Ann Patchett on writing picture books

C-SPAN C-SPAN — 1min

C-SPAN’s “America’s Book Club” — Author Ann Patchett explains why she likes writing picture books: “When I go on book tour for my books, I’m a big deal.

When I go on book tour for a book I’ve done with [illustrator] Robin Preiss Glasser, I am the person standing in the back with a sheep puppet on my hand.

And the kids, it’s like Bono has come into first grade.

They lose their minds over her.”
