What do you feel is the toughest part of

writing and publishing?

Uri: The toughest part of writing is

developing an idea for a book into a finished

book with a truly good story.

What can writers and illustrators do in a

picture book to keep kids turning the pages?

Uri: Write good, moving stories. Write from

the heart to the heart, not from the brain to

the brain.
