A
Welcome
to
well-read
a
program
about
a
little
bit
of
this
and
a
little
bit
of
that
at
your
Ames
Public
Library
hi
I'm
Jerri
hide
you
services,
manager
at
your
Public,
Library
and
I'm
here
to
ask
you
the
question
today:
how
do
you
think
these
books
get
on
the
shelves
not
after
we
received
them,
but
before
they
get
printed?
What
kind
of
process?
What
kind
of
journey?
A
What
kind
of
stories
does
each
of
those
books
have
with
their
author
without
with
their
illustrator
and
just
in
general,
the
book
and
the
publisher
whether
self-published
or
published,
with
me
today,
I
have
one
of
those
people
that
are
going
to
answer
that
question.
Those
questions
for
us
and
both
through
experience
and
through
the
whole
process
and
surrender.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself
and
then
we'll
get
into
the
books
and
the
reading
and
the
and
the
words
that
go
with
that
sure.
B
B
B
A
Co-Authored
right,
but
since
that
time,
you've
had
several
books
that
have
been
just
yourself
authoring
the
book,
but
I
can
remember
I
think
it
was
like
five
or
six
years
ago
that
I
heard
you
speak
for
the
first
time
about
publishing
and
your
journey
along
that
publishing
story.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
this
because
this
didn't
just
happen
overnight?
This
is
quite
a
long
story.
So
can
you
share
some
of
those
I
think
it
was
a
journey
of
ups
and
downs
right,
pretty.
B
A
B
Do
a
little
bit
along
the
way
and
that's
kind
of
what
I
did
it
takes
a
lot
of
hard
work.
I
can
tell
you
that
and
a
lot
of
revising
and
talking
to
friends
and
other
writers
and
illustrators
and
asking
them
that
about
the
feedback
and
trying
to
listen
to
their
feedback
and
not
try
to
get
defensive
about
your
personal
work.
You.
A
B
You
learn
to
listen,
you
learn
to
listen
and
put
those
walls
down,
because
once
you
put
the
wall
down
and
you're
open
to
those
suggestions,
I
don't
know
what
happens,
but
something
happens
because
the
ideas
and
the
brainstorming
just
start
flowing
and
people
will
give
you
brilliant
ideas
and
they
will
make
you
look
brilliant
with
their
idea.
So
if
you
just
listen
to
them,
I,
don't
know
it's
a
it's
a
joint
process
so.
A
B
B
B
A
B
B
You
think
they
could
come
up
with
something
more
clever
in
acronym,
but
I
went
to
a
conference.
I
submitted
some
poems
to
be
critiqued
by
an
editor
and
she
I
thought
this
was
the
only
one
she
might
like,
but
I
submitted
a
bunch
of
poems,
because
it's
so
few
words
and
if
I
just
handed
her,
you
know
fifty
words
on
a
page.
She
might
have.
B
You
know
that
and
I
think
she
might
have
thought
that
anyway,
you
know
what
you
know
what
the
heck,
but
when
I
talked
with
her
I,
told
her
my
vision
for
the
illustrations
which
you're
not
supposed
to
do,
but
I
did
because
I
don't
think
you
could
have
really
understood
it
without
me
and-
and
she
said
oh
I-
never
thought
of
it
that
way,
because
she
didn't
think
of
it
as
a
picture
book.
So
in
that
instance
she's.
B
B
A
B
Absolutely
because
they
are
the
ones
that
acquire
the
book,
so
if
they
don't
want
it
or
if
they
share
it
with
their
committee
and
the
committee
rejects
that
you
know
you're
you're
out
so
and
they
are
the
part
they
are
the
publisher.
Basically
I
mean
they
work
for
the
publishing
house.
So
yeah,
it's
a
it's
and
I
can't
call
them
my
friends,
although
I'd
like
to
maybe
someday,
but
it's
more
of
a
business
relationship
at
first
and.
A
B
Originally
Lois
Ehlert
of
Chicka
Chicka
Boom
Boom
was
supposed
to
be
the
illustrator
and
then
it
would
have
been
a
companion
book
because
it's
boom
boom
and
it's
the
same
publishing
house
and
editor
that
does
the
board
book
for
for
the
boom
boom.
