On Wednesday, June 8th at 3:20 a.m., my family was packed and ready to drive to Indianapolis Airport for our 6 a.m. flight. (I'll save you from reading about the revolt my body lodged against me during the previous hours.) My husband, two teenage boys and I went on a five day vacation</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">to New York City</span><span style="background-color: white;">. I should also mention that our idea of a vacation is to cover as much ground as possible and see everything! So on virtually no sleep, we landed in NYC at 8 a.m. were ready to run.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 24px;">Our hotel was located in the Flower District. After breakfast, we walked through a tunnel of flowers and plants to the metro station. In addition to the vivid colors, I felt the mist from a shop keeper's hose, heard muffled cars and taxis, and smelled the roses.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; line-height: 150%;">A family car ride becomes boring, so boring that "a boy feels time go backward--into the time of pirates! Of princesses! Of
dinosaurs! The boy was just trying to get to his grandmother's birthday party,
but instead he's traveling through Ancient Egypt and rubbing shoulders with Ben
Franklin. When time flies, who knows where--or when--he'll end up."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: right;"><b>The story begins</b> by inviting readers to come along to Grandma's birthday party. Turning the page, readers are now inside the family's car. Through the boy's voice the whole story is encapsulated on the first spread.</span><br />
<i>The care trip to visit Grandma is always exciting!</i><br />

<b style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; text-align: right;">The most amazing part</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: right;"> <b>of this story</b> is the way readers interact with this book. Pages don't always flip from left to right. And the story doesn't continue in the same direction either. As a writer, I'm intrigued by these time changing page turns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: right;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: right;">This book will appeal to those who enjoyed OH NO! NOT AGAIN! (or how I built a time machine to save history) (or at least my history grade) by MacBarnett and Dan Santat.</span><br />

rhyme, like the one I'm reviewing.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">In
my last post, I listed research questions I consider while reading oodles of picture books. I'm excited to discover mentor texts that inform my writing. And I love finding books
that break current picture book rules. In a recent stack of library books, I
found a </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">mentor text and</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> the ultimate rule breaker wrapped up in one story.</span></span></div>

we have a character. But this passive sentence tells us what’s going to happen and how Mr. Warbler looks. Lights flash - RULE BREAKER. But
check out the illustration. Where is Mr. Warbler? As you turn the pages, neither Mr. Warbler or the other characters pop up in the illustrations. This may not appeal preschoolers who need pictures of the characters to help them navigate the story.</span><br />

Most rhyming manuscripts that editors receive are really, REALLY bad! That’s why rhyming is discouraged. Frequently authors focus on the rhyme rather than the story. Often they don’t apply meter and poetic techniques with the rigor needed to polish their manuscripts to their full “rhyming shine” potential. Learn how to write professional rhyme that revolutionizes the way RPBs are perceived and celebrated!</div>

Isabel and her family move to the United States, Isabel misses all the things
she left behind in Mexico, especially her aunt Lupita and hearing people speak
Spanish. But she also experiences some wonderful new things--her first snow
storm and a teacher who does not speak Spanish but has a big smile. Even
better, Papa and her brother Chavo help her turn a big box into her own quiet
place, where she keeps her books and toys and writes letters to Aunt Lupita. As
she decorates and adds more and more on to her quiet place, it is here that
Isabel feels the most at home in her new country while she learns to adjust to
the changes in her life.”</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Illustrator Eliza Wheeler’s posted “The WHEREVER YOU GO Illustration Journey” (</span><a href="http://picturebookbuilders.com/2015/04/the-wherever-you-go-illustration-journey" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">http://picturebookbuilders.com/2015/04/the-wherever-you-go-illustration-journey</a><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">). Great post! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It appeared the author/illustrator roles were kept separate. I reached out to Author Pat Zietlow Miller to learn more.</span><br />

