Birdie and Grandma just spent a long day together, and Grandma is tired! Good thing Birdie knows just how to put the pep back in her step: a makeover! In this video author Lee Merrill Byrd and illustrator Francisco Delgado talk about how their story is in two different languages, and they talk about real-life family members that inspired Birdie’s characters. And keep watching to see how Francisco draws!
