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.
