• 22:37
  was
• 22:37
  one
• 22:37
  of
• 22:38
  those.
• 22:38
  Not
• 22:38
  having
• 22:39
  the
• 22:39
  book
• 22:39
  sitting
• 22:39
  here,
• 22:40
  wanting
• 22:40
  the
• 22:40
  book
• 22:40
  done.
• 22:41
  And
• 22:41
  I
• 22:41
  said,
• 22:41
  you
• 22:42
  know
• 22:42
  what?
• 22:42
  I'm
• 22:42
  just
• 22:42
  gonna
• 22:43
  do
• 22:43
  Amazon.
• 22:44
  I
• 22:45
  feel
• 22:45
  comfortable
• 22:46
  with
• 22:46
  it,
• 22:47
  and
• 22:47
  I.
• 22:47
  I'm
• 22:48
  just
• 22:48
  going
• 22:48
  to
• 22:48
  stick
• 22:48
  with
• 22:49
  that
• 22:49
  method
• 22:50
  and
• 22:50
  I'm
• 22:50
  content
• 22:50
  with
• 22:51
  just
• 22:51
  having
• 22:52
  them
• 22:52
  on
• 22:52
  Amazon.
• 22:53
  Okay.
• 22:53
  The
• 22:54
  only
• 22:54
  reason
• 22:54
  I
• 22:54
  ask
• 22:55
  is
• 22:55
  it's.
• 22:56
  So
• 22:57
  can
• 22:57
  you
• 22:59
  modify.
• 23:00
  In
• 23:00
  the
• 23:00
  future,
• 23:01
  can
• 23:01
  you
• 23:01
  move
• 23:02
  away
• 23:02
  from
• 23:02
  Amazon's
• 23:04
  product
• 23:04
  code
• 23:04
  number
• 23:05
  and
• 23:06
  purchase
• 23:07
  a.
• 23:07
  Because
• 23:07
  I
• 23:08
  know
• 23:08
  in
• 23:08
  the
• 23:08
  United
• 23:08
  States
• 23:08
  you
• 23:09
  have
• 23:09
  to
• 23:09
  purchase
• 23:09
  your
• 23:09
  ISBNs.
• 23:11
  Yes.
• 23:11
  And
• 23:12
  then
• 23:13
  once
• 23:13
  you
• 23:13
  have
• 23:13
  your
• 23:13
  own
• 23:13
  ISBN,
• 23:14
  then
• 23:14
  you
• 23:14
  can
• 23:15
  get
• 23:15
  worldwide
• 23:16
  distribution.
• 23:17
  By
• 23:18
  using
• 23:18
  Sparks,
• 23:19
  you
• 23:19
  get
• 23:19
  to
• 23:20
  reach
• 23:20
  the
• 23:20
  other
• 23:20
  online
• 23:21
  retailers.
• 23:22
  Yes.
• 23:23
  And
• 23:23
  I
• 23:23
  thought
• 23:24
  about
• 23:24
  that,
• 23:24
  but
• 23:24
  I
• 23:25
  don't
• 23:25
  know,
• 23:25
  maybe
• 23:25
  that's
• 23:25
  a.
• 23:25
  Thinking
• 23:26
  small
• 23:26
  about
• 23:27
  how
• 23:27
  big
• 23:28
  of
• 23:28
  an
• 23:28
  impact
• 23:29
  that
• 23:30
  it
• 23:30
  could
• 23:30
  potentially
• 23:31
  have.
• 23:31
  And
• 23:31
  I've
• 23:32
  trusted
• 23:32
  teachers,
• 23:33
  pay
• 23:33
  teachers
• 23:33
  to
• 23:34
  just.
• 23:34
  That's
• 23:34
  the
• 23:35
  only
• 23:35
  place
• 23:35
  that
• 23:35
  my
• 23:35
  products
• 23:36
  are
• 23:36
  for
• 23:36
  sale.
• 23:37
  And
• 23:37
  so
• 23:37
  I
• 23:37
  said,
• 23:38
  let
• 23:38
  me
• 23:38
  just
• 23:39
  get
• 23:39
  this
• 23:39
  done
• 23:39
  and
• 23:40
  let
• 23:40
  me
• 23:40
  just
• 23:40
  have
• 23:40
  this
• 23:41
  finished
• 23:41
  product.
• 23:42
  So
• 23:42
  I
• 23:43
  did
• 23:43
  go
• 23:43
  that
• 23:43
  route.
• 23:44
  But
• 23:44
  your
• 23:44
  book
• 23:45
  is
• 23:45
  available
• 23:45
  through
• 23:46
  Amazon.
• 23:47
  The
• 23:47
  beautiful
• 23:48
  thing
• 23:48
  about
• 23:48
  it
• 23:48
  is
• 23:49
  you
• 23:49
  have
• 23:49
  the
• 23:49
  soft
• 23:50
  cover
• 23:50
  and
• 23:51
  the
• 23:51
  ebook.
• 23:52
  I
• 23:52
  was
• 23:52
  wondering,
• 23:53
  because
• 23:53
  you
• 23:53
  have
• 23:53
  your
• 23:53
  second
• 23:53
  book
• 23:54
  out
• 23:54
  now
• 23:55
  is.
• 23:55
  I
• 23:56
  am
• 23:56
  working
• 23:56
  on
• 23:57
  my
• 23:57
  next
• 23:57
  book
• 23:58
  because
• 23:58
  I
• 23:58
  realized
• 23:59
  that
• 23:59
  I
• 23:59
  really
• 23:59
  love
• 24:00
  this
• 24:00
  process.
• 24:01
  It's
• 24:01
  brought
• 24:01
  quite
• 24:01
  joy.
• 24:02
  And
• 24:02
  I
• 24:03
  have
• 24:03
  another
• 24:03
  story
• 24:03
  that's
• 24:04
  in
• 24:04
  the
• 24:04
  works,
• 24:05
  and
• 24:05
  I'm
• 24:05
  getting
• 24:05
  ready
• 24:05
  to
• 24:06
  start
• 24:06
  illustrating
• 24:07
  that
• 24:07
  one.
• 24:08
  But
• 24:08
  I'm
• 24:09
  questioning
• 24:10
  how
• 24:10
  much
• 24:10
  to
• 24:11
  keep
• 24:11
  the.
• 24:11
  How
• 24:12
  much
• 24:12
  to
• 24:12
  reuse
• 24:13
  some
• 24:13
  of
• 24:13
  the
• 24:13
  characters
• 24:14
  in
• 24:15
  the
• 24:15
  same
• 24:16
  setting,
• 24:16
  because
• 24:16
  I
• 24:16
  want
• 24:17
  the
• 24:17
  same
• 24:17
  teacher
• 24:18
  and
• 24:18
  I
• 24:18
  want
• 24:18
  the
• 24:18
  same.
• 24:19
  I
• 24:20
  want
• 24:20
  it
• 24:20
  to
• 24:20
  flow.
• 24:21
  I
• 24:21
  actually
• 24:21
  have
• 24:22
  a
• 24:22
  couple
• 24:22
  different
• 24:22
  books
• 24:24
  in
• 24:24
  my
• 24:24
  head
• 24:25
  that
• 24:25
  I
• 24:25
  have
• 24:25
  worked
• 24:26
  out.
• 24:27
  So
• 24:27
  there's
• 24:27
  gonna
• 24:27
  be
• 24:27
  four
• 24:28
  for
• 24:28
  this
• 24:28
  part.
• 24:29
  Is
• 24:29
  it
• 24:29
  gonna
• 24:30
  be
• 24:30
  a
• 24:30
  book
• 24:30
  series
• 24:31
  with
• 24:31
  Joy
• 24:32
  and
• 24:32
  Sunny?
• 24:33
  Yeah,
• 24:33
  they'll
• 24:33
  be
• 24:34
  all
• 24:34
  with
• 24:34
  Joy
• 24:34
  and
• 24:34
  Sunny.
• 24:35
  And
• 24:35
  it'll
• 24:35
  be
• 24:36
  a
• 24:36
  school
• 24:37
  book
• 24:37
  for.
• 24:38
  I
• 24:38
  want
• 24:39
  to
• 24:39
  see
• 24:39
  it
• 24:39
  for
• 24:39
  teachers
• 24:40
  to
• 24:40
  use.
• 24:41
  It's
• 24:41
  parents
• 24:42
  would
• 24:42
  enjoy
• 24:42
  the
• 24:43
  book
• 24:43
  or
• 24:43
  grandparents.
• 24:44
  I
• 24:44
  have
• 24:44
  some
• 24:45
  grandparents
• 24:45
  buy
• 24:45
  the
• 24:45
  book,
• 24:46
  and
• 24:46
  I'm
• 24:47
  looking
• 24:47
  at
• 24:48
  my
• 24:48
  target
• 24:48
  audience
• 24:49
  being
• 24:49
  preschool
• 24:50
  teachers.
• 24:50
  Okay.
• 24:51
  Helping
• 24:51
  them
• 24:52
  cope
• 24:52
  with
• 24:52
  some
• 24:53
  things
• 24:53
  that.
• 24:54
  In
• 24:54
  the
• 24:54
  book,
• 24:54
  her
• 24:55
  balloon
• 24:55
  pops
• 24:56
  and
• 24:56
  she
• 24:56
  has
• 24:56
  to
• 24:56
  figure
• 24:57
  it
• 24:57
  out.
• 24:57
  And
• 24:58
  my
• 24:58
  son
• 24:59
  actually
• 24:59
  was
• 24:59
  helping
• 25:00
  me
• 25:00
  with
• 25:00
  editing
• 25:01
  it,
• 25:01
  and
• 25:01
  I
• 25:01
  had
• 25:02
  the
• 25:02
  mom
• 25:02
  rush
• 25:02
  in
• 25:04
  and
• 25:04
  my
• 25:04
  son
• 25:04
  was
• 25:05
  like,
• 25:05
  no,
• 25:05
  not
• 25:05
  the
• 25:06
  mom.
• 25:06
  The
• 25:06
  mom
• 25:06
  doesn't
• 25:07
  need
• 25:07
  to
• 25:07
  rescue
• 25:07
  it.
• 25:07
  You've
• 25:08
  already
• 25:08
  introduced
• 25:08
  the
• 25:08
  brother
• 25:09
  as
• 25:09
  a
• 25:09
  character.
• 25:10
  The
• 25:10
  brother
• 25:11
  needs
• 25:11
  to
• 25:11
  come
• 25:11
  in.
• 25:11
  And
• 25:12
  it
• 25:12
  really
• 25:12
  did
• 25:12
  change
• 25:12
  the
• 25:13
  way
• 25:13
  the
• 25:13
  book
• 25:13
  went.
• 25:14
  It's
• 25:14
  nice
• 25:14
  that
• 25:14
  you
• 25:15
  made
• 25:15
  it
• 25:15
  a
• 25:15
  family
• 25:16
  affair.
• 25:17
  Yeah.
• 25:17
  My
• 25:17
  daughter
• 25:18
  is
• 25:18
  also
• 25:18
  a
• 25:18
  preschool
• 25:19
  teacher
• 25:19
  and
• 25:19
  they've
• 25:20
  been
• 25:20
  very
• 25:20
  helpful
• 25:20
  with
• 25:21
  my
• 25:21
  mom.
• 25:22
  On
• 25:22
  my
• 25:23
  website,
• 25:23
  I
• 25:23
  call
• 25:24
  her
• 25:24
  my
• 25:24
  chief
• 25:25
  editor
• 25:26
  because
• 25:26
  I'll
• 25:27
  send
• 25:27
  her
• 25:27
  the
• 25:27
  blog
• 25:28
  posts
• 25:28
  and
• 25:28
  she'll
• 25:29
  read
• 25:29
  them
• 25:29
  and
• 25:29
  help
• 25:29
  me
• 25:31
  clean
• 25:31
  them
• 25:31
  up
• 25:31
  and
• 25:31
  everything.
• 25:32
  So
• 25:32
  I
• 25:32
  do

  good
• 25:36
  team
• 25:36
  of
• 25:37
  people
• 25:37
  in
• 25:38
  my
• 25:38
  life.
• 25:38
  I
• 25:39
  feel
• 25:39
  so
• 25:39
  blessed
• 25:40
  with
• 25:40
  the
• 25:40
  support
• 25:41
  that
• 25:41
  I
• 25:41
  have
• 25:41
  from
• 25:42
  friends.
• 25:42
  My
• 25:43
  friend,
• 25:43
  my
• 25:43
  one
• 25:44
  friend
• 25:44
  last
• 25:44
  weekend
• 25:45

• 25:45

• 25:46
  book
• 25:46

• 25:47
  party
• 25:48
  and
• 25:49
  made
• 25:49
  signs
• 25:50
  and
• 25:50
  earrings
• 25:51
  for
• 25:51
  everybody.
• 25:52
  And
• 25:52
  a
• 25:52
  lot
• 25:53
  of
• 25:54
  parents
• 25:55
  of
• 25:55
  teachers
• 25:56
  that
• 25:56
  I
• 25:56
  have
• 25:56
  taught.
• 25:56
  I
• 25:56
  actually
• 25:57
  had
• 25:57
  a
• 25:57
  little
• 25:58
  girl
• 25:58
  that
• 25:58
  I
• 25:58
  taught
• 25:58
  when
• 25:59
  she
• 25:59
  was.
• 25:59
  She's
• 26:00
  that
• 26:00
  she
• 26:00
  got
• 26:00
  married
• 26:01
  last
• 26:01
  year
• 26:02
  and
• 26:02
  I
• 26:02
  taught
• 26:03
  her
• 26:03
  when
• 26:03
  she
• 26:03
  was
• 26:04
  2
• 26:04
  and
• 26:05
  when
• 26:05
  she
• 26:05
  was
• 26:05
  4,
• 26:05
  I
• 26:06
  moved
• 26:06
  up
• 26:06
  in
• 26:06
  age
• 26:06
  and
• 26:07
  I
• 26:07
  got
• 26:07
  to
• 26:07
  teach
• 26:07
  her
• 26:08
  again.
• 26:08
  And
• 26:08
  I've
• 26:08
  kept
• 26:08
  in
• 26:09
  contact
• 26:09
  with
• 26:09
  them
• 26:09
  all
• 26:10
  and
• 26:10
  they
• 26:10
  live
• 26:11
  in
• 26:11
  Wisconsin.
• 26:11
  And
• 26:11
  the
• 26:12
  mom
• 26:12
  reached
• 26:12
  out
• 26:12
  and
• 26:12
  said
• 26:13
  that
• 26:13
  she
• 26:13
  was
• 26:13
  taking
• 26:13
  the
• 26:14
  book
• 26:14
  to.
• 26:14
  She's
• 26:15
  a
• 26:15
  nurse
• 26:15
  and
• 26:15
  she
• 26:16
  was
• 26:16
  taking
• 26:16
  it
• 26:16
  to
• 26:16
  the
• 26:17
  children's
• 26:17
  hospital
• 26:18
  to
• 26:18
  be
• 26:18
  on
• 26:18
  their
• 26:18
  shelves.
• 26:19
  And
• 26:20
  so
• 26:20
  I
• 26:21
  really
• 26:21
  do
• 26:21
  have
• 26:22
  a
• 26:22
  good
• 26:22
  support
• 26:22
  system
• 26:23
  around
• 26:23
  me
• 26:23
  of
• 26:24
  family
• 26:25
  and
• 26:26
  friends
• 26:26
  that
• 26:26
  have
• 26:27
  just
• 26:27
  been
• 26:28
  so
• 26:28
  amazing
• 26:29
  and
• 26:29
  parents
• 26:30
  of
• 26:30
  kids
• 26:30
  that
• 26:31
  I've
• 26:31
  taught.
• 26:31
  So
• 26:31
  let's
• 26:32
  come
• 26:32
  back
• 26:32
  to.
• 26:33
  You've
• 26:33
  got
• 26:33
  this
• 26:34
  second
• 26:34
  book
• 26:34
  in
• 26:35
  mind.
• 26:35
  So
• 26:35
  I
• 26:35
  think
• 26:35
  you're
• 26:36
  going
• 26:36
  to
• 26:36
  ask
• 26:36
  because
• 26:36
  we
• 26:37
  just
• 26:37
  launched
• 26:37
  our
• 26:37
  second
• 26:38
  book
• 26:38
  around
• 26:39
  the
• 26:39
  same
• 26:39
  time
• 26:39
  you,
• 26:40
  you
• 26:40
  launched
• 26:40
  your
• 26:41
  book.
• 26:41
  And
• 26:42
  are
• 26:42
  you
• 26:43
  going
• 26:43
  to
• 26:43
  again
• 26:44
  just
• 26:44
  do
• 26:44
  the
• 26:44
  Amazon
• 26:45
  product
• 26:46
  code
• 26:46
  number
• 26:47
  or
• 26:47
  are
• 26:47
  you
• 26:47
  thinking
• 26:48
  now
• 26:48
  that
• 26:48
  maybe
• 26:49
  you
• 26:49
  should
• 26:49
  get
• 26:50
  its
• 26:50
  own
• 26:50
  ISBN?
• 26:52
  I
• 26:52
  think
• 26:53
  that
• 26:53
  I'm
• 26:53
  just
• 26:53
  gonna
• 26:54
  keep
• 26:54
  doing
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  Amazon
• 26:55
  route.
• 26:56
  And
• 26:56
  then
• 26:56
  my
• 26:56
  thought
• 26:57
  is
• 26:57
  on
• 26:57
  teachers,
• 26:58
  pay
• 26:58
  teachers.
• 26:58
  Sometimes
• 26:59
  when
• 26:59
  I
• 26:59
  have
• 26:59
  four
• 26:59
  or
• 27:00
  five
• 27:00
  products
• 27:00
  or
• 27:00
  bulletin
• 27:01
  boards
• 27:01
  and
• 27:01
  I
• 27:01
  have
• 27:02
  one
• 27:02
  for
• 27:02
  every
• 27:02
  month,
• 27:02
  then
• 27:03
  I
• 27:03
  bundle
• 27:03
  them
• 27:03
  together
• 27:05
  and
• 27:05
  then
• 27:06
  they're
• 27:06
  a
• 27:06
  little
• 27:06
  bit
• 27:07
  cheaper
• 27:07
  of
• 27:07
  a
• 27:07
  price
• 27:07
  to
• 27:08
  bundle
• 27:08
  them
• 27:08
  together.
• 27:09
  So
• 27:09
  then
• 27:09
  my
• 27:09
  thought
• 27:09
  was
• 27:10
  after
• 27:11
  I
• 27:11
  finish,
• 27:11
  there's
• 27:12
  actually
• 27:12
  four,
• 27:13
  then
• 27:13
  I
• 27:13
  could
• 27:14
  put
• 27:14
  all
• 27:14
  four
• 27:14
  together
• 27:15
  and
• 27:15
  do
• 27:15
  my
• 27:15
  hardback
• 27:16
  that
• 27:16
  way
• 27:17
  and
• 27:17
  have
• 27:17
  a
• 27:18
  hardback
• 27:18
  book
• 27:18
  that's
• 27:19
  all
• 27:19
  four
• 27:20
  stories.
• 27:20
  Oh,
• 27:21
  that's
• 27:21
  a
• 27:21
  great
• 27:22
  idea.
• 27:23
  I
• 27:23
  think
• 27:23
  most
• 27:24
  of
• 27:24
  our
• 27:24
  audience
• 27:24
  knows
• 27:25
  that
• 27:25
  I
• 27:25
  live
• 27:26
  in
• 27:26
  Canada
• 27:27
  and
• 27:27
  the
• 27:28
  One
• 27:28
  thing
• 27:28
  about
• 27:28
  ISBNs
• 27:29
  in
• 27:30
  Canada
• 27:30
  is
• 27:31
  they're
• 27:31
  actually
• 27:31
  free.
• 27:33
  Yes.
• 27:33
  So
• 27:33
  I
• 27:34
  guess
• 27:34
  my
• 27:34
  other
• 27:34
  option
• 27:34
  would
• 27:35
  be
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  move
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  Canada.
• 27:36
  Well,
• 27:36
  come
• 27:36
  on
• 27:36
  up.
• 27:37
  We
• 27:37
  love
• 27:37
  to
• 27:38
  have
• 27:38
  You.
• 27:38
  But
• 27:38
  the
• 27:39
  beautiful
• 27:39
  thing
• 27:39
  about
• 27:40
  it
• 27:40
  is
• 27:40
  that
• 27:41
  knowing
• 27:41
  your
• 27:42
  ingenuity,
• 27:42
  I
• 27:43
  was
• 27:43
  thinking,
• 27:43
  man,
• 27:44
  it'd
• 27:44
  be
• 27:44
  such
• 27:44
  an
• 27:44
  easy
• 27:45
  thing
• 27:45
  for
• 27:45
  you
• 27:45
  to
• 27:45
  do,
• 27:46
  actually,
• 27:47
  once
• 27:47
  you
• 27:47
  do
• 27:47
  it
• 27:48
  once,
• 27:48
  create
• 27:49
  your
• 27:49
  own
• 27:49
  ISBN,
• 27:50
  it's
• 27:51
  such
• 27:51
  an
• 27:51
  easy
• 27:52
  thing
• 27:52
  to
• 27:52
  do,
• 27:52
  to
• 27:52
  carry
• 27:53
  on.
• 27:53
  Yeah.
• 27:54
  Process.
• 27:55
  But
• 27:55
  again,
• 27:55
  and
• 27:56
  I
• 27:56
  know
• 27:56
  that
• 27:56
  you.
• 27:56
  Can
• 27:57
  buy
• 27:57
  10
• 27:58
  for.
• 27:59
  Yeah,
• 27:59
  I
• 27:59
  have
• 27:59
  no
• 27:59
  idea.
• 28:00
  That's
• 28:00
  the
• 28:00
  only
• 28:00
  thing.
• 28:01
  I
• 28:01
  don't
• 28:01
  know
• 28:01
  what
• 28:01
  the
• 28:01
  pricing
• 28:02
  is
• 28:02
  to
• 28:02
  purchase
• 28:03
  an
• 28:03
  ISBN.
• 28:04
  I
• 28:05
  think
• 28:05
  one
• 28:05
  is
• 28:05
  like
• 28:06
  125
• 28:07
  and
• 28:07
  then
• 28:08
  three
• 28:08
  or
• 28:08
  a
• 28:08
  little
• 28:09
  bit
• 28:09
  more,
• 28:09
  but
• 28:09
  then
• 28:09
  you
• 28:09
  can
• 28:09
  get
• 28:10
  10
• 28:10

