Heidi McKinnon: Hi, my name is Heidi McKinnon and I'm an author and illustrator of children's books. And this is my book called "I Just Ate My Friend."
[Heidi reads her book with shots of pages]
"I just ate my friend. He was a good friend, but now he's gone. 'Hello, would you be my friend?'
'No, you are too big.' 'Hello, would you be my friend?' 'No, you are too small.' 'Hello, would you be my friend?'
'No, you are too scary.' 'Hello, would you be my friend?' 'No, you are too slow.' 'Hello, would you be my friend?'
'No.' 'Uh, hello, would you be my...' (Heidi imitates monster roaring) 'Nevermind. Goodbye. What if I never find another friend?
What if I ate my only friend?' 'Hello. I will be your friend.'" "I Just Ate My Friend." (pages rustling)
