Tuesday, November 11, 2014 at 3:07PM By Debbie Ridpath Ohi, I'M BORED illustrator
Last week, I did a Skype visit with a class of second graders at A.Blair McPherson School in Edmonton, Alberta about I'M BORED, a picture book written by Michael Ian Black and illustrated by yours truly. So much fun! I read I'M BORED to the class, talked about the process, wrote an I'M BORED song with help from the students, gave them a drawing demo.
During the Q&A, one of the students asked me a question I couldn't answer:
Q. Why does the Potato like flamingos so much?
I told the students I'd ask the author, and here's Michael Ian Black's answer:
A. Because he saw one once on an old television show about Miami and thought to himself, "One day I would love to go to sunny Miami and hang out with those crazy-looking birds." Thought that was self-explanatory.
So now you all know. :-)
If you'd like a free Skype classroom visit about I'M BORED or NAKED! from me (the illustrator), here's more info. For a free Teacher's Guide, print-ready activity sheets and other fun, please see my I'M BORED Bonus Page.