And
so
that
was
the
plan
originally
and
I
think
it
would
have
done
a
lot
better
if
but
for
different
reasons
she
backed
out
and
they
had
to
find
a
different
illustrator
and
but.
A
In
case
you
don't
know
what
a
Caldecott
award
is
is
one
of
the
the
highest
awards
that
a
picture
book
or
an
illustrator
can
get
for
their
illustrations
and
how
that
illustration
works
with
the
words
and
you
know,
I
enhances
the
story
along,
so
the
Caldecott
award
is
a
very
prestigious
award
and
I
know
that
both
of
your
books
have
had
Caldecott
award
winning
authors.
It
was.
B
A
B
B
B
Blue
sky
and
it
blue
sky
was
my
title
and
somebody
else
changed.
It
I
don't
even
know
where,
along
the
way
it
got
changed,
but
that
I
got
connected
with
dial
penguin
through
an
agents
and
at
the
time
that
I
wrote
it
five
years
ago.
I
did
not
have
an
agent,
but
I
was
looking
for
one
and
I
had
submitted
some
other
things
to
her
and
I
said
well,
hey
I,
just
wrote
three
more
can
I,
send
them
to
you,
and
blue
sky
happened
to
be
one
of
them
and
she
never
commented
on
it.
B
So
I
thought
she
didn't
like
it,
because
it's
personal
work.
It
doesn't
necessarily
appeal
to
other
people.
You
don't
know
what
people
will
like
her
won't
like
and
she
never
commented
on
it,
but
then,
as
she
became
my
agent
and
she
sent
it
out
and
notes
to
me.
So
it
was
a
surprise
when
I
got
I.
Think
I
got
three
rejections
from
editors,
and
at
that
point
we
review
to
see.
B
A
B
B
A
A
typical
publishing
type
of
author
illustrator,
which
I've
always
found
amazing
in
all
my
years
of
being
a
librarian
that
just
seems
so
off-base
to
me,
because
you
know
on
both
sides.
You
have
different
thought
processes
and
I
would
think
that
would
be
a
process
as
well
yeah.
It
isn't.
So
it
is
one
of
those
things
in
the
publishing
world
that
I
think
possibly
could
be
changing
now,
but
it
has
been
rooted
in
that
that
history
of
publication
I
would.
A
B
A
Kind
of
trying
to
give
us
a
clue
in
the
illustrations
could
your
trying
to
do
that
as
well
and
and
then
at
the
end,
are
on
the
other
side.
Our
back
cover
tells
us
what
they've
been
looking
at
and
so
I
think.
That's
just
such
a
fabulous
way
of
ending
the
story,
because
you
know
our
pages
are
our
cover.
A
A
That
here
at
the
library,
so
look
at
our
calendar
for
that
it's
toward
the
end
of
August
and
it's
a
book
signing
again.
You
know
this
is
a
separate
type
of
book.
The
the
three
that
you've
done
before
are
all
sure
bugs
this
is
on
the
board
book
because
of
the
thick
covers.
Yes,
so
quickly
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
this
book
about.
B
Line
and
I
wrote
lines
as
a
picture
book.
It
ended
up
being
a
board
book
and
again
that's
kind
of
out
of
my
hands.
It
just
depends
on
what
editor
picks
it
up
and
actually
my
agent.
She
she
kind
of
promoted
it
in
that
way,
but
it's
a
very
again
very
simple,
I
I
kind
of
downloaded
the
idea,
it's
my,
but
for
me
personally,
it's
the
favorite,
my
favorite
thing
that
I've
ever
written
I
just
love
it
so
much.
B
It's
very
simple,
just
like
blue
sky
white
stars,
but
it's
very
complex
at
the
same
time
and
I
think
the
presentation
is
August.
26
and
I
will
talk
a
lot
about
what
the
definition
of
a
line
is
and
all
the
complexities
about
a
line
and
the
places
you
can
go
with
a
line
that
lead
you
all
the
way
up
to
Einstein
and
his
theory
of
relativity.
So,
even
though
it's
a
stem
book,
and
so
even
though
it
appears
to
be
simple,
it's
very
I
think
it's
very
complex
at
the
same
time.
Well,.
B
B
B
B
B
A
Place
to
start
introducing
those
those
types
of
concepts,
so
what's
our
vendor
