00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.830
- What inspired me to
write the children's book?

2
00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:04.200
My daughter, I have a
five year old daughter

3
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.850
and reading at bedtime has become a ritual

4
00:00:08.850 --> 00:00:10.530
and just started thinking of the concept

5
00:00:10.530 --> 00:00:12.690
of why do people count
sheep to fall asleep

6
00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:14.340
and wondering why that was.

7
00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:15.273
Are they boring?

8
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:17.670
What's wrong with sheep?

9
00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:19.590
And I wrote a book to
get to the bottom of it.

10
00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:21.900
A little toad who's trying
to get to the bottom of it

11
00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:24.210
and he's right, they're boring.

12
00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:26.910
If someone gives you a chance
to write a children's book,

13
00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:30.060
in my mind, you fill it
with as many Easter eggs

14
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:31.800
and thanks as possible.

15
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.070
If they're gonna publish it, you do it.

16
00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:37.590
I hide a lot of stuff in the background.

17
00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:39.540
Julie Rowan-Zoch who
did the illustrations,

18
00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:40.770
she's absolutely amazing.

19
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:42.750
She knocked it outta the
park, but she was kind enough

20
00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:46.890
to let me put some
things in the background

21
00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:49.680
here and there and
there's a lot of things,

22
00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:52.440
if you're a "Lost" fan, you'll
see some stuff in the book

23
00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:56.430
that you'll recognize
and look around the book.

24
00:00:56.430 --> 00:00:57.427
There's stuff to find.

25
00:00:57.427 --> 00:00:59.580
"Not All Sheep Are Boring,"

26
00:00:59.580 --> 00:01:03.364
a hilarious new picture book
written by me, Bobby Moynihan.

27
00:01:03.364 --> 00:01:05.947
(upbeat music)
