I was pleased to be interviewed by journalist Deborah Kalb about my new book MY FRIEND FROM OUTER SPACE. She has posted it on her blog Book Q&As with Deborah Kalb this week. Deborah Kalb interviews a lot of authors and I am happy to join the list. It is always good to have more publicity! Thank you Deborah!
Here are the questions she asked me. Check out her blog for the answers!1. A version of your book My Friend from Outer Space was initially published in 1981. How did this new graphic novel version of the book come about?2. What are the main similarities and differences between the two versions?3. What do you think Paige Arnold's illustrations add to the story?4. What do you hope kids take away from the book?5. What are you working on now?6. Anything else we should know?