• 28:10
  just

  a
• 28:11
  little
• 28:11
  bit
• 28:11
  more
• 28:11
  than
• 28:11
  that
• 28:12
  and
• 28:12
  you
• 28:12
  get
• 28:12
  100
• 28:13
  for
• 28:13
  $500
• 28:14
  or.
• 28:14
  And
• 28:14
  I've
• 28:15
  said
• 28:15
  to
• 28:15
  people,
• 28:16
  watch
• 28:17
  how
• 28:17
  many
• 28:17

• 28:20
  It's
• 28:20
  easy
• 28:20
  to
• 28:21
  get
• 28:21
  caught
• 28:21
  up
• 28:21
  in
• 28:22
  the
• 28:22
  bundling
• 28:22
  game.
• 28:23
  And

  oops,

  So

  terrific.

  If

• 29:08
  free
• 29:09
  service.
• 29:09
  Once
• 29:09
  you
• 29:10
  set
• 29:10
  your
• 29:10
  book
• 29:10
  up,
• 29:11
  it's
• 29:12
  free
• 29:12
  to
• 29:12
  go
• 29:12
  into
• 29:13
  all
• 29:13
  those
• 29:13
  marketplaces.
• 29:14
  I'm
• 29:14
  curious,
• 29:16
  so
• 29:17
  you're
• 29:17
  using
• 29:17
  their
• 29:18
  print
• 29:18
  on
• 29:19
  demand
• 29:19
  service.
• 29:20
  Are
• 29:21
  you
• 29:21
  buying
• 29:22
  very
• 29:23
  many
• 29:23
  in
• 29:23
  bulk
• 29:23
  or
• 29:24
  what's
• 29:24
  your
• 29:24
  strategy?
• 29:26
  I've
• 29:26
  been
• 29:26
  a
• 29:27
  little
• 29:27
  bit
• 29:27
  nervous
• 29:27
  about
• 29:28
  how
• 29:28
  I
• 29:28
  bought
• 29:29
  10
• 29:31
  to
• 29:31
  start
• 29:31
  with
• 29:32
  and
• 29:32
  then
• 29:32
  I
• 29:32
  needed
• 29:33
  to
• 29:33
  buy
• 29:34
  instead
• 29:35
  of
• 29:35
  buy
• 29:35
  15
• 29:35
  more.
• 29:36
  I
• 29:36
  guess
• 29:36
  I
• 29:36
  could
• 29:36
  take
• 29:37
  buy
• 29:38
  a
• 29:38
  whole
• 29:38
  bunch,
• 29:38
  but
• 29:38
  I
• 29:39
  also
• 29:39
  have
• 29:39
  a
• 29:39
  hard
• 29:40
  time
• 29:40
  with
• 29:40
  the
• 29:40
  ones
• 29:41
  that
• 29:41
  I
• 29:41
  buy,
• 29:41
  not
• 29:41
  just
• 29:42
  giving
• 29:43
  them
• 29:43
  to
• 29:43
  people
• 29:44
  instead
• 29:44
  of
• 29:44
  selling
• 29:45
  them,
• 29:45
  but.
• 29:45
  Yeah,
• 29:46
  that's
• 29:46
  what
• 29:46
  my
• 29:46
  wife
• 29:47
  says
• 29:47
  to
• 29:47
  me
• 29:48
  every
• 29:49
  time
• 29:49
  I
• 29:49
  give
• 29:50
  one
• 29:50
  away
• 29:51
  for
• 29:51
  free.
• 29:51
  She
• 29:51
  gives
• 29:52
  me
• 29:52
  the
• 29:53
  evil
• 29:54
  eye.
• 29:56
  Yes,
• 29:56
  it's
• 29:57
  also
• 29:57
  her
• 29:57
  money.
• 29:58
  It's
• 29:58
  not
• 29:58
  just
• 29:59
  my
• 29:59
  money.
• 29:59
  Exactly.
• 30:00
  And
• 30:01
  it's
• 30:01
  how
• 30:01
  much
• 30:01
  do
• 30:01
  you
• 30:01
  sell
• 30:02
  them
• 30:02
  for?
• 30:02
  And
• 30:03
  I
• 30:03
  only
• 30:03
  get
• 30:04
  so
• 30:04
  much
• 30:04
  off
• 30:04
  of
• 30:05
  if
• 30:05
  I
• 30:05
  sell
• 30:05
  a
• 30:06
  book,
• 30:06
  but
• 30:06
  people
• 30:06
  are
• 30:07
  spending.
• 30:07
  I
• 30:07
  have
• 30:07
  my
• 30:07
  book
• 30:08
  listed
• 30:08
  for
• 30:08
  1299
• 30:10
  and
• 30:10
  so
• 30:11
  that's
• 30:11
  how
• 30:11
  much
• 30:12
  they're
• 30:12
  spending.
• 30:12
  But
• 30:12
  that's
• 30:12
  not
• 30:13
  how
• 30:13
  much
• 30:13
  you
• 30:13
  get
• 30:14
  when
• 30:14
  you
• 30:14
  sell
• 30:14
  a
• 30:15
  book.
• 30:15
  Correct.
• 30:16
  You
• 30:16
  bet.
• 30:16
  So
• 30:18
  good
• 30:18
  for
• 30:18
  you.
• 30:20
  Yeah,
• 30:20
  it's
• 30:21
  really
• 30:21
  a
• 30:21
  difficult
• 30:22
  thing.
• 30:22
  Have
• 30:23
  you
• 30:23
  reached
• 30:23
  out
• 30:23
  to
• 30:23
  any
• 30:24
  retailers?
• 30:26
  That's
• 30:27
  on
• 30:27
  the
• 30:27
  list
• 30:27
  of
• 30:27
  things
• 30:28
  to
• 30:28
  do
• 30:28
  with
• 30:28
  it
• 30:28
  being
• 30:29
  of
• 30:29
  it's
• 30:29
  a
• 30:30
  kind
• 30:30
  of
• 30:30
  a
• 30:30
  fall
• 30:30
  book
• 30:31
  because
• 30:31
  of
• 30:31
  the
• 30:32
  Macy's
• 30:32
  Day
• 30:32
  balloon.
• 30:33
  You
• 30:33
  can
• 30:33
  host
• 30:34
  the
• 30:34
  balloon
• 30:34
  parade
• 30:35
  in
• 30:35
  your
• 30:35
  class
• 30:35
  anytime
• 30:36
  you
• 30:36
  want.
• 30:37
  But
• 30:37
  it
• 30:37
  is
• 30:37
  a
• 30:38
  little
• 30:38
  bit
• 30:38
  more
• 30:38
  of
• 30:38
  a
• 30:38
  fall
• 30:39
  book.
• 30:39
  I've
• 30:39
  been
• 30:39
  going
• 30:39
  to
• 30:40
  my
• 30:40
  daughter's
• 30:40
  school
• 30:41
  to
• 30:41
  read
• 30:41
  at
• 30:42
  her
• 30:42
  school.
• 30:43
  I
• 30:43
  do
• 30:43
  have
• 30:43
  a
• 30:43
  couple
• 30:44
  places
• 30:44
  lined
• 30:45
  up
• 30:45
  to
• 30:45
  do
• 30:46
  a
• 30:46
  story
• 30:46
  time
• 30:47
  or
• 30:47
  I
• 30:48
  have
• 30:48
  some
• 30:48
  of
• 30:48
  those
• 30:49
  coming
• 30:49
  through
• 30:50
  that
• 30:50
  I'm
• 30:50
  working
• 30:50
  on
• 30:51
  lining
• 30:51
  up.
• 30:52
  And
• 30:53
  then
• 30:53
  also
• 30:54
  one
• 30:54
  of
• 30:54
  my
• 30:55
  parents
• 30:55
  of
• 30:56
  a
• 30:56
  child,
• 30:56
  I
• 30:57
  taught
• 30:58
  both
• 30:58
  of
• 30:58
  her
• 30:58
  children.
• 30:58
  She
• 30:59
  bought
• 30:59
  the
• 30:59
  book
• 30:59
  and
• 30:59
  posted
• 30:59
  a
• 31:00
  picture
• 31:00
  on
• 31:00
  Facebook
• 31:01
  and
• 31:01
  I
• 31:01
  had
• 31:01
  somebody
• 31:02
  reach
• 31:02
  out
• 31:03
  that's
• 31:03
  a
• 31:03
  children's
• 31:04
  book
• 31:04
  author
• 31:04
  in
• 31:05
  the
• 31:05
  area
• 31:05
  and
• 31:06
  he
• 31:06
  was
• 31:06
  trying
• 31:07
  to
• 31:07
  start
• 31:07
  a
• 31:08
  small
• 31:08
  group
• 31:08
  of
• 31:09
  local
• 31:09
  children's
• 31:10
  authors
• 31:10
  up.
• 31:10
  And
• 31:11
  so
• 31:11
  we
• 31:11
  have
• 31:11
  our
• 31:11
  first
• 31:12
  meeting
• 31:12
  tomorrow
• 31:12
  night
• 31:13
  and
• 31:13
  that
• 31:14
  I
• 31:14
  know
• 31:14
  that's
• 31:15
  recommended
• 31:16
  and
• 31:16
  that
• 31:16
  kind
• 31:16
  of
• 31:16
  just
• 31:17
  fell
• 31:17
  in
• 31:17
  my
• 31:17
  lap.
• 31:18
  Good
• 31:18
  for
• 31:18
  you.
• 31:19
  One
• 31:19
  thing
• 31:19
  I
• 31:19
  will
• 31:20
  say
• 31:20
  is
• 31:20
  because
• 31:20
  a
• 31:20
  lot
• 31:21
  of
• 31:21
  people
• 31:21
  are
• 31:21
  probably
• 31:21
  thinking,
• 31:22
  you
• 31:22
  know
• 31:22
  what
• 31:22
  Shannon,
• 31:23
  if
• 31:23
  you
• 31:24
  don't
• 31:24
  have
• 31:24
  an
• 31:24
  ISBN,
• 31:26
  I
• 31:26
  don't
• 31:26
  know
• 31:26
  how
• 31:26
  a
• 31:27
  retail
• 31:27
  store
• 31:27
  will
• 31:28
  take
• 31:28
  your
• 31:28
  book
• 31:28
  in.
• 31:29
  But
• 31:29
  I
• 31:30
  want
• 31:30
  to
• 31:30
  tell
• 31:30
  you
• 31:30
  a
• 31:30
  story
• 31:31
  is
• 31:31
  that
• 31:32
  of
• 31:32
  course,
• 31:33
  I
• 31:33
  mean
• 31:33
  we've
• 31:33
  got
• 31:34
  our
• 31:34
  ISBN
• 31:35
  on
• 31:36
  and
• 31:36
  why
• 31:36
  wouldn't
• 31:37
  I
• 31:37
  if
• 31:37
  it's
• 31:37
  free?
• 31:38
  Yes.
• 31:39
  One
• 31:39
  thing
• 31:40
  I
• 31:40
  found
• 31:40
  out
• 31:41
  is
• 31:41
  that
• 31:42
  we're
• 31:42
  in
• 31:43
  four
• 31:43
  different
• 31:44
  retailers
• 31:45
  with
• 31:45
  our
• 31:45
  books
• 31:46
  and
• 31:46
  they
• 31:46
  all
• 31:46
  make
• 31:47
  their
• 31:47
  own
• 31:47
  product
• 31:48
  codes
• 31:50
  and
• 31:50
  so
• 31:50
  they
• 31:51
  actually
• 31:52
  put
• 31:52
  their
• 31:53
  product
• 31:53
  code
• 31:54
  over
• 31:54
  the
• 31:55
  ISBN.
• 31:56
  So
• 31:56
  the
• 31:56
  ISBN
• 31:57
  for
• 31:58
  most
• 31:58
  retailers
• 31:59
  isn't
• 32:00
  that
• 32:00
  important.
• 32:01
  Unless
• 32:01
  you
• 32:01
  get
• 32:01
  into
• 32:02
  Walmart
• 32:03
  or
• 32:03
  Barnes
• 32:03
  and
• 32:04
  Noble
• 32:04
  or
• 32:04
  something
• 32:04
  like
• 32:05
  that,
• 32:05
  then
• 32:06
  they
• 32:06
  expect
• 32:06
  you
• 32:07
  to
• 32:07
  have
• 32:07
  an
• 32:07
  ISBN.
• 32:08
  But
• 32:08
  if
• 32:09
  you're
• 32:09
  going
• 32:09
  into
• 32:10
  a
• 32:10
  local
• 32:10
  bookstore,
• 32:11
  nine
• 32:12
  times
• 32:12
  out
• 32:12
  of
• 32:12
  10
• 32:13
  I'll
• 32:13
  put
• 32:13
  any
• 32:13
  money
• 32:13
  on
• 32:14
  it.
• 32:14
  They
• 32:14
  do
• 32:14
  their
• 32:15
  own
• 32:16
  product
• 32:16
  code
• 32:16
  number
• 32:17
  and
• 32:17
  they
• 32:17
  put
• 32:17
  their
• 32:18
  own
• 32:18
  price
• 32:19
  tag
• 32:19
  on
• 32:19
  the
• 32:20
  over
• 32:20
  top
• 32:20
  of
• 32:21
  your
• 32:21
  ISBN.
• 32:22
  There
• 32:22
  are
• 32:22
  a
• 32:23
  couple
• 32:23
  places
• 32:23
  around
• 32:23
  here
• 32:24
  that
• 32:24
  I
• 32:24
  have
• 32:24
  been
• 32:25
  thinking
• 32:25
  about
• 32:26
  stopping
• 32:27
  by
• 32:28
  and
• 32:28
  seeing
• 32:28
  and
• 32:29
  I
• 32:29
  know
• 32:29
  that
• 32:29
  I
• 32:29
  could
• 32:30
  buy
• 32:30
  a
• 32:31
  pack
• 32:31
  of
• 32:32
  them
• 32:32
  and
• 32:32
  then
• 32:33
  supply
• 32:33
  them
• 32:33
  at
• 32:34
  the
• 32:34
  author,
• 32:34
  the
• 32:35
  author
• 32:35
  price
• 32:35
  that
• 32:35
  we
• 32:36
  get
• 32:36
  the
• 32:36
  books
• 32:36
  for
• 32:37
  and
• 32:37
  supply
• 32:37
  them
• 32:38
  and
• 32:38
  when
• 32:38
  they
• 32:38
  run
• 32:38
  out
• 32:38
  I
• 32:39
  can
• 32:39
  order
• 32:39
  more.
• 32:40
  That's
• 32:40
  in
• 32:40
  my
• 32:41
  long
• 32:41
  term
• 32:42
  plans.
• 32:42
  Okay.
• 32:43
  Until
• 32:44
  you
• 32:44
  mentioned
• 32:44
  the
• 32:44
  Macy's
• 32:45
  parade
• 32:46
  which
• 32:46
  I've
• 32:46
  heard
• 32:47
  of.
• 32:47
  Yes.
• 32:48
  I
• 32:48
  never
• 32:50
  for
• 32:50
  one
• 32:50
  moment
• 32:51
  equated
• 32:53
  for
• 32:54
  now
• 32:54
  living
• 32:54
  in
• 32:54
  Canada,
• 32:55
  I
• 32:55
  just
• 32:55
  thought
• 32:56
  it
• 32:56
  was
• 32:56
  universal.
• 32:57
  More
• 32:57
  of
• 32:58
  a.
• 32:59
  From
• 32:59
  September
• 33:00
  to
• 33:01
  whatever
• 33:01
  your
• 33:01
  school
• 33:02
  year
• 33:02
  is,
• 33:03
  more
• 33:03
  of
• 33:03
  that
• 33:03
  activity.
• 33:04
  I
• 33:04
  never
• 33:05
  thought
• 33:05
  of
• 33:05
  the
• 33:06
  specifically
• 33:07
  a
• 33:07
  fall
• 33:07
  idea.
• 33:09
  I'm
• 33:09
  just
• 33:09
  saying
• 33:09
  to
• 33:10
  you,
• 33:10
  I
• 33:10
  think
• 33:10
  that
• 33:11
  the
• 33:11
  concept
• 33:12
  of
• 33:12
  having
• 33:12
  a
• 33:12
  Balloon
• 33:13
  parade.
• 33:14
  You
• 33:14
  could
• 33:14
  do
• 33:14
  it
• 33:15
  whenever.
• 33:15
  And
• 33:16
  you
• 33:16
  could
• 33:16
  actually
• 33:17
  take
• 33:17
  it
• 33:17
  one
• 33:18
  step
• 33:18
  further
• 33:18
  if
• 33:18
  you're
• 33:19
  thinking
• 33:19
  about,
• 33:20
  oh,
• 33:20
  it's
• 33:20
  seasons,
• 33:21
  then
• 33:21
  you
• 33:21
  could
• 33:22
  have
• 33:22
  a
• 33:22
  balloon
• 33:22
  parade
• 33:23
  for
• 33:24
  Thanksgiving,
• 33:24
  and
• 33:24
  you
• 33:25
  could
• 33:25
  have
• 33:25
  a
• 33:25
  balloon
• 33:25
  parade
• 33:26
  for
• 33:26
  Christmas,
• 33:27
  and
• 33:27
  you
• 33:27
  can
• 33:27
  have
• 33:27
  a
• 33:28
  balloon
• 33:28
  parade
• 33:28
  for
• 33:29
  Valentine's.
• 33:30
  You
• 33:30
  see
• 33:30
  where
• 33:30
  I'm
• 33:30
  going
• 33:30
  with
• 33:31
  this?
• 33:31
  Yes.
• 33:31
  And
• 33:32
  that's
• 33:32
  the
• 33:32
  lines
• 33:33
  that
• 33:33
  I'm
• 33:33
  on.
• 33:33
  I
• 33:33
  don't
• 33:34
  want
• 33:34
  to
• 33:34
  give
• 33:34
  too
• 33:34
  much
• 33:34
  away
• 33:34
  of
• 33:35
  the
• 33:35
  next
• 33:36
  book,
• 33:36
  but
• 33:36
  the
• 33:36
  teacher
• 33:37
  across
• 33:37
  the
• 33:37
  hall,
• 33:38
  when
• 33:38
  I
• 33:38
  brought
• 33:38
  the
• 33:38
  balloon
• 33:39
  parade
• 33:39
  to
• 33:39
  the
• 33:39
  school
• 33:40
  that
• 33:40
  I'm
• 33:40
  at,
• 33:41
  she
• 33:41
  brought
• 33:41
  a
• 33:41
  different
• 33:42
  type
• 33:42
  of
• 33:43
  event
• 33:44
  to
• 33:44
  the
• 33:44
  school
• 33:45
  that's
• 33:45
  more
• 33:45
  of
• 33:46
  a
• 33:46
  spring.
• 33:47
  It
• 33:47
  goes
• 33:47
  along
• 33:48
  with
• 33:48
  St.
• 33:48
  Patty's
• 33:49
  Day.
• 33:49
  Okay.
• 33:50
  And
• 33:50
  the
• 33:50
  kids
• 33:51
  decorate
• 33:51
  potatoes.
• 33:52
  And
• 33:52
  my
• 33:53
  dad
• 33:53
  was
• 33:53
  born
• 33:53
  on
• 33:54
  St.
• 33:54
  Patty's
• 33:54
  Day,
• 33:54
  and
• 33:55
  even
• 33:55
  though
• 33:55
  we're
• 33:55
  not
• 33:55
  Irish,
• 33:56
  he
• 33:57
  made
• 33:57
  sure
• 33:57
  that
• 33:57
  people
• 33:58
  always
• 33:58
  thought
• 33:58
  he
• 33:58
  was
• 33:58
  Irish.
• 34:00
  Yes.
• 34:00
  And
• 34:01
  so
• 34:01
  she
• 34:01
  brought
• 34:02
  a
• 34:02
  potato
• 34:02
  pageant
• 34:03
  to
• 34:03
  the
• 34:03
  school.
• 34:04
  And
• 34:04
  so
• 34:04
  the
• 34:04
  next
• 34:04
  book
• 34:05
  will
• 34:05
  be
• 34:05
  about
• 34:05
  a
• 34:05
  potato
• 34:06
  pageant.
• 34:07
  Oh,
• 34:07
  very
• 34:07
  neat.
• 34:07
  Very
• 34:08
  neat.
• 34:09
  Let's
• 34:09
  talk
• 34:10
  a
• 34:10
  little
• 34:10
  bit
• 34:10
  more
• 34:10
  about
• 34:11
  your
• 34:11
  website,
• 34:11
  because
• 34:12
  I
• 34:12
  noticed
• 34:13
  you
• 34:13
  have
• 34:13
  a
• 34:13
  beautiful
• 34:13
  website.
• 34:14
  And
• 34:14
  when
• 34:14
  I
• 34:15
  was
• 34:15
  looking
• 34:15
  at
• 34:16
  it,
• 34:16
  I'm
• 34:16
  going
• 34:17
  to
• 34:17
  guess
• 34:17
  that
• 34:17
  the
• 34:18
  birth
• 34:18
  of
• 34:18
  your
• 34:19
  website
• 34:19
  was
• 34:19
  around
• 34:20
  the
• 34:20
  middle
• 34:21
  of
• 34:21
  September
• 34:21
  of
• 34:21
  2020.
• 34:24
  Yeah,
• 34:24
  I
• 34:24
  think
• 34:25
  it
• 34:25
  was
• 34:25
  about
• 34:25
  then.
• 34:27
  Ask
• 34:27
  me
• 34:28
  why
• 34:28
  I
• 34:28
  said
• 34:28
  that.
• 34:31
  Is
• 34:31
  that
• 34:31
  when
• 34:31
  I
• 34:31
  wrote
• 34:32
  my
• 34:32
  first.
• 34:33
  September
• 34:33
  17,
• 34:35
  2020,
• 34:36
  you
• 34:37
  were
• 34:37
  pretty
• 34:37
  rapid
• 34:38
  fire
• 34:38
  with
• 34:38
  your
• 34:38
  blog
• 34:39
  post
• 34:39
  for
• 34:39
  a
• 34:40
  while.
• 34:41
  So.
• 34:41
  Yeah.
• 34:41
  You've
• 34:42
  now
• 34:42
  settled.
• 34:43
  Have
• 34:43
  you
• 34:43
  settled
• 34:43
  into
• 34:43
  a
• 34:44
  pattern?
• 34:45
  No.
• 34:46
  Okay.
• 34:48
  So
• 34:48
  it's
• 34:48
  like
• 34:49
  a
• 34:49
  box
• 34:49
  of
• 34:49
  chocolates.
• 34:50
  We
• 34:50
  just
• 34:50
  never
• 34:50
  know
• 34:51
  when
• 34:51
  we're
• 34:51
  going
• 34:51
  to
• 34:51
  get
• 34:51
  it.
• 34:52
  Yes.
• 34:56
  Yeah.
• 34:56
  Still
• 34:56
  being
• 34:57
  in
• 34:57
  the
• 34:57
  classroom
• 34:58
  and
• 34:59
  that
• 35:00
  now
• 35:00
  it's
• 35:01
  more.
• 35:01
  When
• 35:01
  I
• 35:02
  have
• 35:02
  a
• 35:02
  new
• 35:02
  product
• 35:03
  line,
• 35:04
  then
• 35:04
  I
• 35:04
  say,
• 35:04
  oh,
• 35:05
  I
• 35:05
  should
• 35:05
  write
• 35:05
  a
• 35:05
  blog
• 35:06
  post
• 35:06
  about
• 35:06
  this
• 35:06
  product
• 35:07
  line.
• 35:08
  And
• 35:08
  then
• 35:08
  I
• 35:08
  made
• 35:08
  a
• 35:09
  whole
• 35:09
  separate
• 35:09
  page
• 35:10
  for
• 35:10
  the
• 35:11
  book
• 35:11
  section.
• 35:12
  It's
• 35:12
  a
• 35:12
  whole
• 35:13
  different
• 35:13
  top
• 35:14
  part.
• 35:14
  Okay.
• 35:15
  I
• 35:15
  actually
• 35:16
  have
• 35:16
  a
• 35:16
  blog
• 35:17
  on
• 35:17
  my
• 35:18
  website
• 35:18
  also,
• 35:18
  and
• 35:19
  I
• 35:19
  was
• 35:19
  pretty
• 35:19
  religious
• 35:20
  about
• 35:20
  it.
• 35:21
  I
• 35:21
  started
• 35:22
  trying
• 35:22
  to
• 35:22
  figure
• 35:22
  out
