Interviewsicle: Fossil Hunter Kent Hups
Q: When did you first become interested in fossils and dinosaurs?
I loved them since grade school, started exploring T-Rex images, and learned from my grandpa where to find fossils in Colorado, which eventually led me to pursue geology and paleontology.
Interviewsicle: Ballerina Skylar Brandt
Q: How does she handle nerves before performances, especially in challenging roles like Swan Lake?
She works to stay present, views transformation into the role as a way to calm nerves, and focuses on step-by-step preparation rather than letting nerves overwhelm her.
Interviewsicle: Ballerina Skylar Brandt
Q: How did her parents support or constrain her early pursuit of ballet?
They were supportive but insisted she try other activities first, which she explored briefly before committing back to ballet, reinforcing her determination.
Interviewsicle: Ballerina Skylar Brandt
Q: What was it about ballet that grabbed your attention at such a young age?
Skylar describes a vivid childhood imagination, music exposure, and seeing ballet as a vivid, real-life version of the home fantasies she played out, which made the profession feel attainable and deeply appealing.
Interviewsicle: Author Megan McDonald
Q: You were a children's librarian before you were a writer. How did working in a library influence your stories?
Working in libraries fueled my love of books and storytelling, showing me what kids enjoy and how language and rhythm engage young readers, which directly shaped how I write and choose ideas.
