Kristi's Book Nook Author Highlight Interview:
What’s next for the Bumble Brothers?
In book #3 (Frabbit: The Birth of a Superhero), the brothers are obsessed with acquiring the first ever Frabbit comic book, a rare collector’s item. But it’s $40 and they only have $4. This leads them to try some very silly money-making schemes.
If the Bumble Brothers are twins, what made you decide to make them look so different?
I like them being fraternal twins because if they were identical, it would be hard for the readers (and me) to tell them apart.
What will kids learn from this new Bumble Brothers book?
Let’s see…what will
they learn…good question. I guess they’ll learn that:
- Perseverance works
in achieving one's goals
- Don’t be afraid of
nature
- It’s hard to keep a “secret” clubhouse a secret when you can’t stop talking about it
Will you be doing any book tours?
Sponsored by Northshire Bookstore, I visited three elementary schools in the Troy, NY area.
Will you be visiting any schools? If so, which ones?
Yes, I’ve been doing a bunch of terrific school visits. So far, I’ve been to Madison Primary (Madison, Virginia), Otsego Elementary (Dix Hill, NY), and George A. Jackson Elementary School (Jericho, NY). In the next few weeks, I’ll be visiting Strelitz Academy (Virginia Beach, Virginia), and Sylvan Ave. Elementary School (Bayport, NY).
What will parents and teachers love most about this new book?
I hope that parents and teachers will love to see children being so attracted to the humor of the Bumble Brothers and that they’ll want to read it again and again – and then, more importantly, they’ll want to read a diverse selection of books.
What's your next project?
I’m working on a
(hopefully) funny picture book about turkeys.
