There are several short clips.  You can either select one of the 1-3 minute clip on the topic you are particularly interested in or watch them all in succession. This is a wonderful interview!

Deborah Hopkinson
          

Deborah Hopkinson writes  history and historical fiction books for young children and teens. As a  child, she noticed a decided lack of information about women and girls  in her history textbooks, and many of her own books reflect her love of  history and her keen interest in presenting children's — particularly  girls'— contributions to U.S. history.    

In our interview Hopkinson discusses her mission to make history  come alive for students, her meticulous attention to historical  details, and her love of sharing good books with her own children.