• 35:23
  this
• 35:23
  whole
• 35:23
  social
• 35:24
  media
• 35:24
  thing
• 35:25
  and
• 35:26
  where
• 35:26
  best
• 35:27
  to
• 35:27
  put
• 35:28
  more
• 35:29
  of
• 35:29
  a
• 35:29
  blog
• 35:29
  post.
• 35:30
  My
• 35:30
  background
• 35:31
  is
• 35:31
  a
• 35:31
  little
• 35:31
  different
• 35:31
  than
• 35:31
  yours,
• 35:32
  but
• 35:32
  the
• 35:32
  teaching
• 35:33
  background.
• 35:33
  And
• 35:33
  I
• 35:34
  was
• 35:34
  thinking,
• 35:34
  how
• 35:34
  do
• 35:35
  I
• 35:35
  reach
• 35:36
  educators,
• 35:37
  teachers
• 35:37
  and
• 35:38
  principals?
• 35:39
  And
• 35:40
  the
• 35:40
  nice
• 35:40
  thing
• 35:40
  about
• 35:41
  it,
• 35:41
  if
• 35:41
  you
• 35:41
  go
• 35:41
  on
• 35:41
  LinkedIn,
• 35:43
  that's
• 35:43
  where
• 35:43
  you're
• 35:44
  finding
• 35:44
  these
• 35:45
  groups
• 35:45
  that
• 35:45
  possibly
• 35:46
  might
• 35:46
  support
• 35:47
  you
• 35:47
  and
• 35:48
  your
• 35:48
  books
• 35:49
  versus
• 35:49
  and
• 35:50
  I
• 35:50
  don't
• 35:50
  want
• 35:50
  to
• 35:50
  take
• 35:50
  away
• 35:51
  anything
• 35:51
  from
• 35:52
  the
• 35:52
  groups
• 35:53
  that
• 35:53
  I
• 35:53
  belong
• 35:53
  to
• 35:54
  that
• 35:54
  are
• 35:55
  children's
• 35:55
  book
• 35:56
  authors,
• 35:56
  but
• 35:56
  it's
• 35:57
  children's
• 35:57
  book
• 35:57
  authors
• 35:58
  speaking
• 35:58
  to
• 35:59
  children's
• 35:59
  book
• 35:59
  authors.
• 36:00
  You
• 36:00
  know
• 36:00
  what
• 36:00
  you
• 36:00
  can
• 36:00
  only
• 36:01
  support
• 36:01
  each
• 36:01
  other
• 36:02
  so
• 36:02
  much,
• 36:02
  and
• 36:03
  you've
• 36:03
  got
• 36:03
  to
• 36:03
  find
• 36:03
  some
• 36:04
  readers,
• 36:04
  like
• 36:05
  a
• 36:05
  bigger
• 36:05
  audience
• 36:06
  so
• 36:06
  you
• 36:06
  can
• 36:07
  sell
• 36:07
  your
• 36:07
  books.
• 36:08
  And
• 36:08
  that's
• 36:08
  why
• 36:09
  I
• 36:09
  chose
• 36:09
  to
• 36:09
  post
• 36:10
  on
• 36:10
  LinkedIn.
• 36:10
  So
• 36:11
  I've
• 36:11
  moved
• 36:11
  away
• 36:11
  from
• 36:12
  my
• 36:12
  blogs,
• 36:12
  but
• 36:12
  I'm
• 36:13
  thinking
• 36:13
  if
• 36:14
  I'm
• 36:14
  already
• 36:14
  writing
• 36:14
  the
• 36:15
  blog
• 36:15
  for
• 36:15
  LinkedIn,
• 36:17
  I
• 36:17
  should
• 36:17
  be
• 36:18
  able
• 36:18
  to
• 36:18
  just
• 36:19
  pretty
• 36:19
  well
• 36:19
  put
• 36:19
  it
• 36:20
  back
• 36:20
  into
• 36:20
  my
• 36:21
  own
• 36:21
  blog.
• 36:22
  If
• 36:22
  only
• 36:22
  we
• 36:23
  could
• 36:23
  do
• 36:23
  all
• 36:23
  the
• 36:23
  things
• 36:23
  all
• 36:24
  the
• 36:24
  time
• 36:24
  and.
• 36:24
  Exactly.
• 36:25
  I
• 36:25
  think
• 36:25
  you
• 36:26
  can.
• 36:26
  I
• 36:26
  don't
• 36:26
  think
• 36:27
  I
• 36:27
  can,
• 36:27
  but
• 36:27
  I
• 36:27
  noticed
• 36:28
  you
• 36:28
  have
• 36:28
  that
• 36:28
  skill
• 36:29
  set.
• 36:30
  I
• 36:30
  have
• 36:30
  a
• 36:31
  hard
• 36:31
  time
• 36:31
  marketing
• 36:32
  my
• 36:32
  products
• 36:33
  a
• 36:33
  lot
• 36:33
  of
• 36:33
  on
• 36:34
  Instagram.
• 36:34
  The
• 36:34
  other
• 36:35
  teachers
• 36:35
  that
• 36:35
  I
• 36:35
  teach
• 36:36
  with,
• 36:36
  there's
• 36:37
  four
• 36:37
  of
• 36:37
  us
• 36:37
  where
• 36:37
  actually
• 36:38
  we
• 36:38
  hang
• 36:39
  out
• 36:39
  a
• 36:39
  lot.
• 36:39
  And
• 36:40
  we're
• 36:40
  called
• 36:40
  the
• 36:40
  taste
• 36:41
  buds
• 36:41
  because
• 36:41
  we
• 36:42
  like
• 36:42
  to
• 36:42
  eat
• 36:42
  together.
• 36:43
  We
• 36:44
  will
• 36:44
  go
• 36:44
  out
• 36:44
  to
• 36:44
  eat
• 36:45
  with
• 36:45
  a
• 36:45
  taste
• 36:45
  bud.
• 36:46
  And
• 36:46
  they're
• 36:46
  actually.
• 36:47
  The
• 36:47
  little
• 36:47
  characters
• 36:48
  in
• 36:48
  the
• 36:48
  book
• 36:48
  are
• 36:49
  named
• 36:49
  after
• 36:49
  them.
• 36:50
  They're.
• 36:50
  The
• 36:51
  three
• 36:51
  other
• 36:51
  girls
• 36:52
  are
• 36:53
  my
• 36:53
  friends
• 36:53
  that
• 36:53
  are.
• 36:55
  We
• 36:55
  do
• 36:55
  sometimes
• 36:56
  do
• 36:57
  Instagram
• 36:57
  videos
• 36:58
  where
• 36:58
  we.
• 36:59
  We
• 36:59
  were
• 37:00
  ghosts
• 37:00
  last
• 37:00
  year
• 37:01
  and
• 37:01
  we
• 37:01
  walked
• 37:01
  all
• 37:02
  around
• 37:02
  the
• 37:02
  school
• 37:03
  with
• 37:03
  our
• 37:04
  sheets
• 37:04
  on
• 37:04
  our
• 37:04
  head
• 37:05
  and
• 37:05
  so
• 37:05
  we'll
• 37:05
  do
• 37:06
  silly
• 37:06
  stuff.
• 37:06
  But
• 37:06
  then
• 37:07
  when
• 37:07
  it
• 37:07
  comes
• 37:07
  to
• 37:07
  promoting
• 37:08
  things,
• 37:08
  I'm
• 37:09
  not
• 37:09
  as
• 37:10
  good.
• 37:11
  And
• 37:11
  it's
• 37:11
  interesting
• 37:12
  you
• 37:12
  should
• 37:12
  say
• 37:12
  that
• 37:12
  because
• 37:13
  on
• 37:14
  episode
• 37:14
  48,
• 37:15
  I
• 37:15
  had
• 37:15
  a
• 37:15
  guest
• 37:16
  on
• 37:16
  Lori
• 37:16
  Orlinsky,
• 37:17
  and
• 37:17
  she
• 37:17
  talked
• 37:18
  about
• 37:18
  earned
• 37:18
  media.
• 37:19
  And
• 37:20
  with
• 37:20
  your
• 37:20
  personality,
• 37:21
  Shannon,
• 37:22
  you
• 37:22
  know
• 37:22
  what?
• 37:23
  I
• 37:23
  don't
• 37:23
  know
• 37:24
  if
• 37:24
  there's
• 37:25
  a
• 37:25
  local
• 37:26
  newspaper
• 37:27
  or
• 37:27
  local
• 37:28
  radio
• 37:28
  station
• 37:29
  or
• 37:30
  TV
• 37:30
  station
• 37:31
  with
• 37:31
  your
• 37:31
  personality.
• 37:32
  They're
• 37:32
  always
• 37:33
  looking
• 37:33
  for
• 37:33
  human
• 37:33
  interest
• 37:34
  stories.
• 37:35
  You
• 37:36
  should
• 37:36
  be
• 37:37
  reaching
• 37:37
  out.
• 37:39
  I
• 37:39
  will
• 37:39
  put
• 37:40
  that
• 37:40
  in
• 37:40
  my
• 37:40
  business
• 37:40
  plan.
• 37:42
  When
• 37:42
  we
• 37:42
  launched
• 37:42
  our
• 37:43
  first
• 37:43
  book,
• 37:43
  I
• 37:44
  actually.
• 37:44
  The
• 37:44
  Adventures
• 37:45
  of
• 37:45
  Caboose
• 37:45
  the
• 37:45
  Rocky
• 37:46
  Mountain
• 37:46
  Bear.
• 37:46
  I
• 37:47
  actually
• 37:48
  got
• 37:48
  a
• 37:48
  hold
• 37:49
  of
• 37:49
  the
• 37:49
  local
• 37:49
  newspaper
• 37:50
  and
• 37:52
  they
• 37:52
  loved
• 37:53
  it.
• 37:53
  I
• 37:53
  was
• 37:54
  blown
• 37:54
  away.
• 37:55
  And
• 37:55
  because
• 37:55
  of
• 37:55
  that,
• 37:56
  we
• 37:56
  got
• 37:56
  three
• 37:57
  quarters
• 37:57
  of
• 37:57
  a
• 37:57
  page
• 37:58
  with
• 37:58
  my
• 37:58
  picture
• 37:59
  and
• 37:59
  the
• 37:59
  book
• 37:59
  and
• 38:00
  caboose.
• 38:00
  Oh,
• 38:00
  wow.
• 38:01
  I
• 38:01
  thought,
• 38:01
  yeah.
• 38:02
  And
• 38:03
  at
• 38:03
  that
• 38:03
  time,
• 38:04
  I
• 38:04
  didn't
• 38:04
  realize
• 38:05
  it
• 38:05
  was
• 38:05
  called
• 38:05
  earned
• 38:06
  media.
• 38:06
  But
• 38:07
  it's
• 38:07
  all
• 38:07
  about
• 38:07
  just
• 38:08
  asking
• 38:09
  if
• 38:09
  you
• 38:09
  get
• 38:09
  a
• 38:09
  chance.
• 38:10
  You
• 38:10
  should
• 38:10
  do
• 38:10
  that
• 38:10
  because
• 38:11
  you
• 38:11
  got
• 38:11
  a
• 38:11
  cute
• 38:12
  book.
• 38:12
  Thank
• 38:13
  you.
• 38:13
  They're
• 38:13
  always
• 38:13
  looking
• 38:14
  for
• 38:14
  human
• 38:14
  interest
• 38:15
  stories.
• 38:16
  So
• 38:16
  you've
• 38:16
  got
• 38:16
  a
• 38:16
  great
• 38:17
  human
• 38:17
  interest
• 38:17
  story.
• 38:19
  Motivation.
• 38:20
  I
• 38:20
  want
• 38:20
  to
• 38:20
  talk
• 38:20
  to
• 38:20
  you
• 38:20
  a
• 38:21
  little
• 38:21
  bit
• 38:21
  about
• 38:21
  motivation.
• 38:22
  Was
• 38:22
  there
• 38:22
  a
• 38:22
  specific
• 38:23
  person
• 38:24
  or
• 38:24
  event
• 38:25
  that
• 38:25
  motivated
• 38:26
  you?
• 38:26
  After
• 38:27
  four
• 38:27
  years,
• 38:28
  you
• 38:28
  got
• 38:28
  your
• 38:29
  website
• 38:29
  going.
• 38:29
  All
• 38:30
  of
• 38:30
  a
• 38:30
  sudden,
• 38:31
  boom.
• 38:32
  Now
• 38:32
  you've
• 38:32
  got
• 38:32
  this
• 38:33
  children's
• 38:33
  book
• 38:34
  tab
• 38:34
  on
• 38:34
  your
• 38:34
  website.
• 38:35
  Who
• 38:36
  motivated
• 38:36
  you
• 38:36
  or
• 38:37
  what
• 38:37
  event
• 38:37
  motivated
• 38:38
  you?
• 38:38
  I
• 38:39
  think
• 38:39
  that
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  mom
• 38:40
  last
• 38:40
  year,
• 38:40
  I
• 38:41
  Actually
• 38:41
  gave
• 38:41
  them
• 38:42
  a
• 38:42
  signed
• 38:42
  copy
• 38:42
  because
• 38:43
  I
• 38:43
  have
• 38:43
  the
• 38:44
  daughter
• 38:44
  in
• 38:44
  my
• 38:44
  class
• 38:44
  this
• 38:45
  year
• 38:45
  when
• 38:45
  his
• 38:46
  balloon
• 38:46
  popped.
• 38:47
  It
• 38:47
  was
• 38:47
  trying
• 38:47
  to
• 38:47
  help
• 38:48
  kids
• 38:48
  deal
• 38:48
  with
• 38:49
  catastrophes
• 38:50
  that
• 38:50
  could
• 38:51
  come
• 38:51
  up
• 38:52
  that
• 38:52
  just
• 38:53
  really
• 38:53
  can
• 38:54
  set
• 38:54
  a
• 38:54
  child's
• 38:55
  world.
• 38:56
  And
• 38:56
  so
• 38:56
  the
• 38:57
  children
• 38:57
  in
• 38:57
  my
• 38:57
  class
• 38:58
  really
• 38:58
  do
• 38:59
  motivate
• 38:59
  me
• 38:59
  to
• 38:59
  do
• 39:00
  those
• 39:00
  kind
• 39:00
  of
• 39:00
  things.
• 39:01
  I
• 39:01
  did
• 39:01
  start
• 39:03
  this
• 39:03
  product
• 39:03
  just
• 39:04
  last
• 39:04
  year,
• 39:05
  but
• 39:05
  I
• 39:05
  actually
• 39:05
  want
• 39:06
  to
• 39:06
  show
• 39:06
  you
• 39:07
  when
• 39:07
  my
• 39:07
  children,
• 39:08
  they
• 39:08
  are
• 39:09
  28
• 39:09
  and
• 39:09
  29
• 39:10
  years
• 39:10
  old
• 39:10
  and
• 39:11
  when
• 39:11
  they
• 39:11
  were
• 39:11
  little
• 39:11
  kids,
• 39:12
  I
• 39:12
  actually
• 39:13
  went.
• 39:13
  This
• 39:14
  was
• 39:14
  way
• 39:14
  before
• 39:15
  you
• 39:16
  could
• 39:16
  order
• 39:16
  stuff
• 39:16
  off
• 39:17
  of
• 39:17
  Amazon
• 39:17
  or
• 39:18
  things
• 39:18
  were
• 39:18
  so
• 39:18
  at
• 39:18
  your
• 39:19
  fingertips.
• 39:19
  I
• 39:19
  went
• 39:20
  to
• 39:20
  the
• 39:20
  art
• 39:20
  store
• 39:21
  and
• 39:21
  I
• 39:21
  bought
• 39:21
  a
• 39:22
  blank
• 39:23
  book
• 39:24
  and
• 39:25
  it's
• 39:26
  blank
• 39:26
  pages.
• 39:26
  And
• 39:27
  I
• 39:27
  wrote
• 39:27
  my
• 39:27
  children
• 39:28
  a
• 39:28
  book.
• 39:29
  I
• 39:30
  drew
• 39:30
  all
• 39:30
  the
• 39:30
  pictures
• 39:31
  and
• 39:31
  everything.
• 39:31
  So
• 39:32
  30
• 39:32
  years
• 39:32
  ago,
• 39:33
  25
• 39:33
  years
• 39:33
  ago,
• 39:34
  I
• 39:34
  thought
• 39:34
  of
• 39:34
  doing
• 39:35
  this
• 39:35
  and
• 39:36
  I
• 39:36
  just
• 39:36
  never.
• 39:37
  Back
• 39:37
  then,
• 39:37
  you
• 39:37
  couldn't
• 39:38
  just
• 39:38
  list
• 39:38
  it
• 39:38
  on
• 39:38
  Amazon
• 39:39
  and
• 39:39
  have
• 39:40
  it
• 39:40
  sell.
• 39:40
  You
• 39:40
  did
• 39:41
  have
• 39:41
  to
• 39:41
  go
• 39:41
  the
• 39:41
  traditional
• 39:42
  way
• 39:42
  of
• 39:42
  publishing.
• 39:43
  It's
• 39:43
  always
• 39:43
  been
• 39:44
  in
• 39:44
  my
• 39:44
  head,
• 39:44
  but
• 39:44
  I
• 39:45
  don't
• 39:45
  feel
• 39:45
  like
• 39:45
  a
• 39:46
  children's
• 39:46
  book
• 39:46
  writer
• 39:48
  because
• 39:48
  I
• 39:49
  see
• 39:49
  the
• 39:49
  whole
• 39:50
  little
• 39:51
  creative
• 39:52
  almost
• 39:52
  like
• 39:53
  a
• 39:53
  little
• 39:53
  movie
• 39:53
  playing
• 39:53
  out
• 39:54
  that
• 39:54
  I
• 39:54
  need
• 39:54
  to
• 39:55
  get
• 39:55
  out
• 39:55
  there.
• 39:55
  Yes.
• 39:56
  And
• 39:56
  so
• 39:57
  writing
• 39:57
  it
• 39:57
  is
• 39:58
  just
• 39:58
  a
• 39:58
  little
• 39:58
  part
• 39:59
  of
• 39:59
  it
• 39:59
  for
• 39:59
  me,
• 39:59
  of
• 40:00
  get
• 40:00
  it.
• 40:00
  I
• 40:00
  had
• 40:01
  to
• 40:01
  write
• 40:01
  the
• 40:01
  story
• 40:02
  to
• 40:02
  get
• 40:02
  the
• 40:03
  book
• 40:03
  out.
• 40:04
  My
• 40:04
  children
• 40:05
  motivate
• 40:05
  me.
• 40:06
  My
• 40:06
  family,
• 40:07
  they
• 40:07
  motivate
• 40:08
  me.
• 40:08
  I
• 40:08
  dedicated
• 40:09
  this
• 40:09
  book
• 40:09
  to
• 40:09
  my
• 40:09
  two
• 40:10
  kids
• 40:10
  because
• 40:10
  they.
• 40:11
  They
• 40:12
  mean
• 40:12
  a
• 40:12
  lot
• 40:12
  to
• 40:12
  me
• 40:12
  and
• 40:13
  my
• 40:13
  husband
• 40:13
  and
• 40:14
  everything.
• 40:14
  One
• 40:15
  of
• 40:15
  the
• 40:15
  things
• 40:15
  that
• 40:15
  ever
• 40:15
  happened
• 40:16
  was
• 40:16
  my
• 40:17
  mom
• 40:17
  and
• 40:17
  dad
• 40:17
  are
• 40:18
  no
• 40:18
  longer
• 40:18
  with
• 40:18
  us.
• 40:18
  But
• 40:19
  when
• 40:19
  my
• 40:20
  first
• 40:21
  granddaughter
• 40:21
  was
• 40:22
  born,
• 40:22
  so
• 40:22
  that
• 40:23
  would
• 40:23
  be
• 40:23
  their
• 40:23
  first
• 40:24
  great
• 40:24
  grandchild,
• 40:26
  they
• 40:26
  decided
• 40:27
  to
• 40:27
  purchase
• 40:28
  a
• 40:28
  book
• 40:28
  that
• 40:28
  you
• 40:29
  could
• 40:29
  actually
• 40:30
  record
• 40:30
  yourself
• 40:31
  reading
• 40:32
  the
• 40:32
  book.
• 40:33
  Okay.
• 40:34
  And
• 40:34
  my
• 40:34
  granddaughter
• 40:35
  still
• 40:35
  has
• 40:36
  that
• 40:36
  book.
• 40:37
  And
• 40:37
  really,
• 40:38
  when
• 40:38
  I
• 40:38
  look
• 40:38
  at
• 40:39
  it,
• 40:39
  that's
• 40:39
  one
• 40:40
  of
• 40:40
  the
• 40:40
  few
• 40:40
  things
• 40:40
  left
• 40:41
  that
• 40:41
  we
• 40:41
  have
• 40:41
  my
• 40:42
  mom
• 40:42
  and
• 40:42
  dad's
• 40:42
  voice
• 40:44
  recorded
• 40:44
  and
• 40:45
  still
• 40:46
  in
• 40:46
  a
• 40:46
  meaningful
• 40:47
  manner.
• 40:47
  I'm
• 40:47
  getting
• 40:48
  ready
• 40:48
  to
• 40:48
  have
• 40:48
  a
• 40:49
  big
• 40:49
  birthday
• 40:50
  next
• 40:50
  year
• 40:50
  in
• 40:51
  the
• 40:51
  winter.
• 40:52
  I'm
• 40:52
  going
• 40:52
  to
• 40:52
  hit
• 40:52
  the
• 40:52
  big
• 40:53
  five
• 40:53
  zero.
• 40:54
  And
• 40:54
  you
• 40:54
  do,
• 40:54
  when
• 40:54
  you
• 40:55
  get
• 40:55
  into
• 40:55
  that,
• 40:56
  it's.
• 40:56
  What
• 40:56
  am
• 40:56
  I
• 40:57
  leaving
• 40:57
  behind
• 40:57
  as
• 40:58
  my
• 40:58
  legacy?
• 40:58
  I.
• 40:59
  When
• 40:59
  my
• 41:00
  father
• 41:00
  passed
• 41:00
  away,
• 41:00
  it
• 41:01
  was
• 41:01
  like
• 41:01
  a
• 41:01
  book
• 41:02
  disappeared.
• 41:02
  All
• 41:03
  of
• 41:03
  his
• 41:03
  stories.
• 41:04
  And
• 41:04
  you
• 41:05
  can't
• 41:05
  go
• 41:05
  back
• 41:05
  and
• 41:05
  get
• 41:06
  that
• 41:06
  information
• 41:06
  again.
• 41:07
  To
• 41:07
  me,
• 41:07
  this
• 41:08
  is
• 41:08
  a
• 41:08
  way
• 41:08
  that
• 41:08
  I
• 41:09
  can
• 41:09
  leave
• 41:09
  a
• 41:09
  part
• 41:09
  of
• 41:10
  my
• 41:10
  heart
• 41:10
  and
• 41:10
  soul
• 41:11
  out
• 41:11
  there
• 41:11
  for
• 41:12
  future
• 41:13
  grandchildren.
• 41:13
  Well,
• 41:14
  it's
• 41:14
  nice
• 41:14
  that
• 41:15
  your.
• 41:16
  Your
• 41:16
  son
• 41:16
  and
• 41:16
  daughter
• 41:17
  have
• 41:17
  been
• 41:18
  involved.
• 41:18
  And
• 41:18
  you
• 41:19
  know
• 41:19
  what?
• 41:19
  For
• 41:19
  me,
• 41:19
  as
• 41:20
  you've
• 41:20
  heard,
• 41:20
  it's
• 41:21
  my
• 41:21
  five
• 41:21
  grandchildren
• 41:22
  and
• 41:23
  We've
• 41:23
  done
• 41:24
  half
• 41:24
  of
• 41:24
  our
• 41:24
  books
• 41:25
  in
• 41:25
  audio
• 41:25
  format.
• 41:26
  And
• 41:27
  I
• 41:27
  talk
• 41:27
  about
• 41:27
  our
• 41:28
  bookmark
• 41:28
  and
• 41:28
  the
• 41:29