you include any illustration notes in your manuscript? If not, when do you use
illustration notes?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Thank you
for your question. You are right that Eliza Wheeler and I did not interact at
all while she was working on the art for the story. So I was thrilled to read
her blog post about the process, as well. I am not artistic, so I was
fascinated to see exactly how she created something so beautiful.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I did not
include any illustration notes in the text for WHEREVER YOU GO when my agent
submitted it to editors. I purposefully wanted to leave it open to
interpretation, and I knew it could be illustrated several ways.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">So when
Connie Hsu was interested in acquiring the manuscript, we talked on the phone
about different directions the art could possibly take. Then, she and Little,
Brown art director Patti Ann Harris put their heads together and found Eliza
Wheeler and I had no further involvement until I saw her lovely sketches.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Sometimes,
people hear that and are concerned. “But weren’t you worried the art wouldn’t
be what you wanted?” they ask. And my answer is honestly, “No.”</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I usually
don’t see pictures in my head when I write, and I am more than willing to let a
professional illustrator and art director take my story and make it even better
by applying all the knowledge and expertise they have that I do not.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I have, on
rare occasions, used an illustration note with my original story. But only when
reading the text alone makes a plot point in the story unclear. And then, it’s
more of a clarification like: (“The father is now hopping, too.”) rather than
specifics about how the art should look.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Pictures
books are collaborations, with each person bringing very specific skills to the
project. So I trust what the other folks involved are doing just like they
trust me. I wouldn’t want the illustrator to tell me how to write the story, so
I wouldn’t tell him or her or her how the art should be. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Leo works really hard to get things done. But
Leo encounters a problem: no matter how hard he works to get things done, he
always finds more things to do! He decides it might be easier to enlist the
help of more Leos to help him get everything done. The work keeps growing and
two Leos quickly progress to ten Leos, with a never-ending amount of work. He
finally decides to take a nap and has a dream. The other Leos catch him and get
upset with him for doing something that was not on the list. Leo finally
decides that he is content with just one of him so he can have time to dream."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; line-height: 150%;">In
City Street Beat, a young girl travels along a city's twisty road on her way to
a friend’s house. Together, they embark on an adventure, taking in all the
city’s sights and sounds. They hear the tippy, tappy clack of high heels on the
sidewalk; the strumming and drumming of a three-piece band; the flipping and
flapping of dancing pigeons; and more. The girls move and groove to the city’s hip-hop beat using all five senses
until at last it’s time to say good-bye.</span><br />

same park, and both have </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">pesky little brothers. But while Sofia's fridge at home is full of milk and
eggs and tortillas and cheese and lettuce and jam and even half a can of
dog food, Maddi's fridge is empty -with just a small container of milk for her
brother, Ryan.</span><br />
<br /><span style="line-height: 150%;">
“Why doesn’t your mom go the grocery store?” Sofia asked.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 150%;">
“We don’t have any money.”</span><br /><span style="line-height: 150%;">
“What if you get hungry?”</span><br /><span style="line-height: 150%;">
“We have some bread,” Maddi said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 150%;">Sofia promises Maddi she won't tell, but she wants to help. Sofia sneaks food for Maddi in her backpack. </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">Even though</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> fish and eggs
are good for people, they aren't very good for backpacks. Despite Sofia's very best efforts, Maddi's fridge is still empty.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Each day at the park,
Maddi encourages Sofia to climb a wall. It wasn't until Maddi
offers a hand to Sofia that Sofia could make it successfully to the top of the
climbing wall. A lesson in "friends helping friends."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Then, one day, Sofia breaks down, telling her
mom about Maddi. The mama is quick to bring groceries to Maddi's family. At first Maddi is a little mad at Sofia, but quickly forgives
her after they talk about the importance of friends helping out friends.</span></span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: #323333; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 150%;">When
Maple is tiny, her parents plant a maple tree in her honor. She and her tree
grow up together, and even though a tree doesn’t always make an ideal playmate,
it doesn’t mind when Maple is in the mood to be loud—which is often. Then Maple
becomes a big sister, and finds that babies have their loud days, too.
Fortunately, Maple and her beloved tree know just what the baby needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="background: white; color: #323333; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 150%;">Maple
and Willow do everything together. They love playing outside throughout the
whole year, welcoming the sun, rain, leaves, and snow. But it’s not always
sunshine and rainbows, because sometimes big sisters can be bossy—and sometimes
little sisters can be frustrating—and even the best of friends need a break
from each other . . . at least until they can no longer bear to
be apart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 150%;">As the older sister, Maple likes to make the rules. Willow likes
to do things a little different. This causes some tears. But they can't stay
mad at each other for long.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

a variety of emotions and interests. They are not one thing through each story.
And Lori Nichols allows her characters to make mistakes and get
hurt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
