Join us for a very fun interview with Peggy Consolver who is the author of Kasey’s Question: Who Will I Marry. Peggy shares the challenges of writing a children’s books even though it is only 144 words.
We interviewed Peggy a couple years ago and I recommend watching her interview on the More Than a Review blog. In that interview, she talks about her book; Shepherd, Potter, Spy and the Star Namer. Specifically how rich in biblical history it is.
Peggy shares about her daughter’s two books: How to Manage your Home without Losing your Mind and Decluttering at the Speed of Life. I have read and reviewed Decluttering at the Speed of Life and reviewed it on her website. A Slob Comes Clean is the website of Peggy’s daughter; Dana K White.
She reveals a helpful tidbit about using yellow on the pages.

Kasey’s Question: Who Will I Marry
This book captures a day in the life of two five-year-olds.
Though they are many miles and years apart, they will find each other when the time is right. Kacey’s Question… “Who Will I Marry?”. by Peggy Miracle Consolver and delightfully illustrated by Barbara Jones, captures the whimsical nature of five-year-olds and their zest for discovering, and explaining, the next big mystery in life.
Children ask the best questions. Having answers for their thoughtful questions that can matter for a lifetime, is the hard part. Mother’s answer to Kacey’s question is wisdom distilled from years of the author’s experience with her own daughter’s and grandson’s questions―twenty-five years apart. questions like, “Mommy, who will I marry?” or “How do starfish breathe?”
