The Author<\/b>
\n<\/b>Catherine Bailey is the author of multiple picture books, including <\/span>Harbor Bound<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Mind Your Monsters<\/span><\/i>. For more, please visit catherinebaileybooks.com.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DinosThe Book<\/b>
\n<\/b>Rex is a dinosaur with a rough, tough crew. But when a yoga-loving dinosaur comes to town, Rex and his fierce friends discover there\u2019s more to strength than big muscles and bad attitudes. This fun-filled story features timely themes about kindness, friendship, and being able to see past our differences.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Has your book taken on a new meaning in the world\u2019s current circumstances? Is there anything you would have included in your book if you were writing it now?<\/b><\/p>\n

Dinos Don\u2019t Do Yoga <\/span><\/i>was written back during the calm and quiet of 2018. At the time, it was simply a funny story about a grumpy T. rex. Today we are living in a very different world. Things have changed dramatically in terms of how people interact with each other<\/span>\u2014<\/span>from social distancing to increased activism. <\/span><\/p>\n

So now when I read <\/span>Dinos Don\u2019t Do Yoga<\/span><\/i>, the relationships between the characters are more meaningful. I hope my readers see kindness, acceptance, and connection (in addition to a funny story!). I also hope that the book inspires children to explore yoga as a physical means of dealing with the stress of these crazy times. Yoga<\/a> is a beautiful way to get back to a happy mental space.<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, if dinos can do it<\/span>\u2014<\/span>so can we!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Q&A<\/p>\n

Send us a photo of you and your pet, and let us know if your pet had any role in helping you write your book!<\/b><\/p>\n

Here we have a snapshot of the world\u2019s most annoyed cat. I decided to share this particular picture because it reminded me of the <\/span>Dinos Don\u2019t Do Yoga<\/span><\/i> cover. The illustrator of the book, Alex Willmore, brilliantly contrasted the highly disgruntled Rex (complete with eye twitch!) with his blithely happy costar, Sam. I laugh every time I see that artwork! <\/span><\/p>\n

The same is true for this photograph of myself and our family cat, Chloe. This picture was taken right after her first (and probably last) bath. In my defense, I only bathed her because she had a small flea problem. She still has not forgiven me.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is something about you that doesn\u2019t make it into your author bio? <\/b><\/p>\n

\"bailey<\/p>\n

My author biography contains all sorts of fun tidbits<\/span>, <\/span>but it doesn\u2019t mention this one cool thing about me: I am kid-sized! By which I mean I\u2019m very short for my age. You cannot tell from (most) pictures, but even though I am an official middle-aged grown-up, I am only 4\u20198\u201d tall. That is about the size of the average second grader!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So why do I mention it? What\u2019s so great about being super small? Well, a lot of things! But best of all is that it makes me empathetic and mindful of other people\u2019s differences. And that makes me a better writer. For example, it was easy for me to create the characters of Rex (challenged by his petite arms) and Sam (a true \u201coutsider\u201d) in Dinos Don\u2019t Do Yoga<\/i>. It is true what they say\u2014great things come in small packages.<\/span><\/p>\n
