Kidsday editor, Pat Mullooly helped fine tune their interview skills and prepared them to meet their newest interviewee, Temple Grandin. Temple Grandin is an autistic woman who is a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. She is an author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior. Kathryn McCoy, Riley Shaw, JP Bailey and Christie Trabold read Temple Grandin’s new book, “Calling All Minds,” and had the unique opportunity to learn more about this famous scientist, author, and autism spokesperson. At the Barnes & Noble book store in New York City, the students confessed that they felt their interview with Ms. Grandin was more like an intimate conversation. The sixth graders were greeted with a friendly hello and listened as Temple began to speak candidly about her reasons for writing her new book, “Calling All Minds.” Her goal is to inspire children to do more hands-on projects and to not be afraid to make mistakes. Temple loved to read as a child and enjoyed books about famous inventors. As part of the students’ research, and to learn more about Temple, the students watched the movie “Temple Grandin,” and asked her about the visual of walking through doors. Temple explained that kids today can use the picture of a door and view it as an opportunity. They should walk through it as soon as possible and work hard. The students highly recommend the book, “Calling All Minds.” It is a book about all sorts of inventions, patents, and projects that children can make at home. One important quote from the book was that people are “different, not less.” Kathryn, Riley, JP, and Christie want to share that important message with everyone.
