Q1. What three words best describe your book If You Were Me and Lived on…Mars?
Interesting, surprising, fun.
Q2. Grab a copy of If You Were Me and Lived on…Mars and answer the following:
-Favorite line(s)? If you were me and lived on Mars, you would be living there many years in the future, perhaps in the year 2054.
-Favorite illustration? The illustration of the kids playing basketball on the planet is my favorite. The net is floating.
-Favorite fact you learned about Mars while writing the book? Oh, there are so many. I loved learning about Mars’ moons Phobos and Deimos, whose names mean fear and panic. I enjoyed learning about its longer orbit, the season as well as the sudden dust storms that would torment people living there. The channels were interesting too. Could they be carved by an ancient civilization or are they part of nature?
Q3. Other than Mars, what planet would you love to visit (if you could) and why?
Saturn. I love a nice ring.
Q4. Fill in the blanks:
I’m really awesome at being a grandmother.
I’m really embarrassed to admit I can’t tell my right from left, ever.
The last great children’s book I read was the Harry Potter series
Q5. If you were to create and bake a cupcake inspired by If You Were Me and Lived on…Mars, what would it look and taste like, and what would you call it?
Red velvet with orange flavored icing and a red hot on the top swirl.
