WELL
WELL HER
WELL HER CHILDREN'S BOOKS HAVE SOLD FOUR AND A HALF MILLION COPIES AROUND THE WORLD AND SHE
LIVES RIGHT HERE IN SAN MARCOS.
SO WE HAVE OUR LOCAL AUTHOR
ILLUSTRATOR SELENA YOON
CREATING HUNDREDS OF BOOKS,
MANY OF THEM IF YOU HAVE KIDS
THEY'RE PROBABLY SITTING ON
YOUR BOOKSHELF. I KNOW I HAVE
QUITE A FEW OF YOURS AND YOUR
LATEST ONE KIKI AND JACK'S SO
EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
THIS SELENA. GOOD MORNING. GOOD
MORNING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING
ME. SO THIS BOOK LET'S GET TO
THIS ONE FIRST KIKI JACK'S YOU
ACTUALLY WORKED WITH THE QUEEN
OF TIDYING UP MARIEKE CONDO.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT WITH THIS
WOOD? WELL, MUCH LIKE MARY
CONDOS BOOK FOR ADULTS THE LIFE
CHANGING MAGIC OF TRADING UP OF
COURSE FOCUSES ON TIDYING AND
ORGANIZING BUT NOT IN SUCH AN
INSTRUCTOR GENTLE MANNER. IT'S
MORE IT'S MORE TO INSPIRE
TIDYING AND ORGANIZING WITH A
MESSAGE BEYOND JUST KEEPING
THINGS CLEAN. SO IT'S A BRANCH
OF A STORY AND IT GIVES I THINK
IT GIVES MORE OF A REASON MORE
MOTIVATION FOR CHILDREN TO TIDY
UP AFTER STORY OF THAT GOAL NOW
AND TO GET KIDS TO CLEAN. I
KNOW JUST THE SOUND OF THAT
PROBABLY MAKES KIDS THINK. NOW
I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT BUT
THIS IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP. TELL
US A LITTLE BIT MORE HOW DOES
THIS THEN TRANSLATE TO TIDYING
UP? RIGHT. WELL, IN THIS STORY
THERE'S TWO CHARACTERS KIKI
JACKSON ONE IS A BIT OF A
CLUTTER BUG AND THE OTHER ONE
IS VERY TIDY AND SHE HAS SO
MANY THINGS THAT EVENTUALLY HER
PHYSICAL THINGS GET IN THE WAY
LITERALLY AND PHYSICALLY IN THE
WAY OF HER BEING ABLE TO PLAY
WITH JACKSON. SO THAT IS THE
MOTIVATING FACTOR IN TRYING
HEIDI. AND JACK'S SORT OF
TEACHES HER THE WAY. AND SO IN
THE BOOK, YOU KNOW, KIDS CAN
FOLLOW ALONG AND SEE WHAT THEY
CAN DO TO CREATE MORE SPACE TO
PLAY FOR THEIR LIVES. OH, I
LOVE THAT MESSAGE. THAT'S SO
SWEET. AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE A
SHIRT FOLDING IN THIS BOOK.
THAT'S RIGHT. IN AND MURRAY
CONDO'S BOOK. SHE'S KNOWN FOR
HER SIGNATURE FOLDING KUMARI
WAY OF FOLDING CLOTHING AND SO
IN DON'T BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU CAN
LEARN HOW TO FOLD. BUT IN THE
BOOK FOR CHILDREN HERE I HAVE A
CHILD SHIRT THAT I WILL SHOW
YOU HOW TO FOLD LATER IF YOU
WOULD LIKE. LET'S DO IT NOW.
BECAUSE I MEAN I'VE WATCHED THE
MARIE KONDO SHIRT FOLDING AND
WE USE THAT FOR OUR LITTLE
GIRL'S DRAWERS BECAUSE THAT'S
THE ONLY WAY TO FIT IT ALL IN.
SO YEAH, COULD YOU SAY TO US
THAT GENERALLY KIDS HAVE
PROBABLY WAY MORE CLOTHING THAN
THEY EVEN NEED IN THEIR CLOSET
AND IT'S ALWAYS TRICKY TO TRY
TO FIT EVERYTHING IN INTO THEIR
JAWS SO YOU NEED JUST SORT OF
STUFF THEM IN. BUT ONE UNIQUE
WAY THAT SHE TEACHES PEOPLE HOW
TO FOLD CLOTHES AND TUCK THEM
AWAY AND IN BOXES AND SO HERE'S
A LITTLE CHILD'S SHIRT. I'LL
DEMONSTRATE FOR YOU. AND YOU
WANT TO DO THIS ON THE FLOOR.
I'M GOING TO DO THIS RIGHT HERE
SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU DO
IS ON THE FLOOR AND YOU FIGHT
IT THEIR HANDS AND THEN YOU
FOLD IT INTO THIRDS AND THIS IS
THE FIRST STEP AND YOU BRING
THE OTHER SIDE IN. NOW THE
SLEEVES LONG YOU FOLD THOSE
INTO THESE THESE ARE PRETTY
SHORT. SO I'M JUST GOING TO
KEEP BLACK AND THEN YOU BRING
THE BOTTOM SIDE UP TO THE TOP
ALMOST HALFWAY. I WOULD SAY
HALFWAY BUT SHE GETS TO LEAVE
ABOUT AN INCH ON TOP AND THEN
YOU FOLD AGAIN HALFWAY LIKE
THAT. AND SO YOU JUST A LITTLE
RECTANGLE LIKE ENVELOPE POCKETS
SO THERE'S NO YOU CAN FIT IT
INTO A LITTLE SHOE BOX. AND I
HAVE THE OTHER SHALL I
UNDERSTOOD THAT? FELICIA, WE
ALREADY GOT A TIME. BUT REAL
QUICK. HOW CAN PEOPLE GET A
HOLD OF YOUR BOOK? WELL, YOU
CAN GO TO MY WEBSITE AT SELENA
UNICOM AND YOU COULD SEE SOME
OPTIONS FOR PURCHASE. BUT THERE
ARE SO MANY YOU HAVE SO MUCH
TALENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
YOUR GIFT. YOU'RE AUTHOR AND
ILLUSTRATOR. IT IS AMAZING THAT
