An Important First Review
It's late January 2017. Publication for I'm a Big Brother Now , my first picture book, is set for May 2017. But before files are sent to the printer, I wanted to get some honest feedback. I decided to ask my favorite seven-year-old, London, for a critique. A promise of an exclusive look at a book in progress was enough to get her to agree. Here's a bit of our conversation following her first read: Me: What's did you think? London: I liked it. It's a good book. Me: Why did you like it? London: Umm, not a lot of words. Not a lot of HARD words. Me: Was there anything you didn't like about it? London: No. There was nothing I didn't like. Me: So there's nothing we can improve? London: No. (long pause) Uhh, it needs more color in the background Me: So you would tell all your friends to buy this book? London: Yes! Me: Did you learn anything new? London: Siblings are a lot of work!