• 41:29
  using
• 41:30
  Canva
• 41:31
  and
• 41:31
  downloading
• 41:32
  the
• 41:32
  audiobooks.
• 41:33
  It's
• 41:33
  just
• 41:33
  so
• 41:34
  much
• 41:34
  fun.
• 41:35
  And
• 41:35
  the
• 41:36
  one
• 41:36
  thing
• 41:36
  I
• 41:36
  always
• 41:37
  say
• 41:37
  to
• 41:37
  everybody
• 41:37
  that
• 41:38
  they
• 41:38
  grow
• 41:39
  so
• 41:39
  fast,
• 41:39
  too.
• 41:40
  So
• 41:40
  you.
• 41:40
  You
• 41:40
  gotta
• 41:41
  get
• 41:41
  in
• 41:41
  there
• 41:41
  and
• 41:41
  enjoy
• 41:42
  it
• 41:42
  because,
• 41:43
  boy,
• 41:44
  it.
• 41:44
  The
• 41:44
  years
• 41:45
  just
• 41:45
  keep
• 41:45
  going
• 41:46
  on
• 41:46
  by
• 41:46
  and
• 41:47
  they
• 41:47
  get
• 41:48
  older.
• 41:48
  And
• 41:48
  I
• 41:48
  love
• 41:48
  that
• 41:49
  you
• 41:49
  have
• 41:49
  them
• 41:49
  read
• 41:50
  in
• 41:50
  the
• 41:50
  stories.
• 41:52
  I
• 41:52
  think
• 41:52
  that's
• 41:52
  so
• 41:52
  special.
• 41:53
  And
• 41:53
  from
• 41:53
  that,
• 41:53
  I
• 41:54
  asked
• 41:54
  my
• 41:54
  mom,
• 41:55
  that's
• 41:55
  another
• 41:56
  step
• 41:56
  of
• 41:56
  doing
• 41:57
  the
• 41:57
  audiobook.
• 41:57
  I
• 41:57
  said,
• 41:58
  mom,
• 41:58
  will
• 41:58
  you
• 41:58
  read
• 41:58
  the
• 41:58
  book?
• 41:59
  Same
• 41:59
  thing.
• 41:59
  I
• 41:59
  want
• 42:00
  to
• 42:00
  have
• 42:00
  her
• 42:00
  little
• 42:01
  piece
• 42:01
  of
• 42:01
  it.
• 42:01
  And
• 42:01
  she's
• 42:01
  been
• 42:02
  so
• 42:02
  helpful
• 42:02
  in
• 42:03
  this
• 42:03
  whole
• 42:03
  process.
• 42:04
  And
• 42:04
  so
• 42:04
  when
• 42:05
  I
• 42:05
  figure
• 42:05
  out
• 42:06
  how
• 42:06
  to
• 42:06
  do
• 42:06
  the

