Interview with Mini Mysteries for Minors author, Karl Beckstrand
P: She Doesn't Want the Worms! Ella no quiere los gusanos: A Mystery (in English & Spanish) is a very original story; where did you get the idea? KB: "I just had this vision of a girl being offered all kinds of creepy crawlies and being un-phased by them. When the left-field ending came to me--it was so twisted--I had to run with it."
P: The illustrations are stunning. Who concocted those wonderful almost-mosaic images? KB: "Pennsylvania artist, David Hollenbach."
P: This book is part of a series of books? KB: Yes, Mini Mysteries for Minors--even little kids like a good mystery!
P: There's a lot packed in those pages, will kids catch everything? KB: "That's the great thing about kids and books; if you give them enough interesting things, they will read and re-read to get every juicy detail--and new ideas of their own."
P: Why bilingual or Spanish options? KB: "I learned Spanish while living abroad in South America. I want to reach more people--give them entertaining ways to get lifelong skills like reading, language, counting, finding and creating.
P. Who do you hope will buy your book--is there a target audience? KB: "Some of my books are for ages 2 - 8 years; but a bilingual book can be useful to anyone who's learning a language. The pictures, pronunciation guide, and bilingual text (if you get that version) all aid comprehension. Not only do young kids get a fun story, older ones can search and count critters, even adult language students can use it to increase vocabulary."
P: So an entire family could enjoy this book? KB: "Absolutely--finding, language and secrets to discover online; it makes a great family activity book."
P: Give us a glimpse of the story; could you share a portion? KB: "The fly she hates, but tolerates it (like a sour neighbor) ... The mantis makes her motionless ... the moth has got the wrong address; the crickets make her sleepy."
P: What's your favorite part? KB: "Aside from the vivid images, I like the girl's laid-back attitude toward all the critters--and the twist at the end."
P: What do you hope that families will get out of your books? KB: "I think kids and adults like clever stories--at least I do--and lots of laughs."
P: You've had some good press! KB: Yes, Midwest Book review--and one about to appear in ForeWord Magazine; our Banana cookbook was featured on TV and on the Horn Book's blog review.
