Thanks for agreeing to this interview, Miss Lerner. OK, so I have a few questions. First, when did you know you wanted to write children's books?
Well, I studied creative writing in college, but after I graduated I worked in advertising. It wasn't until I had my own children that I got interested in children's books.
Did you write one for your kids?
Yes, I did. My best friend drew the pictures for me.
And did they like it?
They loved it. A friend of my husband saw a copy in our home and he showed it to a publisher that he knew. They published it that year. The next year, I wrote 3 more books. Since the beginning, I have had a total of 8 published.