  audiobook,
• 42:07
  she
• 42:07

• 42:07
  agreed
• 42:08

• 43:51
  is
• 43:52
  named
• 43:52
  Sunny.
• 43:53
  I
• 43:53
  am
• 43:53
  actually
• 43:53
  not
• 43:54
  a
• 43:54
  cat
• 43:54
  person,
• 43:55
  but
• 43:57
  so
• 43:57
  my
• 43:57
  friends.
• 43:58
  I
• 43:58
  have
• 43:58
  a
• 43:58
  lot
• 43:58
  of
• 43:58
  friends
• 43:58
  that
• 43:59
  are
• 43:59
  cat
• 43:59
  people,
• 43:59
  and
• 43:59
  they're
• 44:00
  very
• 44:00
  surprised
• 44:01
  That
• 44:01
  I
• 44:01
  have
• 44:02
  this
• 44:02
  Sunny.
• 44:03
  This.
• 44:03
  That's
• 44:04
  a
• 44:04
  cat.
• 44:04
  That's
• 44:04
  the
• 44:05
  main
• 44:05
  character
• 44:06
  in
• 44:06
  my
• 44:06
  stories.
• 44:07
  I
• 44:07
  was
• 44:07
  interviewing
• 44:08
  someone
• 44:09
  from
• 44:09
  the
• 44:09
  UK
• 44:10
  the
• 44:10
  other
• 44:10
  day.
• 44:10
  Her
• 44:11
  name
• 44:11
  is
• 44:11
  Sue
• 44:11
  Murley.
• 44:12
  We
• 44:12
  haven't
• 44:12
  released
• 44:13
  her
• 44:13
  episode
• 44:13
  yet.
• 44:14
  And
• 44:14
  she
• 44:15
  wrote
• 44:15
  a
• 44:16
  children's
• 44:16
  book
• 44:16
  called
• 44:17
  Shirley
• 44:17
  Murley
• 44:18
  and
• 44:18
  Clever
• 44:18
  Trevor.
• 44:19
  And
• 44:20
  Clever
• 44:20
  Trevor
• 44:21
  is
• 44:21
  a
• 44:22
  border
• 44:22
  collie,
• 44:23
  black
• 44:23
  and
• 44:23
  white.
• 44:25
  She
• 44:25
  doesn't
• 44:25
  have
• 44:26
  a
• 44:26
  dog.
• 44:27
  Oh.
• 44:29
  She's
• 44:29
  living
• 44:30
  her
• 44:30
  pet
• 44:31
  through
• 44:31
  her
• 44:31
  books.
• 44:32
  So
• 44:32
  that's
• 44:32
  what
• 44:33
  you're
• 44:33
  doing.
• 44:34
  Yes.
• 44:35
  Tell
• 44:35
  us
• 44:35
  a
• 44:35
  little
• 44:35
  bit
• 44:36
  about
• 44:36
  how
• 44:36
  did
• 44:36
  you
• 44:37
  come
• 44:37
  up
• 44:37
  with
• 44:37
  Sunny
• 44:38
  the
• 44:38
  cat
• 44:39
  rather
• 44:39
  than
• 44:39
  Clever
• 44:40
  Trevor
• 44:40
  the
• 44:40
  dog
• 44:40
  or
• 44:41
  something
• 44:41
  like
• 44:41
  that.
• 44:42
  I
• 44:42
  think
• 44:42
  just
• 44:43
  stayed
• 44:43
  on.
• 44:43
  Brandon.
• 44:44
  I
• 44:44
  needed
• 44:44
  an
• 44:44
  animal.
• 44:45
  I
• 44:45
  needed
• 44:45
  something.
• 44:46
  My
• 44:46
  friend
• 44:46
  was
• 44:46
  not
• 44:47
  too
• 44:47
  happy
• 44:47
  with
• 44:47
  me
• 44:47
  that
• 44:48
  the
• 44:48
  cat
• 44:48
  was
• 44:48
  the
• 44:48
  one
• 44:49
  that
• 44:49
  caused
• 44:49
  the
• 44:49
  mischief
• 44:51
  in
• 44:51
  the
• 44:51
  story
• 44:51
  and
• 44:52
  pop
• 44:52
  the
• 44:52
  balloon.
• 44:52
  But
• 44:53
  it
• 44:53
  did
• 44:54
  teach
• 44:54
  Joy
• 44:54
  a
• 44:54
  good
• 44:55
  lesson
• 44:55
  about
• 44:56
  perseverance
• 44:56
  and
• 44:57
  resilience.
• 44:57
  And
• 44:58
  so
• 44:58
  why
• 44:59
  a
• 44:59
  cat?
• 45:00
  Yeah,
• 45:00
  I
• 45:01
  don't
• 45:01
  know.
• 45:01
  I'm
• 45:02
  not
• 45:02
  sure
• 45:02
  why
• 45:02
  I
• 45:02
  went
• 45:03
  with
• 45:03
  a
• 45:03
  cat.
• 45:03
  It
• 45:03
  was
• 45:05
  a
• 45:05
  good
• 45:05
  way
• 45:06
  to
• 45:06
  pop
• 45:06
  the
• 45:06
  balloon.
• 45:07
  You
• 45:07
  explained
• 45:08
  the
• 45:08
  whole
• 45:08
  balloon
• 45:09
  experience
• 45:09
  through
• 45:10
  school.
• 45:11
  Did
• 45:11
  you
• 45:11
  have
• 45:11
  any
• 45:11
  kind
• 45:12
  of
• 45:12
  experience
• 45:12
  like
• 45:13
  that
• 45:13
  when
• 45:13
  you
• 45:13
  were
• 45:13
  a
• 45:13
  child?
• 45:16
  No,
• 45:16
  not.
• 45:17
  I
• 45:17
  can't
• 45:17
  think
• 45:17
  of
• 45:18
  Benny.
• 45:18
  The
• 45:19
  only
• 45:19
  reason
• 45:19
  I
• 45:19
  ask,
• 45:20
  we
• 45:20
  had
• 45:20
  a
• 45:21
  dog
• 45:22
  named
• 45:22
  Bandit.
• 45:23
  He
• 45:24
  very
• 45:24
  playful
• 45:25
  dog.
• 45:25
  And
• 45:26
  we
• 45:26
  have
• 45:26
  so
• 45:26
  many
• 45:27
  birthdays
• 45:27
  in
• 45:27
  our
• 45:28
  family
• 45:28
  that
• 45:29
  come
• 45:29
  over.
• 45:29
  We
• 45:29
  blow
• 45:30
  up
• 45:30
  all
• 45:30
  these
• 45:30
  balloons
• 45:31
  and
• 45:31
  Bandit
• 45:31
  loved
• 45:32
  chasing
• 45:32
  them
• 45:32
  around
• 45:33
  and
• 45:33
  popping
• 45:33
  them.
• 45:34
  That
• 45:34
  was
• 45:34
  his
• 45:34
  favorite
• 45:34
  thing.
• 45:35
  When
• 45:35
  I
• 45:35
  read
• 45:35
  your
• 45:36
  story,
• 45:36
  I
• 45:36
  thought,
• 45:36
  oh,
• 45:37
  my
• 45:37
  goodness,
• 45:38
  it
• 45:38
  brought
• 45:39
  back
• 45:39
  memories.
• 45:40
  So
• 45:40
  I'm
• 45:40
  sure
• 45:40
  as
• 45:41
  people
• 45:41
  are
• 45:41
  listening
• 45:41
  to
• 45:42
  this,
• 45:42
  they
• 45:42
  probably
• 45:43
  have
• 45:44
  memories
• 45:44
  of
• 45:44
  their
• 45:45
  cat
• 45:45
  or
• 45:45
  their
• 45:45
  dog
• 45:46
  running
• 45:46
  around
• 45:47
  trying
• 45:47
  to
• 45:48
  pop
• 45:48
  balloons
• 45:48
  at
• 45:49
  a
• 45:49
  birthday
• 45:49
  party.
• 45:50
  Yes.
• 45:51
  And
• 45:52
  I
• 45:52
  did
• 45:52
  have
• 45:52
  a
• 45:52
  parent
• 45:53
  say
• 45:53
  that
• 45:53
  I
• 45:53
  hadn't
• 45:54
  thought
• 45:54
  about
• 45:54
  that
• 45:55
  perspective
• 45:56
  of
• 45:56
  the
• 45:56
  book
• 45:56
  is
• 45:57
  that
• 45:57
  she
• 45:57
  bought
• 45:58
  a
• 45:58
  copy
• 45:58
  and
• 45:59
  then
• 45:59
  her
• 45:59
  child
• 46:00
  had
• 46:00
  been
• 46:00
  in
• 46:00
  my
• 46:00
  class
• 46:01
  and
• 46:01
  she
• 46:01
  said
• 46:02
  that
• 46:02
  I
• 46:02
  preserved
• 46:03
  a
• 46:03
  little
• 46:03
  moment
• 46:04
  of
• 46:04
  a
• 46:04
  class
• 46:05
  memory
• 46:06
  in
• 46:06
  the
• 46:06
  book
• 46:07
  that
• 46:07
  she
• 46:08
  was
• 46:08
  able
• 46:08
  to
• 46:08
  hold
• 46:08
  on
• 46:09
  to.
• 46:09
  And
• 46:09
  it
• 46:09
  brought
• 46:09
  them
• 46:09
  back
• 46:10
  to
• 46:10
  the
• 46:10
  balloon
• 46:10
  parade
• 46:11
  that
• 46:11
  we
• 46:11
  had
• 46:11
  at
• 46:12
  the
• 46:12
  school.
• 46:12
  And
• 46:13
  I
• 46:13
  never
• 46:13
  thought
• 46:13
  of
• 46:13
  it
• 46:14
  that
• 46:14
  way
• 46:14
  of
• 46:14
  preserving
• 46:15
  a
• 46:15
  moment
• 46:15
  for
• 46:15
  the
• 46:16
  kids
• 46:16
  that
• 46:17
  come
• 46:17
  through
• 46:17
  my
• 46:17
  class
• 46:18
  as
• 46:18
  well.
• 46:19
  Point.
• 46:20
  So
• 46:20
  let's
• 46:21
  pick
• 46:21
  up
• 46:21
  on
• 46:21
  that.
• 46:21
  So
• 46:22
  let's
• 46:22
  discuss
• 46:22
  this
• 46:23
  whole
• 46:23
  theme.
• 46:23
  I
• 46:24
  know
• 46:24
  you
• 46:24
  built
• 46:24
  it
• 46:25
  around
• 46:25
  the
• 46:25
  idea
• 46:25
  of
• 46:25
  the
• 46:26
  Macy's
• 46:26
  Thanksgiving
• 46:27
  Parade,
• 46:28
  but
• 46:28
  take
• 46:28
  us
• 46:28
  a
• 46:29
  little
• 46:29
  deeper
• 46:30
  and
• 46:31
  talk
• 46:31
  to
• 46:31
  us
• 46:32
  about
• 46:32
  this
• 46:32
  whole
• 46:32
  development
• 46:33
  of
• 46:33
  that
• 46:34
  balloon
• 46:34
  parade.
• 46:35
  It's
• 46:36
  something
• 46:36
  fun
• 46:37
  that
• 46:37
  we
• 46:37
  can
• 46:37
  do
• 46:37
  in
• 46:37
  the
• 46:37
  class,
• 46:38
  that
• 46:38
  it
• 46:38
  involves
• 46:38
  the
• 46:39
  families
• 46:39
  and
• 46:39
  brings
• 46:40
  the
• 46:40
  families
• 46:41
  together
• 46:41
  in
• 46:42
  a
• 46:42
  way,
• 46:42
  especially
• 46:43
  after
• 46:43
  the
• 46:43
  pandemic
• 46:44
  we
• 46:44
  were
• 46:44
  Just
• 46:44
  looking
• 46:44
  for
• 46:45
  different
• 46:45
  things.
• 46:46
  There's
• 46:46
  a
• 46:46
  website
• 46:47
  that
• 46:47
  you
• 46:47
  can
• 46:47
  adopt
• 46:48
  a
• 46:48
  cow,
• 46:49
  dairy
• 46:49
  cow
• 46:50
  and
• 46:50
  you
• 46:50
  can
• 46:50
  follow
• 46:50
  this
• 46:51
  baby
• 46:52
  cow
• 46:52
  up
• 46:52
  to
• 46:53
  being
• 46:53
  grown
• 46:54
  put
• 46:54
  on
• 46:55
  by
• 46:55
  the
• 46:55
  milk
• 46:56
  this
• 46:57
  association
• 46:58
  for
• 46:58
  milker
• 46:59
  and
• 46:59
  so
• 46:59
  you
• 46:59
  can
• 46:59
  follow
• 47:00
  the
• 47:00
  story
• 47:00
  of.
• 47:01
  And
• 47:01
  so
• 47:01
  I've
• 47:02
  adopted
• 47:03
  that.
• 47:03
  I
• 47:03
  love
• 47:04
  to
• 47:04
  bring
• 47:04
  joy
• 47:04
  into
• 47:05
  the
• 47:05
  classroom
• 47:05
  and
• 47:06
  do
• 47:06
  fun
• 47:06
  things
• 47:07
  with
• 47:08
  the
• 47:08
  kids.
• 47:08
  And
• 47:09
  my
• 47:10
  assistant,
• 47:11
  she
• 47:11
  is
• 47:11
  great
• 47:11
  at.
• 47:12
  She
• 47:12
  has
• 47:12
  a
• 47:13
  six
• 47:13
  foot
• 47:13
  blow
• 47:14
  up
• 47:14
  dinosaur
• 47:15
  costume
• 47:16
  and
• 47:16
  she'll
• 47:16
  come
• 47:16
  into
• 47:16
  school
• 47:17
  in
• 47:17
  the
• 47:17
  dinosaur
• 47:18
  costume
• 47:18
  and
• 47:19
  Willie
• 47:19
  both
• 47:19
  will
• 47:20
  dress
• 47:20
  up,
• 47:20
  whatever.
• 47:21
  We're
• 47:21
  always
• 47:22
  dressing
• 47:22
  up
• 47:22
  for
• 47:22
  different
• 47:23
  events
• 47:23
  and
• 47:23
  everything.
• 47:24
  And
• 47:24
  I
• 47:25
  just
• 47:25
  wanted
• 47:25
  a
• 47:25
  book
• 47:25
  that
• 47:26
  would
• 47:26
  help
• 47:26
  children
• 47:28
  lead
• 47:28
  up
• 47:29
  to
• 47:29
  the
• 47:30
  balloon
• 47:30
  parade
• 47:31
  of
• 47:31
  a
• 47:31
  way
• 47:31
  to

  introduce
• 47:34
  what's
• 47:34
  going
• 47:34
  to
• 47:34
  happen.
• 47:35
  And
• 47:35
  on
• 47:35
  the
• 47:35
  website
• 47:36
  there
• 47:36
  is
• 47:36
  a
• 47:36
  week
• 47:37
  long
• 47:37
  lesson
• 47:37
  plan
• 47:38
  for
• 47:38
  hosting
• 47:38
  your
• 47:39
  own
• 47:39
  balloon
• 47:39
  parade
• 47:41
  and
• 47:41
  tips
• 47:42
  and
• 47:42
  things
• 47:42
  and
• 47:42
  some
• 47:43
  map
• 47:43
  skills
• 47:43
  that
• 47:44
  they
• 47:44
  could
• 47:44
  make
• 47:44
  their
• 47:45
  own
• 47:45
  little
• 47:45
  map
• 47:45
  or
• 47:46
  design
• 47:46
  a
• 47:47
  balloon
• 47:47
  and
• 47:47
  figure
• 47:48
  out
• 47:48
  what
• 47:48
  it's
• 47:48
  going
• 47:49
  to
• 47:49
  look
• 47:49
  like.
• 47:49
  It
• 47:49
  was
• 47:50
  important
• 47:50
  that
• 47:50
  I
• 47:51
  had
• 47:51
  the
• 47:51
  children
• 47:52
  solve
• 47:52
  the
• 47:52
  issue.
• 47:53
  I
• 47:53
  think
• 47:53
  it's
• 47:53
  big
• 47:54
  now
• 47:54
  where
• 47:55
  parents
• 47:55
  and
• 47:56
  teachers
• 47:56
  are
• 47:56
  very
• 47:57
  quick
• 47:57
  to
• 47:57
  jump
• 47:57
  in
• 47:57
  and
• 47:58
  help
• 47:58
  rescue
• 47:58
  children
• 47:59
  and
• 48:00
  they
• 48:00
  need
• 48:00
  to
• 48:00
  learn
• 48:01
  that
• 48:01
  resilience
• 48:01
  and
• 48:02
  figure
• 48:02
  things
• 48:02
  out
• 48:03
  and.
• 48:03
  Absolutely.
• 48:04
  And
• 48:04
  I
• 48:04
  want
• 48:04
  to
• 48:04
  pick
• 48:05
  up
• 48:05
  on
• 48:05
  that
• 48:05
  because
• 48:06
  I
• 48:06
  just
• 48:06
  thought
• 48:06
  about
• 48:06
  it
• 48:07
  for
• 48:07
  a
• 48:07
  moment
• 48:07
  and
• 48:08
  I
• 48:08
  thought,
• 48:08
  oh,
• 48:09
  did
• 48:10
  the
• 48:10
  name
• 48:11
  Sunny
• 48:12
  come
• 48:12
  first
• 48:13
  or
• 48:13
  did
• 48:13
  the
• 48:13
  title
• 48:14
  of
• 48:14
  your
• 48:14
  book
• 48:14
  come
• 48:15
  first?
• 48:16
  I
• 48:17
  actually
• 48:17
  had
• 48:18
  a
• 48:18
  hard
• 48:18
  time
• 48:19
  with
• 48:19
  the
• 48:19
  title
• 48:19
  because
• 48:20
  of
• 48:20
  my
• 48:20
  training
• 48:21
  with
• 48:21
  teachers,
• 48:21
  pay
• 48:22
  teachers
• 48:22
  and
• 48:22
  wanting
• 48:23
  it
• 48:23
  to
• 48:23
  be
• 48:24
  SEO,
• 48:24
  which
• 48:25
  is
• 48:25
  search
• 48:25
  engine
• 48:25
  optimization.
• 48:27
  I
• 48:27
  wanted
• 48:27
  it
• 48:27
  to
• 48:28
  be
• 48:28
  searchable,
• 48:30
  but
• 48:30
  I
• 48:30
  didn't
• 48:30
  want
• 48:30
  it
• 48:31
  to
• 48:31
  be
• 48:31
  boring.
• 48:32
  And
• 48:32
  so
• 48:32
  I
• 48:33
  really
• 48:33
  kept
• 48:33
  going
• 48:33
  back
• 48:33
  and
• 48:34
  forth
• 48:34
  with
• 48:34
  the
• 48:34
  title
• 48:35
  and
• 48:35
  finding
• 48:36
  it
• 48:36
  was
• 48:36
  going
• 48:37
  to
• 48:37
  be
• 48:37
  Joy
• 48:37
  in
• 48:37
  the
• 48:38
  Balloon
• 48:39
  Parade
• 48:39
  and
• 48:39
  Joy
• 48:40
  in
• 48:40
  the
• 48:40
  Thanksgiving
• 48:41
  Balloon
• 48:41
  Parade.
• 48:42
  Then
• 48:42
  when
• 48:42
  I
• 48:42
  would
• 48:43
  try
• 48:43
  to
• 48:43
  find
• 48:43
  out
• 48:43
  fun
• 48:44
  ones,
• 48:44
  I
• 48:44
  was
• 48:44
  struggling
• 48:45
  with
• 48:46
  finding
• 48:46
  a
• 48:47
  fun,
• 48:47
  cute
• 48:47
  title
• 48:48
  that
• 48:48
  I
• 48:48
  was
• 48:48
  like,
• 48:49
  you
• 48:49
  don't
• 48:49
  even
• 48:49
  know
• 48:49
  what
• 48:49
  happened
• 48:50
  in
• 48:50
  the
• 48:50
  book.
• 48:51
  And
• 48:51
  when
• 48:52
  I
• 48:52
  found
• 48:52
  the
• 48:52
  word
• 48:52
  catastrophe,
• 48:54
  then
• 48:54
  I
• 48:54
  thought,
• 48:54
  oh,
• 48:54
  that's
• 48:54
  perfect
• 48:55
  because
• 48:55
  it
• 48:55
  has
• 48:56
  the
• 48:56
  cat
• 48:56
  in
• 48:56
  it.
• 48:57
  And
• 48:58
  that's
• 48:58
  what
• 48:58
  I
• 48:58
  loved
• 48:59
  about
• 48:59
  it
• 48:59
  because
• 48:59
  I
• 48:59
  was
• 48:59
  thinking,
• 49:00
  oh
• 49:00
  yeah,
• 49:03
  Sonny
• 49:03
  the
• 49:03
  cat.
• 49:04
  Okay.
• 49:04
  I
• 49:05
  love
• 49:05
  how
• 49:05
  you
• 49:06
  took
• 49:06
  the
• 49:06
  word
• 49:07
  catastrophe
• 49:08
  and
• 49:08
  made
• 49:08
  cat
• 49:09
  catastrophe.
• 49:10
  Yeah.
• 49:11
  And
• 49:11
  my
• 49:11
  mom
• 49:11
  said,
• 49:11
  oh,
• 49:12
  is
• 49:12
  that
• 49:12
  kind
• 49:12
  of
• 49:12
  a
• 49:12
  big
• 49:13
  word
• 49:13
  for
• 49:13
  kids?
• 49:14
  And
• 49:14
  I
• 49:14
  said,
• 49:14
  no,
• 49:14
  they
• 49:15
  know
• 49:15
  the
• 49:15
  names
• 49:15
  of
• 49:15
  the
• 49:15
  dinosaurs.
• 49:16
  They
• 49:16
  can
• 49:16
  handle
• 49:17
  the
• 49:17
  word
• 49:17
  catastrophe.
• 49:18
  But
• 49:18
  staying.
• 49:21
  No,
• 49:21
  it's
• 49:21
  fantastic.
• 49:22
  And
• 49:22
  so
• 49:22
  that,
• 49:23
  that
• 49:23
  leads
• 49:23
  us
• 49:24
  to
• 49:24
  your
• 49:24
  really
• 49:24
  your
• 49:25
  central
• 49:25
  teaching.
• 49:26
  Right.
• 49:26
  Your
• 49:27
  central
• 49:27
  teaching
• 49:27
  is
• 49:28
  actually
• 49:28
  through
• 49:28
  the
• 49:29
  title
• 49:29
  of
• 49:29
  your
• 49:29
  book.
• 49:30
  Yeah.
• 49:31
  So
• 49:31
  talk
• 49:32
  to
• 49:32
  us
• 49:32
  a
• 49:32
  bit
• 49:32
  more
• 49:32
  so
• 49:33
  that
• 49:33
  people
• 49:33
  understand
• 49:34
  What
• 49:34
  I'm
• 49:34
  talking
• 49:34
  about.
• 49:36
  I'm
• 49:36
  big
• 49:36
  on
• 49:37
  kids
• 49:38
  having
• 49:38
  independence.
• 49:39
  And
• 49:40
  we
• 49:40
  have.
• 49:40
  When
• 49:41
  it
• 49:41
  starts.
• 49:41
  Okay.
• 49:42
  I
• 49:42
  am
• 49:42
  in
• 49:42
  Charleston,
• 49:43
  South
• 49:43
  Carolina.
• 49:44
  So
• 49:44
  our
• 49:45
  winters
• 49:45
  are
• 49:45
  a
• 49:46
  lot
• 49:46
  different
• 49:46
  than
• 49:46
  your
• 49:47
  winters.
• 49:47
  Absolutely.
• 49:49
  Our
• 49:50
  leaves
• 49:50
  start
• 49:50
  falling
• 49:51
  in
• 49:51
  November,
• 49:51
  December,
• 49:52
  December.
• 49:53
  We
• 49:54
  hope
• 49:54
  that
• 49:54
  we
• 49:54
  could
• 49:54
  go
• 49:54
  out
• 49:55
  and
• 49:55
  play
• 49:55
  in
• 49:55
  the
• 49:55
  leaves
• 49:56
  before
• 49:56
  Christmas.
• 49:58
  And
• 49:58
  so
• 49:59
  we
• 50:00
  start
• 50:00
  having
• 50:00
  to
• 50:00
  wear
• 50:01
  jackets
• 50:01
  to
• 50:01
  the
• 50:01
  playground
• 50:03
  end
• 50:03
  of
• 50:04
  October.
• 50:04
  And
• 50:05
  so
• 50:05
  I
• 50:05
  have
• 50:05
  a
• 50:05
  jacket
• 50:06
  day
• 50:06
  where
• 50:06
  we
• 50:06
  all
• 50:07
  figure
• 50:07
  out
• 50:07
  how
• 50:08
  to
• 50:08
  put
• 50:08
  our
• 50:08
  coats
• 50:08
  on.
• 50:09
  And
• 50:09
  I
• 50:10
  talk
• 50:10
  about
• 50:10
  different
• 50:10
  methods
• 50:11
  of
• 50:11
  how
• 50:11
  to
• 50:11
  put
• 50:12
  a
• 50:12
  coat
• 50:12
  on
• 50:12
  because
• 50:13
  I
• 50:13
  want
• 50:13
  children
• 50:13
  to
• 50:14
  be
• 50:14
  successful,
• 50:15
  and
• 50:15
  I
• 50:15
  want
• 50:15
  them
• 50:16
  when
• 50:16
  they
• 50:16
  have
• 50:17
  confidence
• 50:18
  then.
• 50:18
  And
• 50:19
  that's
• 50:19
  the
• 50:19
  biggest
• 50:20
  thing
• 50:20
  that
• 50:20
  I
• 50:20
  try
• 50:20
  to
• 50:20
  teach
• 50:21
  in
• 50:21
  my
• 50:21
  classroom,
• 50:22
  is
• 50:22
  how
• 50:22
  to
• 50:23
  deal
• 50:23
  with
• 50:23
  problems
• 50:24
  and
• 50:24
  all
• 50:24
  the
• 50:25
  social

  learning
• 50:26
  how
• 50:26

• 50:27
  other
• 50:27
  kids
• 50:27
  and
• 50:28
  learning
• 50:28
  how
• 50:28
  to
• 50:28
  talk
• 50:29
  things
• 50:29
  out.
• 50:30
  And
• 50:30
  that's
• 50:31
  so
• 50:31
  important
• 50:31
  to
• 50:31
  me.
• 50:31
  And
• 50:31
  I
• 50:31
  see
• 50:32
  such
• 50:32
  growth
• 50:32
  in
• 50:33
  preparing
• 50:33
  the
• 50:33
  kids
• 50:34
  to
• 50:34
  go
• 50:34
  to
• 50:34
  kindergarten
• 50:35
  with
• 50:36
  learning
• 50:36
  independence
• 50:37
  and
• 50:37
  learning
• 50:37
  social
• 50:38
  skills
• 50:38
  and
• 50:38
  learning
• 50:39
  how
• 50:39
  to
• 50:39
  solve
• 50:39
  their
• 50:39
  problems.
• 50:41
  That's
• 50:41
  really
• 50:41
  what
• 50:41
  I
• 50:42
  like
• 50:42
  to
• 50:42
  focus
• 50:42
  on.
• 50:42
  And
• 50:43
  this
• 50:43
  book
• 50:43
  was
• 50:43
  a
• 50:43
  good
• 50:43
  opportunity
• 50:44
  to.
• 50:44
  That's

  terrific.
• 50:45
  I
• 50:45
  just
• 50:46
  love
• 50:46
  it.
• 50:46
  Great

