Imagine sitting down with your favorite author and asking any question you want. What would you say? Students in one California elementary school had this very opportunity while interviewing Adam Rubin, author of Dragons Love Tacos, Those Darn Squirrels, Secret Pizza Party, and other entertaining tales. These curious kindergartners wanted to know how Adam thinks of his ideas, where he writes, when he started writing, how dragons blow smoke from their snouts, and why he chose to put dragons together with tacos! Adam’s answers will help budding writers understand that ideas come from everywhere, you can write anywhere, and the words and pictures have to be sent somewhere to be made into a book. Let Adam’s words inspire your young writer, and you may be on your way to unlocking the next children’s best seller!

- read an interview with a famous children’s author
