Hi, everybody. It's Andy Richter here with another edition, another episode, another,

you know, a mile marker in the three questions journey. And I'm talking today with somebody

who's work. I probably love too much. Christine Atosi, who is the founder of Milk Bar and I mean

written many, many cookbooks. And you're here today because you have a new children's book out,

right? First of all, hello, hello. Let's get right out of the top. Let's get it. Yeah. I just

wrote this kids book. It's called Every Cake has a story. I mean, they call it a kids book. Actually,

they call it a picture book, which I think is funny because there's pictures, but there's also

words. But it's like, it's very, it's very much in the spirit of Milk Bar. And in, I think what my

life's work is to do, which is to remind us all to just take a moment, take a beat, have a bite,

and just to remember not to take ourselves so seriously or more specifically in this book,

just to like remind ourselves to show up for and bodyguard and protect and let like the kid in us

out a little bit more in all of the like wonder and curiosity that exists in the world. And I

suppose on the kid end to remind kids that like, it's going to be all right. Like the you of you is

the most important part of it. And you're going to be different than everyone else because you are

different than everyone else. So like, let it out and make some good of it. Good. Yeah. No,

it's a really, it's a really sweet book. I mean, it took, it took me a couple days to get through it,

but that's I'm kidding guys. It's like page six, right? It's a real,

kind of pull out the dictionary if you tell me. No, it's really, and it's beautifully illustrated too.

What was that process? How do you find an illustrator? How do they just hook you up somebody?

I mean, they, they, the publisher gives you a list of illustrators and work that they think

would be good for you. But it's kind of like you're getting match made like your words or your

vision is getting match made with somebody else's visuals. And it's kind of interesting to see
