Thanks for watching this interview. "The Kids' Bookshelf" is a channel for adults looking for age-appropriate books for the children in their lives. The series features interviews with authors and illustrators of children's books including picture books, chapter books, and middle-grade books. Viewers will learn about the inspiration for the books, what themes are explored in the books, and see sample illustrations. My goal is to give you enough information to decide if the book would be a good addition to your child's library. The series also provides a sneak peek into the creative process of the authors and illustrators. I requested and was provided with a copy of the book, but this video is not sponsored.
