And I think it's beautiful that her mom made special books for her sister. I'd like to be that kind of mom- one that sees my children's needs and does something about it.

Thank you for sharing ...What a fantastic interview. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and insight. Chime is, hands down, one of my favorite books from last year and has made me want to read all of FB's books. Franny Billingsley gave an interview (online) about the creation and crafting of that book and gave much credit to her gifted editor. Certainly not a "so what" book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447701441177564869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589275687987465216.post-23209888277742670192012-04-25T11:06:14.890-07:002012-04-25T11:06:14.890-07:00You completely sold me on Three Times Lucky and ho...You completely sold me on Three Times Lucky and hooray for KL Going's debut picture book.

But I'll remember mostly the touching story about Kathy and her mom creating books for Jen. It'll be nice if the book about the Mouse with the jingle bells on the Elf's slippers can be published now. Or even better, a picture book telling the story of a sister and her mom creating books for the younger legally blind sister. It's a touching story. Both of you know the market for picture books, and if there are not enough picture books about kids with disabilities, like blindness, this storyline will be welcome by families with kids like that.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589275687987465216.post-14212083763335379652012-04-24T23:10:42.663-07:002012-04-24T23:10:42.663-07:00I will have to read Three Times Lucky.

It was one of those books that made me physically ill to read but that I couldn't put down.<br /><br />Thanks for this interview, Kathy and Susan! I've seen some advance interviews with Sheila Turnage about THREE TIMES LUCKY, so I'm happy to hear that one's coming out soon. Looking forward to checking it out!Krista Van Dolzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830193414560232842noreply@blogger.com
