Welcome back everyone. This is part 2 of my interview with amazing children's author, Melissa-Sue John and her daughters, Alyssa and Olivia.
I think it's wonderful that your children are involved with your books. You can all share ideas together. It must be such fun.
Tell us how you help your mom?
Olivia: I
like telling her about my experiences with acting and modeling. I help my mom
by giving her ideas and suggestions
Alyssa: I help
with editing and providing suggestions to
make the book more age appropriate and relatable. My mom is a professor so
sometimes she uses words that are too advanced for the age group we are
serving.

It's so exciting you're an actress and model, Olivia. You and your sister are adorable. I'm sure your mom values your advice when she's writing books.
What’s your favorite part of helping your mom with the
books?
Olivia: My
favorite part is seeing the story come to life once the book is illustrated. I love being a main character is a story.
Alyssa: I like
the visual concept. After the book is written,
I advise my mom which pictures to use to give the illustrators direction.
You both have a great deal of wisdom and you can advise your mom in different aspects of your books. Keep up the good work!
Do you think you’d like to be an author or illustrator when you grow up?
Olivia: Yes, I will still be an author when I grow up. We all have stories to tell.
It's been lovely spending time with you today Melissa-Sue, Alyssa, and Olivia. We'll be finishing our interview soon.
We enjoyed our time together, Deanie and we look forward to our next visit."

Having a mom as an author is certainly inspiration for those two girls!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. It's so exciting for them to be working with their Mom and they do so well together. I'm hoping to meet them in person sometime.
