Celine Kiernan:
I picked your book because there was a little brown girl on the cover, like my daughter, Summer. I'm trying to write a book on my MA at Bath Spa with girls like Mop and Summer.I learnt a lot about how to make ethical points without sounding didactic from you. I'm writing a report on the lack of diversity in children's picture books. How did you come to chose to write from the POV of a child of black and white parents?

That you wrote from a POC's POV must have been a deliberate response to a personal stand. Could you get back to me and discuss how publishers encouraged you, and how the cover illustration was so important to marketing? For my MA report on Diversity in chn's bks I need to discuss how publishers/ writers are meeting the needs of a society that needs to embrace diversity so that is can become a norm. zoecrosse@aol.com
