Interview with Authors Sue Fliess and Bethanie Murguia

Sue Fliess and I enjoyed our chat for World Read Aloud Day so much that we decided to do it again. This time we invited author/illustrator Bethanie Murguia to join us. Sue and Bethanie both have written books about choosing what to wear. Sue’s book is titled A Dress for Me!. Bethanie’s book is titled Zoe Gets Ready.

An Interview with Authors Sue Fliess and Bethanie Murguia

Sue and Bethanie talk about what inspired them to write their books, the publication process, and what they do to keep their skills as authors and illustrator fresh. They also share ideas for activities that you can do with your kids to go along with their books. Both A Dress for Me! and Zoe Gets Ready are a part of a series. Sue and Bethanie talk about how they created the series and how working serially differs from single stand alone books.

Watch the interview below.

More About the Books

I’ve included Amazon affiliate links, so if you’re interested in purchasing either of the books from Amazon, I get a commission.

A Dress for Me!

In A Dress for Me!, Hippo is looking to find the perfect new dress just in time for school to start. Which dress will she choose? One with jewels, a pink bow, beads and fringe, shiny sequins? This book would go well with a lesson on decision making.

Head over to Sue Fliess’s website and learn more about the book, watch a trailer, and read reviews.

Zoe Gets Ready

In Zoe Gets Ready, Zoe gets to decide what outfit to wear, but she’s having a hard time choosing. As she tries on different outfits, she imagines what her day will be like. Have fun traveling through Zoe’s imagination in this book.

Head over to Bethanie Murgia’s website to learn more about the book, watch a trailer, read reviews, and get activity ideas. You can dress Zoe up and decorate butterflies.
