I didn't sneeze, but I once cut my own hair with disastrous consequences. Yes, all of these stories are close to things that happened in real life. Did these stories come from your own experience? In another, her dumplings turn out lumpy. In one, Ting sneezes at an inopportune moment while getting a haircut.
The book is made up of six slice-of-life stories.
It's like the reverse of a lot of my other books, that are about how people can look really different but still have a lot of similarities. It gave me the idea of how people who look exactly the same can also be very different. One had cookie crumbs all over her face while the other was eating very delicately. They were sharing cookies, but I noticed they were eating them in such different ways. They were just so cute, so adorable, and they looked exactly the same. Then I went to an event where I met a pair of Chinese-American twins. I didn't want to propagate that whole stereotype out there that all Asians look alike, so I put the idea on the shelf for a while. But then I started to feel really weird about it. When I first wrote this book it was about triplets. Why did you choose to write about twins instead? So when I started writing books, I thought about the books that I had loved and I thought it would be really fun to have an Asian Snipp, Snapp and Snurr. In general, I wished that about all the books I read, like, gee, I wish Betsy had an Asian friend. I loved those books, but the one thing that I always felt was missing was somebody who looked like me. They were blond, blue-eyed children that were so different from me, yet I found them so fascinating.
They were really bizarre they must have been old books in the library that no one had ever thrown out. It was a series about triplets who had these little adventures. One thing that inspired this particular book was some really, really old early readers that I loved when I was a child: Snipp, Snapp and Snurr and Flicka, Ricka and Dicka. When I wrote my first novel my goal was to make it an early reader, but it grew beyond the category. I've always wanted to write an early reader.
