The author relates how she started writing the children's book "Blue Jay Girl." She states that she first wrote "Lion Singer," which is about a Chukchansi boy in the time before white people came to California, while the new book focuses on an Indian girl from the Yaudanchi tribe in the old days. She offers a brief description of the main character, Blue Jay Girl. She also notes that she applied to the Tule River Indian Reservation in Tulare County in early February 2009 for a grant to assist in funding the publication of the manuscript.