  Thank

  Now

• 50:51
  that
• 50:52
  you
• 50:52
  are

  on

  a
• 50:53
  second

  this

  it
• 51:05
  flowed
• 51:06
  pretty
• 51:06
  easily
• 51:06
  because
• 51:06
  I
• 51:07
  had
• 51:07
  the
• 51:07
  story
• 51:07
  down.
• 51:08
  And
• 51:08
  then
• 51:09
  once
• 51:09
  I
• 51:09
  started
• 51:10
  developing
• 51:10
  how
• 51:11
  I
• 51:11
  was
• 51:11
  going
• 51:11
  to
• 51:12
  have
• 51:12
  the
• 51:12
  story
• 51:13
  play
• 51:13
  out,
• 51:14
  then
• 51:14
  there
• 51:14
  were
• 51:15
  just
• 51:15
  small
• 51:15
  tweaks
• 51:16
  where
• 51:16
  I
• 51:16
  would
• 51:16
  start
• 51:17
  changing
• 51:17
  little
• 51:17
  parts
• 51:18
  of
• 51:18
  it.
• 51:18
  Some
• 51:19
  of
• 51:19
  it
• 51:19
  came
• 51:19
  also
• 51:19
  with
• 51:20
  the
• 51:20
  illustration.
• 51:21
  The
• 51:21
  one
• 51:21
  character
• 51:22
  makes
• 51:22
  an
• 51:22
  ice
• 51:22
  cream
• 51:22
  balloon.
• 51:23
  Originally
• 51:24
  it
• 51:24
  was
• 51:24
  going
• 51:24
  to
• 51:24
  be
• 51:24
  a
• 51:24
  pumpkin,
• 51:25
  but
• 51:25
  I
• 51:25
  didn't
• 51:26
  like
• 51:26
  the
• 51:26
  way
• 51:26
  the
• 51:26
  pumpkin
• 51:27
  balloon,
• 51:28
  like
• 51:28
  taking
• 51:29
  the
• 51:29
  image
• 51:29
  of
• 51:29
  a
• 51:29
  balloon
• 51:30
  and
• 51:30
  turning
• 51:30
  it
• 51:31
  into
• 51:31
  a
• 51:31
  pumpkin.
• 51:31
  It
• 51:32
  just.
• 51:32
  It
• 51:33
  wasn't
• 51:33
  exciting.
• 51:34
  Like,
• 51:34
  I
• 51:34
  didn't
• 51:35
  love
• 51:35
  it.
• 51:35
  And
• 51:35
  so
• 51:36
  then
• 51:36
  I
• 51:36
  was
• 51:36
  on
• 51:37
  Pinterest
• 51:37
  looking
• 51:37
  up
• 51:38
  ideas
• 51:38
  of
• 51:38
  balloons
• 51:39
  for
• 51:39
  real
• 51:39
  balloon
• 51:40
  parades
• 51:40
  that
• 51:40
  they
• 51:41
  had
• 51:41
  done
• 51:41
  at
• 51:41
  school.
• 51:41
  And
• 51:41
  I
• 51:41
  saw
• 51:42
  Ice
• 51:42
  cream
• 51:42
  Cone,
• 51:42
  and
• 51:42
  I
• 51:42
  was
• 51:43
  like,
• 51:43
  oh,
• 51:43
  that'll
• 51:43
  be
• 51:43
  cuter.
• 51:44
  And
• 51:44
  so
• 51:44
  I
• 51:45
  had
• 51:45
  to
• 51:45
  change
• 51:46
  the
• 51:46
  story
• 51:46
  a
• 51:46
  little
• 51:47
  bit
• 51:47
  to
• 51:47
  go
• 51:47
  along
• 51:47
  with
• 51:48
  the
• 51:48
  illustration.
• 51:49
  And
• 51:49
  I
• 51:50
  come
• 51:50
  up
• 51:50
  with
• 51:51
  the
• 51:51
  story
• 51:51
  and
• 51:51
  I
• 51:52
  get
• 51:52
  it
• 51:52
  out.
• 51:53
  And
• 51:53
  then
• 51:54
  as
• 51:54
  I
• 51:54
  start
• 51:55
  putting
• 51:55
  in
• 51:55
  the
• 51:55
  pages
• 51:56
  and
• 51:56
  figuring
• 51:57
  out
• 51:57
  the
• 51:57
  drawings,
• 51:58
  then
• 51:58
  sometimes
• 51:59
  I
• 51:59
  have
• 51:59
  to
• 51:59
  adapt
• 52:00
  the
• 52:00
  story
• 52:00
  a
• 52:00
  little
• 52:01
  bit
• 52:01
  to
• 52:02
  go
• 52:02
  along
• 52:02
  with.
• 52:03
  And
• 52:04
  what
• 52:05
  would
• 52:05
  you
• 52:06
  say,
• 52:07
  knowing
• 52:08
  that
• 52:08
  you're
• 52:08
  the
• 52:08
  illustrator
• 52:09
  but
• 52:09
  also
• 52:09
  the
• 52:10
  author,
• 52:11
  are
• 52:11
  you
• 52:11
  more
• 52:12
  visual
• 52:12
  or
• 52:13
  talk
• 52:14
  to
• 52:14
  us
• 52:14
  about
• 52:14
  that?
• 52:15
  Oh,
• 52:15
  I'm
• 52:15
  Much
• 52:15
  more
• 52:16
  visual.
• 52:16
  The
• 52:16
  words
• 52:17
  just
• 52:17
  needed
• 52:18
  to.
• 52:18
  I
• 52:19
  needed
• 52:19
  to
• 52:19
  figure
• 52:19
  those
• 52:20
  out.
• 52:20
  But
• 52:20
  that,
• 52:20
  to
• 52:21
  me
• 52:21
  was
• 52:21
  a
• 52:21
  smaller
• 52:22
  part
• 52:22
  of.
• 52:23
  Okay.
• 52:23
  Oh,
• 52:23
  no,
• 52:23
  that's
• 52:24
  fantastic.
• 52:24
  Fantastic.
• 52:25
  I'm
• 52:26
  not
• 52:26
  somebody
• 52:26
  that
• 52:26
  needs
• 52:26
  to
• 52:27
  write
• 52:27
  or
• 52:28
  I
• 52:28
  have
• 52:28
  a
• 52:28
  hard
• 52:29
  time
• 52:29
  keeping
• 52:29
  a
• 52:29
  journal
• 52:30
  for
• 52:30
  very
• 52:30
  long.
• 52:31
  My
• 52:31
  calendar
• 52:32
  doesn't
• 52:32
  have
• 52:33
  much.
• 52:33
  I
• 52:33
  don't
• 52:33
  write
• 52:34
  things
• 52:34
  down.
• 52:35
  I'm
• 52:35
  very
• 52:35
  visual.
• 52:36
  So.
• 52:36
  Do
• 52:36
  you
• 52:36
  doodle
• 52:37
  a
• 52:37
  lot?
• 52:38
  Yes.
• 52:39
  Okay.
• 52:40
  Okay.
• 52:41
  Success
• 52:42
  measurement.
• 52:43
  We
• 52:44
  previously
• 52:44
  talked
• 52:44
  about
• 52:45
  your
• 52:45
  website
• 52:45
  and
• 52:46
  how
• 52:46
  you
• 52:46
  built
• 52:46
  that
• 52:47
  out
• 52:47
  four
• 52:47
  years
• 52:47
  ago.
• 52:48
  You
• 52:48
  keep
• 52:48
  building
• 52:48
  it
• 52:49
  now.
• 52:49
  You've
• 52:49
  added
• 52:50
  your
• 52:50
  book
• 52:51
  tab
• 52:51
  and
• 52:51
  your
• 52:51
  books,
• 52:52
  and
• 52:53
  that'll
• 52:53
  help
• 52:54
  bring
• 52:54
  traffic
• 52:55
  to
• 52:55
  your
• 52:55
  website.
• 52:57
  I'm
• 52:57
  curious,
• 52:58
  though,
• 52:59
  when
• 52:59
  you
• 52:59
  started
• 52:59
  thinking
• 53:00
  about
• 53:00
  your
• 53:00
  book
• 53:01
  and
• 53:01
  your
• 53:01
  book
• 53:01
  success,
• 53:02
  what
• 53:03
  did
• 53:03
  it
• 53:03
  mean
• 53:03
  to
• 53:03
  you?
• 53:04
  What
• 53:05
  does
• 53:05
  success
• 53:06
  look
• 53:06
  to
• 53:06
  you?
• 53:08
  I
• 53:08
  think
• 53:08
  part
• 53:09
  of
• 53:09
  the
• 53:09
  success
• 53:10
  was
• 53:10
  getting
• 53:11
  it
• 53:11
  done
• 53:11
  and
• 53:11
  listed
• 53:12
  just
• 53:12
  to
• 53:12
  get
• 53:13
  to
• 53:13
  that
• 53:14
  point.
• 53:14
  There's
• 53:14
  a
• 53:14
  lot
• 53:15
  of
• 53:15
  people
• 53:15
  that
• 53:15
  you
• 53:16
  interview
• 53:16
  or
• 53:16
  other
• 53:17
  people.
• 53:17
  I've
• 53:17
  heard
• 53:18
  them
• 53:18
  talk
• 53:18
  and
• 53:18
  they've
• 53:19
  had
• 53:19
  an
• 53:19
  idea
• 53:19
  for
• 53:20
  10
• 53:20
  years.
• 53:20
  And
• 53:21
  having
• 53:21
  the
• 53:21
  finished
• 53:22
  product,
• 53:23
  to
• 53:23
  me
• 53:23
  was
• 53:24
  the
• 53:24
  first
• 53:24
  success.
• 53:25
  Having
• 53:25
  it
• 53:25
  listed,
• 53:26
  seeing
• 53:26
  it
• 53:26
  in
• 53:27
  the
• 53:27
  Amazon
• 53:27
  search,
• 53:28
  that
• 53:29
  was
• 53:29
  a
• 53:29
  huge
• 53:30
  success
• 53:30
  for
• 53:31
  me
• 53:31
  because
• 53:31
  that
• 53:32
  doesn't
• 53:32
  happen
• 53:32
  a
• 53:33
  lot.
• 53:33
  That
• 53:34
  there
• 53:34
  are
• 53:34
  a
• 53:34
  lot
• 53:34
  of
• 53:35
  people
• 53:35
  out
• 53:35
  there
• 53:35
  that
• 53:35
  have
• 53:36
  stories
• 53:36
  that
• 53:37
  they're
• 53:37
  waiting
• 53:37
  to
• 53:38
  tell
• 53:38
  and
• 53:38
  just
• 53:38
  don't
• 53:39
  have
• 53:39
  it
• 53:39
  pieced
• 53:40
  together.
• 53:40
  And
• 53:41
  so
• 53:41
  crossing
• 53:42
  off
• 53:42
  all
• 53:42
  those
• 53:43
  boxes
• 53:43
  and
• 53:43
  having
• 53:44
  it
• 53:44
  listed
• 53:45
  was
• 53:45
  the
• 53:45
  first
• 53:45
  success.
• 53:46
  And
• 53:47
  I
• 53:47
  did
• 53:47
  need
• 53:48
  to
• 53:48
  read
• 53:48
  it
• 53:48
  to
• 53:48
  the
• 53:48
  kids
• 53:49
  in
• 53:49
  my
• 53:49
  class
• 53:50
  because
• 53:50
  I
• 53:51
  needed
• 53:51
  to
• 53:51
  see
• 53:51
  children
• 53:52
  react
• 53:52
  to
• 53:53
  it.
• 53:53
  And
• 53:53
  the
• 53:53
  other
• 53:54
  thing
• 53:54
  is
• 53:54
  with
• 53:55
  teachers,
• 53:55
  pay
• 53:56
  teachers,
• 53:56
  when
• 53:56
  I
• 53:56
  sell
• 53:57
  a
• 53:57
  product
• 53:57
  or
• 53:57
  if
• 53:57
  I
• 53:58
  list
• 53:58
  something
• 53:58
  that
• 53:59
  most
• 53:59
  of
• 53:59
  the
• 53:59
  stuff
• 54:00
  I
• 54:00
  use
• 54:00
  in
• 54:00
  my
• 54:00
  own
• 54:00
  classroom,
• 54:01
  and
• 54:02
  when
• 54:03
  it
• 54:03
  only
• 54:03
  lists
• 54:04
  five
• 54:04
  sales,
• 54:05
  then
• 54:05
  I
• 54:05
  think
• 54:07
  that
• 54:07
  number
• 54:07
  seems
• 54:08
  small.
• 54:08
  But
• 54:08
  then
• 54:09
  I
• 54:09
  think,
• 54:09
  okay,
• 54:09
  if
• 54:10
  that's
• 54:10
  five
• 54:10
  teachers
• 54:11
  that
• 54:11
  bought
• 54:11
  that
• 54:12
  book,
• 54:12
  then
• 54:13
  that
• 54:13
  means
• 54:13
  they
• 54:13
  might
• 54:13
  have
• 54:14
  20
• 54:14
  kids
• 54:14
  in
• 54:15
  their
• 54:15
  class.
• 54:16
  And
• 54:16
  so
• 54:17
  then
• 54:17
  it's
• 54:17
  100
• 54:18
  children
• 54:18
  that
• 54:19
  got
• 54:19
  to
• 54:19
  six.
• 54:20
  See
• 54:20
  that
• 54:21
  they're
• 54:21
  walking
• 54:21
  around
• 54:22
  with
• 54:22
  that
• 54:22
  headband
• 54:23
  on
• 54:23
  their
• 54:23
  head
• 54:24
  that
• 54:24
  I
• 54:24
  created.
• 54:25
  That
• 54:25
  just
• 54:26
  gets
• 54:26
  me
• 54:26
  a
• 54:26
  little
• 54:27
  emotional
• 54:27
  thinking
• 54:28
  about
• 54:28
  that,
• 54:28
  where
• 54:29
  25
• 54:30
  years
• 54:30
  ago
• 54:30
  when
• 54:30
  I
• 54:31
  started
• 54:31
  teaching,
• 54:32
  my
• 54:32
  husband
• 54:32
  says,
• 54:33
  oh,
• 54:33
  you've
• 54:33
  taught
• 54:33
  so
• 54:34
  many
• 54:34
  kids
• 54:34
  in
• 54:34
  our
• 54:35
  small
• 54:35
  community.
• 54:36
  You've
• 54:36
  really
• 54:37
  made
• 54:37
  an
• 54:37
  impact
• 54:38
  in
• 54:39
  our
• 54:39
  area.
• 54:40
  Yes.
• 54:40
  And
• 54:41
  then
• 54:41
  when
• 54:41
  I
• 54:41
  started
• 54:41
  listing
• 54:42
  on
• 54:42
  teachers,
• 54:43
  pay
• 54:43
  teachers,
• 54:43
  it's,
• 54:44
  wow,
• 54:44
  there's
• 54:44
  people
• 54:45
  in.
• 54:46
  Somebody
• 54:46
  just
• 54:46
  bought
• 54:46
  this.
• 54:47
  In
• 54:47
  Texas,
• 54:47
  Somebody
• 54:48
  just
• 54:48
  bought
• 54:48
  this.
• 54:49
  There's.
• 54:49
  I
• 54:49
  had
• 54:50
  somebody
• 54:50
  that
• 54:50
  bought
• 54:51
  some
• 54:51
  chapel
• 54:52
  lessons,
• 54:52
  and
• 54:53
  they
• 54:53
  were
• 54:53
  doing
• 54:53
  a
• 54:53
  Bible
• 54:54
  study
• 54:54
  at
• 54:54
  their
• 54:54
  church,
• 54:55
  and
• 54:55
  they
• 54:55
  had
• 54:55
  70
• 54:55
  kids
• 54:56
  that
• 54:56
  were
• 54:57
  walking
• 54:57
  around
• 54:58
  with
• 54:58
  the
• 54:58
  headbands.
• 54:59
  I
• 54:59
  created
• 54:59
  on
• 54:59
  my
• 54:59
  head.
• 55:00
  And
• 55:00
  that
• 55:00
  just.
• 55:01
  That's
• 55:01
  a
• 55:01
  little
• 55:01
  emotional
• 55:02
  thinking
• 55:03
  that
• 55:03
  something
• 55:03
  you
• 55:03
  created
• 55:04
  is
• 55:04
  out
• 55:04
  there.
• 55:05
  And
• 55:05
  so
• 55:05
  even
• 55:06
  if
• 55:06
  the
• 55:06
  numbers
• 55:07
  are
• 55:07
  small
• 55:07
  of
• 55:07
  who
• 55:08
  bought
• 55:08
  the
• 55:08
  book,
• 55:09
  if
• 55:09
  a
• 55:09
  teacher
• 55:09
  bought
• 55:10
  that
• 55:10
  book
• 55:10
  and
• 55:10
  she
• 55:10
  reads
• 55:11
  it
• 55:11
  to
• 55:11
  her
• 55:11
  class
• 55:12
  and
• 55:12
  she
• 55:12
  reads
• 55:12
  it
• 55:13
  every
• 55:13
  year,
• 55:14
  then
• 55:15
  it's
• 55:15
  made
• 55:15
  a
• 55:15
  huge
• 55:16
  impact.
• 55:16
  It's
• 55:17
  not
• 55:17
  just
• 55:17
  one
• 55:18
  sale.
• 55:19
  Absolutely.
• 55:19
  There's
• 55:20
  so
• 55:20
  many
• 55:20
  children
• 55:20
  that
• 55:21
  are
• 55:21
  getting
• 55:21
  to
• 55:21
  hear
• 55:21
  that.
• 55:22
  The
• 55:22
  beautiful
• 55:22
  thing
• 55:23
  about
• 55:24
  children,
• 55:24
  they're
• 55:25
  a
• 55:25
  renewable
• 55:25
  resource.
• 55:27
  It's
• 55:27
  constant.
• 55:28
  We
• 55:28
  get
• 55:28
  new
• 55:28
  children
• 55:29
  all
• 55:29
  the
• 55:29
  time,
• 55:30
  and
• 55:30
  they
• 55:31
  just
• 55:31
  keep
• 55:31
  coming
• 55:31
  into
• 55:32
  the
• 55:32
  system.
• 55:33
  The
• 55:33
  beautiful
• 55:34
  thing
• 55:34
  about
• 55:34
  it
• 55:35
  is
• 55:35
  that
• 55:36
  most
• 55:36
  children's
• 55:37
  books
• 55:37
  are
• 55:38
  timeless.
• 55:39
  And
• 55:39
  that's
• 55:40
  what
• 55:40
  I
• 55:40
  keep
• 55:40
  saying
• 55:40
  to

  my

  guests
• 55:41
  that.

