I am so proud to repost from my writer's site, this interview I did with Tracy Vonder Brink for Children's Book Insider in April of 2025. sharonoblumbergauthor.com/author-inter...

We're honored to have two #kidlit legends interviewed in this month's issue of CBI, the wonderful Lois Lowry and Katherine Paterson. We'll share some of their wisdom over the next few days.

"If I sit very-very still - they won't notice me"

A killdeer bird is chasing a turkey vulture for getting too close to the Killdeer's nest, around a local lake near me. This is part of the setting for a picture book I'm working on.

Similar to my developing picture book. Homeowners or park workers imbedded stakes into the ground, so that the lawn mowers would see them. Four eggs securely rest, (if you look carefully) in the center. The parent birds sometimes step aside to cool the eggs from excessive heat.

Milkweed-the only plant Monarch Butterflies and caterpillars need and eat. In my picture book manuscript, Perla talks about this to one of her classmates in Perla And Her Flying Backpack-An Idea Takes Flight. (photo credit, permission by Terry Murphy on Pixabay.)
