Clip Description
Here, you'll hear Catherine talk about her book, which I had discussed with her in a conference earlier. I find it interesting that her writing is basically scribbles at this point even though I know she is capable of more.
Commentary
You can see that the very last page shows evidence of my conference with Catherine - she wrote the word "parque" (pks). She also drew a slide and added green grass to the drawing.