  Come

  on.
• 55:42
  I
• 55:42
  remind
• 55:43
  them
• 55:43
  that,
• 55:43
  you
• 55:44
  know
• 55:44
  what?
• 55:44
  Just

  first

  time.
• 56:02
  It
• 56:02
  doesn't

  a
• 56:05
  year
• 56:05
  ago,
• 56:06
  because

  they're

• 56:07
  it

  first

  time.
• 56:12
  And
• 56:12
  it's
• 56:12
  the
• 56:12
  same
• 56:12
  with
• 56:13
  children
• 56:13
  coming
• 56:13
  into
• 56:14
  the
• 56:14
  school
• 56:15
  system
• 56:16
  every
• 56:16
  year.
• 56:17
  It's
• 56:17
  a
• 56:18
  brand
• 56:18
  new
• 56:18
  audience.
• 56:19
  Yeah.
• 56:20
  Yeah.
• 56:20
  It's
• 56:20
  fun.
• 56:21
  It's
• 56:21
  so
• 56:21
  much
• 56:21
  fun.
• 56:22
  Yes.
• 56:24
  Your
• 56:24
  role
• 56:24
  as
• 56:25
  a
• 56:25
  children's
• 56:25
  book
• 56:25
  author,
• 56:26
  it's
• 56:27
  expanding.
• 56:28
  Talk
• 56:28
  to
• 56:28
  us
• 56:28
  about
• 56:29
  that
• 56:29
  in
• 56:29
  the
• 56:29
  grand
• 56:30
  scheme
• 56:30
  of
• 56:30
  things,
• 56:31
  as
• 56:31
  you
• 56:31
  see
• 56:31
  it
• 56:32
  developing
• 56:32
  through
• 56:32
  your
• 56:33
  life.
• 56:34
  I
• 56:34
  think
• 56:35
  it's
• 56:35
  going
• 56:35
  to
• 56:35
  take
• 56:35
  me
• 56:35
  a
• 56:36
  little
• 56:36
  bit
• 56:36
  of
• 56:36
  time.
• 56:37
  It
• 56:37
  took
• 56:37
  about
• 56:37
  eight
• 56:38
  months
• 56:38
  or
• 56:38
  nine
• 56:38
  months,
• 56:39
  so
• 56:39
  it
• 56:39
  feels
• 56:39
  I've
• 56:40
  been
• 56:40
  birthed.
• 56:41
  It's
• 56:41
  like
• 56:41
  the
• 56:42
  same
• 56:42
  amount
• 56:42
  of
• 56:42
  time
• 56:42
  as
• 56:43
  it
• 56:43
  took
• 56:43
  to
• 56:43
  carry
• 56:44
  your
• 56:44
  children
• 56:44
  in.
• 56:45
  Okay.
• 56:45
  But
• 56:45
  here's
• 56:46
  my
• 56:46
  book,
• 56:47
  baby.
• 56:47
  Yes.
• 56:49
  And
• 56:49
  it's
• 56:49
  going
• 56:50
  to
• 56:50
  take
• 56:50
  me
• 56:50
  a
• 56:50
  couple
• 56:50
  years.
• 56:51
  I
• 56:51
  have
• 56:51
  these
• 56:51
  four
• 56:52
  books
• 56:53
  ideas.
• 56:54
  So
• 56:54
  I'm
• 56:54
  hoping
• 56:54
  by
• 56:55
  next
• 56:55
  year
• 56:55
  at
• 56:55
  this
• 56:56
  time.
• 56:57
  I
• 56:57
  don't
• 56:57
  want
• 56:57
  to
• 56:57
  put.
• 56:58
  Yeah.
• 56:58
  Putting
• 56:59
  a
• 56:59
  date
• 56:59
  out
• 56:59
  there.
• 57:00
  Yeah.
• 57:00
  Because
• 57:00
  I
• 57:01
  gave
• 57:01
  you
• 57:01
  a
• 57:01
  lot
• 57:01
  of
• 57:01
  homework.
• 57:02
  Yes.
• 57:04
  And
• 57:04
  it's
• 57:04
  like,
• 57:05
  how
• 57:05
  much
• 57:05
  do
• 57:05
  I
• 57:06
  keep
• 57:06
  promoting
• 57:06
  the
• 57:06
  book
• 57:07
  that
• 57:07
  I
• 57:07
  already
• 57:07
  did
• 57:07
  versus
• 57:08
  diving
• 57:09
  in
• 57:09
  and
• 57:09
  balancing
• 57:10
  both
• 57:10
  of
• 57:10
  that?
• 57:10
  And
• 57:11
  it
• 57:11
  was
• 57:11
  funny
• 57:11
  because
• 57:11
  when
• 57:12
  we
• 57:12
  were
• 57:12
  headed
• 57:12
  to
• 57:13
  my
• 57:13
  book
• 57:13
  launch,
• 57:13
  my
• 57:14
  daughter
• 57:14
  and
• 57:14
  I
• 57:14
  were
• 57:14
  talking
• 57:15
  and
• 57:15
  we
• 57:15
  were
• 57:15
  preparing
• 57:16
  stuff.
• 57:17
  I
• 57:17
  said,
• 57:17
  I'm
• 57:17
  a
• 57:17
  numbers
• 57:18
  person
• 57:18
  and
• 57:18
  I
• 57:19
  like
• 57:19
  even
• 57:19
  numbers
• 57:20
  and
• 57:20
  not
• 57:20
  odd
• 57:20
  numbers.
• 57:21
  And
• 57:21
  so
• 57:21
  I
• 57:21
  had
• 57:21
  these
• 57:21
  four
• 57:22
  ideas
• 57:23
  of
• 57:23
  these
• 57:23
  books
• 57:24
  that
• 57:24
  I
• 57:24
  want
• 57:24
  all
• 57:24
  to
• 57:25
  be
• 57:25
  together.
• 57:25
  And
• 57:25
  then
• 57:26
  a
• 57:26
  bundle
• 57:26
  book.
• 57:26
  So
• 57:26
  that's
• 57:27
  five
• 57:27
  books.
• 57:28
  And
• 57:28
  then
• 57:29
  based
• 57:29
  on
• 57:29
  this
• 57:30
  book
• 57:30
  that
• 57:30
  I
• 57:30
  wrote
• 57:31
  30
• 57:31
  years
• 57:32
  ago
• 57:32
  to
• 57:32
  my
• 57:32
  children.
• 57:33
  I
• 57:33
  had
• 57:34
  three
• 57:34
  ideas
• 57:34
  back
• 57:35
  then
• 57:35
  of
• 57:35
  books
• 57:36
  that
• 57:36
  I
• 57:36
  wanted
• 57:36
  to
• 57:36
  put
• 57:37
  out.
• 57:37
  And
• 57:37
  my
• 57:37
  husband
• 57:37
  said,
• 57:38
  why
• 57:38
  didn't
• 57:38
  you
• 57:38
  start
• 57:38
  with
• 57:38
  that
• 57:39
  one?
• 57:39
  And
• 57:39
  I
• 57:39
  said,
• 57:39
  no,
• 57:40
  I
• 57:40
  need
• 57:40
  to
• 57:40
  get
• 57:40
  the
• 57:40
  balloon
• 57:41
  one
• 57:41
  out
• 57:41
  because
• 57:41
  I
• 57:42
  think
• 57:42
  that
• 57:42
  it'll
• 57:42
  be.
• 57:43
  Teachers
• 57:43
  need
• 57:44
  it
• 57:44
  now
• 57:44
  and
• 57:44
  it's
• 57:44
  not
• 57:45
  out
• 57:45
  there
• 57:45
  yet.
• 57:46
  So
• 57:46
  I
• 57:46
  said
• 57:46
  to
• 57:47
  my
• 57:47
  daughter,
• 57:47
  I
• 57:47
  said,
• 57:48
  well,
• 57:48
  if
• 57:48
  I
• 57:48
  have
• 57:48
  these
• 57:48
  other
• 57:48
  three
• 57:49
  books
• 57:49
  that
• 57:49
  I
• 57:49
  did
• 57:49
  years
• 57:50
  ago
• 57:50
  that
• 57:50
  I
• 57:50
  need
• 57:50
  to
• 57:51
  now
• 57:51
  put
• 57:51
  out,
• 57:52
  once
• 57:53
  I
• 57:53
  get
• 57:53
  this,
• 57:53
  I
• 57:54
  said,
• 57:54
  then
• 57:54
  if
• 57:54
  I
• 57:54
  make
• 57:54
  those
• 57:55
  a
• 57:55
  big
• 57:55
  one,
• 57:55
  then
• 57:55
  that's
• 57:56
  nine.
• 57:56
  I
• 57:57
  have
• 57:57
  to
• 57:57
  have
• 57:57
  10.
• 58:00
  Then
• 58:00
  I'm
• 58:00
  like,
• 58:00
  okay,
• 58:00
  then
• 58:01
  at
• 58:01
  10
• 58:01
  I
• 58:01
  have
• 58:01
  to
• 58:02
  stop.
• 58:03
  So
• 58:04
  maybe
• 58:04
  that
• 58:04
  should
• 58:05
  be
• 58:05
  a
• 58:05
  10
• 58:05
  year
• 58:05
  goal.
• 58:06
  But
• 58:07
  my
• 58:07
  grandchildren
• 58:08
  and
• 58:08
  myself
• 58:09
  have
• 58:09
  written
• 58:09
  38
• 58:10
  different
• 58:10
  books
• 58:11
  and
• 58:11
  in
• 58:11
  the
• 58:12
  series.
• 58:12
  But
• 58:12
  you
• 58:13
  know
• 58:13
  what?
• 58:13
  Unless
• 58:14
  I
• 58:14
  win
• 58:15
  super
• 58:15
  lotto
• 58:16
  and
• 58:16
  win
• 58:17
  100
• 58:17
  million
• 58:18
  bucks,
• 58:19
  we're
• 58:19
  probably
• 58:19
  never
• 58:20
  going
• 58:20
  to
• 58:20
  get
• 58:20
  all
• 58:20
  38
• 58:21
  to
• 58:21
  market
• 58:22
  in
• 58:22
  print.
• 58:23
  Unless
• 58:23
  one
• 58:23
  of
• 58:24
  your
• 58:24
  grandchildren
• 58:24
  learn
• 58:25
  how
• 58:25
  to
• 58:25
  draw
• 58:25
  and
• 58:26
  do
• 58:26
  all
• 58:26
  the
• 58:26
  illustrations
• 58:27
  for
• 58:27
  you.
• 58:28
  Yeah,
• 58:28
  I
• 58:29
  have
• 58:29
  two
• 58:29
  that
• 58:29
  are
• 58:29
  very
• 58:30
  talented
• 58:30
  from
• 58:31
  that
• 58:31
  aspect.
• 58:32
  So
• 58:32
  far,
• 58:32
  I
• 58:32
  haven't
• 58:33
  been
• 58:33
  able
• 58:33
  to
• 58:34
  convince
• 58:34
  them
• 58:34
  to
• 58:34
  be
• 58:35
  the
• 58:35
  illustrator.

  Advice

  for
• 58:37
  aspiring

  authors.
• 58:39
  Now
• 58:39
  that
• 58:39
  you're
• 58:40
  a
• 58:40
  newly
• 58:40
  minted

