Guess what? It’s time for another #ChatWithThePBLady
Today, I’m talking to Jess Hernandez about her book FIRST DAY OF UNICORN SCHOOL.
Jenny: I loved your book FIRST DAY OF UNICORN SCHOOL. In the book, Milly the donkey wears a party hat to look like a Unicorn. What item would you use as a unicorn horn?
Jess: An ice cream cone, especially one of those chocolate dipped ones. That way I could have it as a snack later.
Jenny: What would be your favorite part of Unicorn School?
Jess: Probably dragon-taming class. I hope I can ride them.
Okay, now time for some fun this or that questions…
Jenny: Cake or ice cream
Jess: ice cream. ALL the ice cream.
Jenny: Ketchup or mustard
Jess: ketchup
Jenny: Ocean or mountains
Jess: mountains. Sand is the devil.
Jenny: Dancing or singing
Jess: Singing
Jenny: Walking or bike riding
Jess: Walking
Jenny: Tell us anything you want us to know about FIRST DAY OF UNICORN SCHOOL.
Jess: On one hand, it’s a book about first day jitters, fitting in, and feeling like an imposter. On the other hand, it’s also a book about educational parity and who’s allowed in certain spaces, all while making jokes about plungers and camel spit. (Which is apparently vomit — I didn’t know that when I drafted the book!)
