00:00And the sisters were sleeping.
00:03When I wrote my first book was when I was three and a half.
00:08Well, my first book is about when a baby fox was looking for someone to play with, but nobody came.
00:19Baby fox.
00:21Once upon a time there lived a baby fox who was all by himself,
00:26and he was crying for someone to play with, but nobody came.
00:32And then he fell backwards and banged the back of his head.
00:38He cried very loud.
00:42He wanted someone to get his hand, but there was no one.
00:48He was all by himself.
00:51Why did you write a book about foxes?
00:54Well, it's because I love telling stories about baby fox.
01:00That's my most favourite character.
01:03And what do you like about writing?
01:05Well, I can write all the characters.
01:08The characters could be going on adventures, or going to different planets, doing all kinds of stuff.
01:18When did you start your publishing house?
01:20When I was three and a half.
01:22So you started your publishing house at three and a half?
01:26Well, that was not when I was doing my book.
01:31Well, the Very Young Authors Competition is where young people send stories and books to me.
01:41So the people who make the stories which I like, and books which I like,
01:49then the stories and books will get published.
01:53And what are your plans for the future?
01:56Well, I want to make workshops where young people make stories together.
02:04And also, I want to help young people make videos,
02:11because I don't think any of them have made a video.
02:17And I also have lots and lots and lots and lots and lots,
02:23or even hundreds of my baby fox stories, because I tell them every night.
02:32And sometimes, even when I'm in the car, like when I was doing my video, how to make a book.