  children's
• 58:41
  book
• 58:42
  author,
• 58:42
  what
• 58:43
  advice
• 58:43
  would
• 58:43
  you
• 58:44
  give
• 58:44
  to
• 58:44
  someone
• 58:44
  starting
• 58:45
  out
• 58:45
  who's
• 58:45
  an
• 58:46
  aspiring
• 58:46
  book
• 58:46
  author?
• 58:47
  And
• 58:47
  how
• 58:47
  to
• 58:48
  get
• 58:48
  started?
• 58:49
  When
• 58:50
  I
• 58:50
  drew
• 58:50
  the.
• 58:51
  When
• 58:51
  I
• 58:51
  took
• 58:51
  little
• 58:51
  sheets
• 58:52
  of
• 58:52
  paper
• 58:52
  and
• 58:53
  I
• 58:53
  drew
• 58:53
  out
• 58:53
  what
• 58:53
  my
• 58:53
  story
• 58:54
  looked
• 58:54
  like,
• 58:55
  then
• 58:55
  I
• 58:56
  was
• 58:56
  able
• 58:56
  to
• 58:56
  take
• 58:56
  action.
• 58:57
  When
• 58:57
  I
• 58:57
  knew
• 58:57
  the
• 58:58
  next
• 58:58
  step
• 58:58
  that
• 58:58
  I
• 58:58
  needed
• 58:59
  to
• 58:59
  do
• 59:00
  is
• 59:00
  when
• 59:01
  then
• 59:01
  I
• 59:01
  was
• 59:01
  able
• 59:01
  to
• 59:02
  take
• 59:02
  action.
• 59:03
  When
• 59:03
  I
• 59:03
  watched
• 59:03
  the
• 59:03
  Evie
• 59:04
  Jones
• 59:04
  video
• 59:05
  about
• 59:05
  how
• 59:05
  to
• 59:05
  set
• 59:05
  up
• 59:06
  the
• 59:06
  procreate
• 59:07
  and
• 59:07
  what
• 59:07
  size
• 59:08
  to
• 59:08
  put
• 59:08
  it
• 59:08
  in.
• 59:09
  And
• 59:09
  I
• 59:09
  was
• 59:09
  able
• 59:09
  to
• 59:10
  just
• 59:10
  do
• 59:10
  that
• 59:10
  and
• 59:11
  get
• 59:11
  it
• 59:11
  set
• 59:11
  up.
• 59:12
  Then
• 59:12
  I
• 59:12
  just
• 59:13
  started.
• 59:15
  Once
• 59:15
  I
• 59:15
  got
• 59:15
  those
• 59:16
  characters
• 59:16
  developed,
• 59:17
  then
• 59:17
  once
• 59:17
  you
• 59:18
  just
• 59:18
  start
• 59:18
  doing
• 59:18
  it,
• 59:19
  then
• 59:19
  you
• 59:19
  start
• 59:19
  doing
• 59:19
  it
• 59:20
  better.
• 59:20
  Right
• 59:21
  now
• 59:21
  I'm
• 59:22
  sitting
• 59:22
  with
• 59:22
  this
• 59:23
  story
• 59:23
  and
• 59:23
  I
• 59:23
  haven't
• 59:24
  started
• 59:24
  drawing
• 59:24
  it.
• 59:25
  Once
• 59:25
  I
• 59:25
  start
• 59:25
  drawing
• 59:26
  it,
• 59:26
  then
• 59:26
  the
• 59:27
  story
• 59:27
  will
• 59:27
  just.
• 59:28
  It'll
• 59:29
  just
• 59:29
  grow.
• 59:29
  Once
• 59:30
  I
• 59:31
  just
• 59:31
  tip.
• 59:32
  Start
• 59:32
  taking
• 59:32
  those
• 59:33
  steps
• 59:33
  to
• 59:33
  get
• 59:34
  closer
• 59:34
  to
• 59:34
  your
• 59:35
  end
• 59:35
  goal.
• 59:36
  Because
• 59:36
  if
• 59:36
  you
• 59:36
  just
• 59:37
  overthink
• 59:37
  it,
• 59:38
  then
• 59:38
  you
• 59:38
  won't
• 59:38
  ever
• 59:39
  do
• 59:39
  it.
• 59:40
  Take
• 59:40
  no
• 59:40
  action.
• 59:41
  Yeah.
• 59:41
  And
• 59:41
  those
• 59:42
  little
• 59:42
  action
• 59:42
  steps
• 59:43
  is
• 59:43
  where
• 59:43
  you
• 59:44
  learn.
• 59:44
  It's
• 59:45
  where
• 59:45
  mistakes
• 59:46
  might
• 59:46
  happen.
• 59:47
  Like
• 59:47
  I
• 59:47
  said,
• 59:47
  the
• 59:48
  first
• 59:48
  characters
• 59:49
  I
• 59:49
  drew,
• 59:49
  they
• 59:50
  didn't
• 59:50
  match
• 59:50
  by
• 59:51
  the
• 59:51
  time
• 59:51
  I
• 59:51
  got
• 59:51
  to
• 59:51
  the
• 59:52
  end
• 59:52
  and
• 59:52
  I
• 59:52
  had
• 59:52
  to
• 59:52
  go
• 59:53
  back
• 59:53
  and
• 59:53
  tweak
• 59:53
  them
• 59:54
  and
• 59:54
  clean
• 59:55
  them
• 59:55
  up.
• 59:55
  And
• 59:55
  there's
• 59:55
  a
• 59:55
  lot
• 59:56
  of
• 59:56
  things
• 59:56
  in
• 59:56
  that
• 59:56
  Procreate
• 59:57
  app.
• 59:57
  That
• 59:57
  I
• 59:57
  don't
• 59:57
  know
• 59:58
  how
• 59:58
  to
• 59:58
  do
• 59:58
  yet.
• 59:59
  And
• 59:59
  as
• 59:59
  I
• 1:00:00
  work
• 1:00:00
  in
• 1:00:00
  it
• 1:00:00
  and
• 1:00:01
  play
• 1:00:01
  around
• 1:00:01
  with
• 1:00:01
  it,
• 1:00:02
  then
• 1:00:02
  I
• 1:00:03
  figure
• 1:00:03
  it
• 1:00:03
  out
• 1:00:03
  and
• 1:00:03
  then
• 1:00:04
  it
• 1:00:04
  becomes
• 1:00:04
  an
• 1:00:04
  easier
• 1:00:05
  process.
• 1:00:06
  Just
• 1:00:06
  get
• 1:00:06
  started.
• 1:00:07
  Thank
• 1:00:07
  you
• 1:00:07
  for
• 1:00:07
  sharing
• 1:00:08
  that
• 1:00:08
  encouragement
• 1:00:09
  for
• 1:00:09
  readers.
• 1:00:10
  Why
• 1:00:10
  should
• 1:00:11
  children's
• 1:00:11
  book
• 1:00:11
  readers
• 1:00:12
  purchase
• 1:00:12
  your
• 1:00:12
  book?
• 1:00:14
  I'm
• 1:00:14
  gonna
• 1:00:15
  gear
• 1:00:15
  towards
• 1:00:16
  teachers
• 1:00:16
  because
• 1:00:17
  I
• 1:00:17
  think
• 1:00:17
  that
• 1:00:17
  it
• 1:00:18
  is
• 1:00:18
  a
• 1:00:18
  good
• 1:00:18
  book
• 1:00:19
  for
• 1:00:19
  preschool
• 1:00:20
  teachers.
• 1:00:20
  Like
• 1:00:20
  I've
• 1:00:21
  said,
• 1:00:21
  I've
• 1:00:21
  been
• 1:00:21
  in
• 1:00:21
  the
• 1:00:21
  class
• 1:00:22
  for
• 1:00:22
  a
• 1:00:22
  long
• 1:00:22
  time
• 1:00:23
  and
• 1:00:23
  I
• 1:00:23
  wanted
• 1:00:24
  something
• 1:00:25
  especially
• 1:00:25
  for
• 1:00:25
  those
• 1:00:26
  four
• 1:00:26
  and
• 1:00:26
  five
• 1:00:26
  year
• 1:00:27
  old
• 1:00:27
  kids
• 1:00:27
  that's
• 1:00:28
  the
• 1:00:28
  age
• 1:00:28
  that
• 1:00:29
  I've
• 1:00:29
  taught
• 1:00:29
  forever.
• 1:00:30
  And
• 1:00:30
  I
• 1:00:30
  just
• 1:00:31
  think
• 1:00:31
  it's
• 1:00:31
  a
• 1:00:31
  good
• 1:00:32
  book
• 1:00:32
  to
• 1:00:32
  help
• 1:00:33
  deal
• 1:00:33
  with
• 1:00:33
  little
• 1:00:34
  problems
• 1:00:34
  and
• 1:00:35
  come
• 1:00:35
  up
• 1:00:35
  with
• 1:00:35
  solutions.
• 1:00:36
  It's
• 1:00:36
  a
• 1:00:36
  good
• 1:00:37
  starting
• 1:00:37
  point
• 1:00:37
  of
• 1:00:38
  talking
• 1:00:38
  through
• 1:00:38
  what
• 1:00:39
  happens
• 1:00:39
  when
• 1:00:40
  something
• 1:00:40
  doesn't
• 1:00:40
  go
• 1:00:41
  your
• 1:00:41
  way.
• 1:00:41
  What
• 1:00:41
  happens
• 1:00:42
  when
• 1:00:43
  there's
• 1:00:43
  a
• 1:00:43
  big
• 1:00:44
  catastrophe
• 1:00:45
  in
• 1:00:45
  your
• 1:00:45
  life?
• 1:00:46
  How
• 1:00:46
  are
• 1:00:46
  you
• 1:00:46
  going
• 1:00:46
  to
• 1:00:46
  deal
• 1:00:46
  with
• 1:00:46
  it?
• 1:00:47
  And
• 1:00:47
  a
• 1:00:47
  catastrophe
• 1:00:48
  to
• 1:00:48
  a
• 1:00:48
  child
• 1:00:48
  could
• 1:00:48
  be
• 1:00:48
  that
• 1:00:48
  their
• 1:00:49
  parents
• 1:00:49
  set
• 1:00:50
  them
• 1:00:50
  in
• 1:00:50
  the
• 1:00:50
  wrong
• 1:00:50
  shoes
• 1:00:51
  that
• 1:00:51
  they
• 1:00:51
  didn't
• 1:00:51
  want
• 1:00:51
  to
• 1:00:51
  wear
• 1:00:52
  and
• 1:00:52
  the
• 1:00:52
  things
• 1:00:53
  that
• 1:00:53
  we
• 1:00:53
  think
• 1:00:53
  are
• 1:00:54
  innocent
• 1:00:54
  and
• 1:00:55
  simple
• 1:00:55
  and
• 1:00:55
  not
• 1:00:56
  so
• 1:00:56
  important
• 1:00:56
  to
• 1:00:57
  a
• 1:00:57
  kid.
• 1:00:57
  It
• 1:00:57
  can
• 1:00:57
  be
• 1:00:58
  a
• 1:00:58
  really
• 1:00:58
  big
• 1:00:58
  deal.
• 1:00:59
  And
• 1:01:00
  so
• 1:01:00
  I
• 1:01:00
  think
• 1:01:00
  this
• 1:01:00
  book
• 1:01:01
  just
• 1:01:01
  helps
• 1:01:03
  them
• 1:01:03
  think
• 1:01:03
  through
• 1:01:04
  some
• 1:01:04
  of
• 1:01:04
  those
• 1:01:05
  things
• 1:01:05
  that
• 1:01:05
  they
• 1:01:05
  have
• 1:01:06
  happen
• 1:01:06
  in
• 1:01:06
  their
• 1:01:06
  life
• 1:01:06
  and
• 1:01:07
  how
• 1:01:07
  they
• 1:01:07
  can
• 1:01:07
  be
• 1:01:07
  lessons
• 1:01:08
  and
• 1:01:08
  how
• 1:01:08
  they
• 1:01:08
  can
• 1:01:09
  grow
• 1:01:09
  out
• 1:01:09
  of
• 1:01:10
  those
• 1:01:10
  things.
• 1:01:10
  That's
• 1:01:11
  terrific.
• 1:01:12
  I
• 1:01:12
  normally
• 1:01:13
  ask
• 1:01:13
  this
• 1:01:14
  as
• 1:01:14
  a
• 1:01:15
  single
• 1:01:15
  question.
• 1:01:16
  I'm
• 1:01:16
  going
• 1:01:16
  to
• 1:01:16
  ask
• 1:01:16
  you
• 1:01:17
  in
• 1:01:17
  a
• 1:01:17
  two
• 1:01:18
  parter
• 1:01:18
  and
• 1:01:18
  you'll
• 1:01:19
  understand
• 1:01:19
  in
• 1:01:19
  a
• 1:01:19
  moment.
• 1:01:20
  Okay.
• 1:01:20
  Final
• 1:01:21
  thoughts.
• 1:01:21
  Is
• 1:01:22
  there
• 1:01:22
  anything
• 1:01:23
  that
• 1:01:24
  you'd
• 1:01:25
  like
• 1:01:25
  to
• 1:01:25
  share
• 1:01:25
  that
• 1:01:26
  you
• 1:01:26
  said,
• 1:01:26
  gee,
• 1:01:26
  I
• 1:01:26
  wish
• 1:01:26
  Rick
• 1:01:27
  would
• 1:01:27
  have
• 1:01:27
  asked
• 1:01:27
  me
• 1:01:28
  that
• 1:01:28
  question.
• 1:01:30
  I
• 1:01:30
  should
• 1:01:30
  be
• 1:01:30
  more
• 1:01:31
  prepared
• 1:01:31
  for
• 1:01:31
  this
• 1:01:31
  because
• 1:01:31
  I
• 1:01:32
  know
• 1:01:32
  that
• 1:01:32
  you
• 1:01:32
  ask
• 1:01:33
  it
• 1:01:33
  and
• 1:01:34
  you
• 1:01:34
  ask
• 1:01:35
  that
• 1:01:35
  question.
• 1:01:35
  And
• 1:01:36
  I
• 1:01:37
  don't.
• 1:01:37
  I
• 1:01:37
  do
• 1:01:37
  have.
• 1:01:38
  Because
• 1:01:38
  I
• 1:01:38
  felt
• 1:01:39
  when
• 1:01:40
  I
• 1:01:40
  reached
• 1:01:40
  out
• 1:01:40
  to
• 1:01:40
  you
• 1:01:40
  about
• 1:01:41
  coming
• 1:01:41
  on
• 1:01:42
  this
• 1:01:42
  podcast,
• 1:01:42
  I
• 1:01:43
  feel
• 1:01:43
  that
• 1:01:43
  you
• 1:01:43
  are
• 1:01:43
  very
• 1:01:44
  down
• 1:01:44
  to
• 1:01:44
  earth
• 1:01:44
  and
• 1:01:45
  easy
• 1:01:45
  to
• 1:01:45
  talk
• 1:01:45
  to.
• 1:01:46
  But
• 1:01:46
  then
• 1:01:46
  you
• 1:01:47
  do
• 1:01:47
  have
• 1:01:47
  ideas
• 1:01:48
  of
• 1:01:48
  things
• 1:01:48
  that
• 1:01:48
  you
• 1:01:49
  have
• 1:01:49
  seen.
• 1:01:49
  So
• 1:01:50
  I
• 1:01:50
  did
• 1:01:50
  have
• 1:01:50
  a
• 1:01:51
  small
• 1:01:51
  question
• 1:01:51
  for
• 1:01:52
  you.
• 1:01:53
  Certainly
• 1:01:53
  is.
• 1:01:54
  You
• 1:01:54
  know,
• 1:01:55
  sometimes
• 1:01:55
  you
• 1:01:55
  reference
• 1:01:56
  caboose
• 1:01:56
  sitting
• 1:01:57
  behind
• 1:01:57
  you
• 1:01:57
  or
• 1:01:57
  whatever.
• 1:01:58
  And
• 1:01:59
  so
• 1:01:59
  I
• 1:01:59
  was
• 1:01:59
  wondering
• 1:02:00
  if
• 1:02:00
  you
• 1:02:00
  ever
• 1:02:01
  thought
• 1:02:01
  of
• 1:02:01
  loading
• 1:02:02
  these
• 1:02:02
  onto
• 1:02:03
  YouTube
• 1:02:04
  for
• 1:02:04
  people
• 1:02:04
  to
• 1:02:05
  watch
• 1:02:05
  the
• 1:02:06
  interviews.
• 1:02:07
  Oh,
• 1:02:07
  great
• 1:02:08
  question.
• 1:02:09
  And
• 1:02:09
  it's
• 1:02:09
  interesting
• 1:02:10
  because
• 1:02:10
  it's
• 1:02:10
  actually
• 1:02:11
  a
• 1:02:12
  page
• 1:02:12
  from
• 1:02:12
  your
• 1:02:12
  book
• 1:02:14
  is
• 1:02:15
  it's
• 1:02:15
  having
• 1:02:15
  the
• 1:02:16
  time
• 1:02:16
  because
• 1:02:17
  I
• 1:02:17
  had
• 1:02:17
  this
• 1:02:18
  huge
• 1:02:18
  list.
• 1:02:19
  When
• 1:02:19
  I
• 1:02:20
  do
• 1:02:20
  the
• 1:02:20
  podcast,
• 1:02:21
  I
• 1:02:21
  separate
• 1:02:21
  the
• 1:02:22
  audio
• 1:02:22
  from
• 1:02:22
  the
• 1:02:22
  video
• 1:02:23
  and
• 1:02:23
  I
• 1:02:24
  edit
• 1:02:24
  the
• 1:02:25
  audio.
• 1:02:26
  I
• 1:02:26
  still
• 1:02:27
  have
• 1:02:27
  the
• 1:02:27
  video,
• 1:02:28
  but
• 1:02:29
  then
• 1:02:29
  I
• 1:02:29
  would
• 1:02:30
  have
• 1:02:30
  to
• 1:02:30
  then
• 1:02:31
  edit
• 1:02:31
  the
• 1:02:32
  video
• 1:02:34
  and
• 1:02:34
  my
• 1:02:35
  wife
• 1:02:35
  says
• 1:02:36
  where
• 1:02:36
  the
• 1:02:36
  heck
• 1:02:37
  did
• 1:02:37
  you
• 1:02:37
  disappear
• 1:02:38
  to?
• 1:02:39
  Because
• 1:02:40
  the.
• 1:02:41
  The
• 1:02:41
  interview.
• 1:02:42
  I
• 1:02:42
  love
• 1:02:42
  the
• 1:02:42
  Interview
• 1:02:43
  part.
• 1:02:43
  It's
• 1:02:44
  so
• 1:02:44
  much
• 1:02:44
  fun.
• 1:02:44
  Then
• 1:02:45
  you've
• 1:02:45
  got
• 1:02:46
  hours
• 1:02:46
  to
• 1:02:46
  edit
• 1:02:47
  it.
• 1:02:47
  And
• 1:02:48
  so
• 1:02:49
  maybe
• 1:02:50
  someday,
• 1:02:51
  maybe
• 1:02:51
  if
• 1:02:51
  I
• 1:02:51
  hit
• 1:02:51
  the
• 1:02:52
  jackpot
• 1:02:52
  and
• 1:02:53
  I've
• 1:02:53
  got
• 1:02:53
  this
• 1:02:53
  whole
• 1:02:54
  library
• 1:02:54
  of
• 1:02:55
  video,
• 1:02:55
  I'll
• 1:02:56
  say,
• 1:02:56
  okay,
• 1:02:57
  time.
• 1:02:58
  So
• 1:02:59
  absolutely.
• 1:03:00
  I
• 1:03:00
  was
• 1:03:00
  just
• 1:03:00
  wondering
• 1:03:01
  about
• 1:03:01
  that.
• 1:03:01
  No,
• 1:03:02
  that's
• 1:03:02
  a
• 1:03:02
  great
• 1:03:02
  question.
• 1:03:03
  And
• 1:03:03
  when
• 1:03:04
  you
• 1:03:04
  get
• 1:03:04
  your
• 1:03:04
  10
• 1:03:04
  books
• 1:03:05
  done,
• 1:03:05
  I'll
• 1:03:05
  do
• 1:03:05
  it.
• 1:03:06
  Okay.
• 1:03:07
  Now,
• 1:03:08
  part
• 1:03:08
  two.
• 1:03:10
  I've
• 1:03:10
  never
• 1:03:10
  asked
• 1:03:10
  anybody
• 1:03:11
  this
• 1:03:11
  question,
• 1:03:11
  but
• 1:03:12
  because
• 1:03:13
  I
• 1:03:13
  now
• 1:03:13
  consider
• 1:03:13

  there.
• 1:03:47
  I
• 1:03:47
  started
• 1:03:47
  listening
• 1:03:48
  because
• 1:03:48
  when
• 1:03:49
  I

  to

  do
• 1:03:50
  this,
• 1:03:50
  I

  13
• 1:03:56
  minute
• 1:03:57
  drive

  to

  work
• 1:03:58
  back
• 1:03:58
  and

• 1:03:59
  and

  at

  podcasts
• 1:04:06
  and
• 1:04:06
  yours
• 1:04:06
  popped
• 1:04:06
  up.
• 1:04:07
  And
• 1:04:07
  then
• 1:04:07
  when

  car
• 1:04:09
  then

  was
• 1:04:09
  really
• 1:04:10
  nice
• 1:04:10
  just

  helped

• 1:04:33
  anybody.
• 1:04:34
  That's
• 1:04:34
  not
• 1:04:34
  the
• 1:04:35
  point
• 1:04:35
  of
• 1:04:35
  this.
• 1:04:36
  And
• 1:04:36
  some
• 1:04:36
  people
• 1:04:37
  might
• 1:04:37
  say,
• 1:04:37
  oh
• 1:04:38
  my
• 1:04:38
  goodness,
• 1:04:38
  it's
• 1:04:38
  an,
• 1:04:39
  it's
• 1:04:39
  59
• 1:04:40
  minutes
• 1:04:40
  or
• 1:04:40
  it's
• 1:04:41
  an
• 1:04:41
  hour
• 1:04:41
  and
• 1:04:41
  13
• 1:04:41
  minutes
• 1:04:42
  or
• 1:04:42
  whatever.
• 1:04:42
  But
• 1:04:43
  the
• 1:04:43
  beautiful
• 1:04:43
  thing
• 1:04:43
  about
• 1:04:44
  podcasts
• 1:04:45
  is
• 1:04:45
  you
• 1:04:46
  listen
• 1:04:46
  and
• 1:04:47
  then
• 1:04:47
  you
• 1:04:48
  get
• 1:04:48
  to
• 1:04:48
  work
• 1:04:48
  and
• 1:04:49
  your
• 1:04:49
  day
• 1:04:49
  goes
• 1:04:50
  on
• 1:04:50
  and
• 1:04:50
  then
• 1:04:50
  you
• 1:04:51
  say,
• 1:04:51
  maybe
• 1:04:51
  I'll
• 1:04:52
  listen
• 1:04:52
  on
• 1:04:52
  the
• 1:04:52
  way
• 1:04:52
  back
• 1:04:53
  or
• 1:04:53
  maybe
• 1:04:54
  I'll
• 1:04:54
  listen
• 1:04:54
  in
• 1:04:55
  a
• 1:04:55
  couple
• 1:04:55
  of
• 1:04:55
  days.
• 1:04:55
  It
• 1:04:56
  really
• 1:04:56
  doesn't
• 1:04:56
  matter.
• 1:04:57
  It's
• 1:04:57
  bookmarked
• 1:04:58
  itself
• 1:04:58
  and
• 1:04:59
  then
• 1:04:59
  you
• 1:04:59
  just
• 1:04:59
  pick
• 1:04:59
  up
• 1:05:00
  where
• 1:05:00
  you
• 1:05:00
  left
• 1:05:00
  off.
• 1:05:00
  And
• 1:05:01
  that's
• 1:05:01
  why
• 1:05:01
  I
• 1:05:01
  encourage
• 1:05:02
  people
• 1:05:02
  to
• 1:05:02
  know
• 1:05:03
  that,
• 1:05:04
  you
• 1:05:04
  know
• 1:05:04
  what,
• 1:05:05
  you
• 1:05:05
  don't
• 1:05:05
  have
• 1:05:05
  to
• 1:05:05
  digest
• 1:05:06
  the
• 1:05:06
  whole
• 1:05:06
  thing.
• 1:05:07
  Thing
• 1:05:07
  in
• 1:05:07
  one
• 1:05:07
  sitting
• 1:05:08
  in
• 1:05:08
  end
• 1:05:08
  because
• 1:05:09
  I
• 1:05:09
  think
• 1:05:10
  the
• 1:05:10
  way
• 1:05:10
  I
• 1:05:10
  ask
• 1:05:10
  the
• 1:05:11
  questions,
• 1:05:12
  it's
• 1:05:12
  like
• 1:05:13
  little
• 1:05:13
  chapters.
• 1:05:14
  So
• 1:05:14
  you're
• 1:05:15
  getting
• 1:05:15
  some
• 1:05:15
  advice
• 1:05:17
  on
• 1:05:18
  publication
• 1:05:19
  or
• 1:05:20
  website
• 1:05:21
  development
• 1:05:22
  or
• 1:05:22
  the
• 1:05:23
  writing
• 1:05:23
  process.
• 1:05:24
  The
• 1:05:24
  list
• 1:05:24
  goes
• 1:05:25
  on.
• 1:05:25
  And
• 1:05:25
  I
• 1:05:25
  know
• 1:05:26
  some
• 1:05:26
  people
• 1:05:26
  have
• 1:05:26
  short
• 1:05:27
  episodes
• 1:05:28
  that
• 1:05:28
  are
• 1:05:28
  only
• 1:05:28
  eight
• 1:05:28
  or
• 1:05:29
  nine
• 1:05:29
  minutes,
• 1:05:29
  but
• 1:05:30
  that's
• 1:05:30
  not
• 1:05:30
  a
• 1:05:30
  drive
• 1:05:31
  and
• 1:05:31
  I
• 1:05:31
  can't
• 1:05:31
  change
• 1:05:31
  it
• 1:05:32
  once
• 1:05:32
  it's
• 1:05:32
  over.
• 1:05:34
  I
• 1:05:34
  can't
• 1:05:34
  load
• 1:05:34
  another
• 1:05:34
  one
• 1:05:35
  while
• 1:05:35
  I'm
• 1:05:35
  driving,
• 1:05:35
  so
• 1:05:36
  I
• 1:05:36
  need
• 1:05:36
  it
• 1:05:37
  to
• 1:05:37
  be
• 1:05:37
  over
• 1:05:37
  the
• 1:05:37
  13
• 1:05:38
  minutes
• 1:05:38
  if
• 1:05:38
  I
• 1:05:38
  want
• 1:05:38
  to.
• 1:05:40
  Good
• 1:05:40
  point.
• 1:05:42
  I
• 1:05:42
  appreciate
• 1:05:43
  that
• 1:05:43
  so
• 1:05:44
  much.
• 1:05:44
  Shannon.
• 1:05:45
  Thank

  business
• 1:06:02
  first
• 1:06:03
  and
• 1:06:03
  then
• 1:06:04
  how
• 1:06:04
  it
• 1:06:04
  grew
• 1:06:05
  from
• 1:06:05
  there,
• 1:06:05
  and
• 1:06:06
  she
• 1:06:06
  was
