S1: Welcome in San Diego. It's Jade Hindman today we're talking about a children's book about a yellow school bus that takes us on a journey. We'll talk with author and illustrator Lauren Long. This is KPBS Midday Edition. Connecting our communities through conversation. The yellow school bus is an iconic symbol in American culture.
S2: Jade , that was another surprise. So first of all , okay , so as a children's book author and illustrator , um , I always think of the visuals first. However , I just wrote this piece not really thinking about the what the book would look like now.
S1: Family support is so important. Well , you're going to have this event at the San Diego Central Library. Tell us about that.
