- Yeah.

So, let's see, this is his new book.

It is called "Pete and Peaches and the Starfish Club."

So it's pretty special.

And I've had a one of your original drawings of Pete and Peaches.

I've got it framed and hanging up in my house.

So tell me about the book.

So "Pete and Peaches."

- Yeah.

So the setting is a grandmother and she's a retired school teacher.

And then she gets a little poodle, a cute, adorable little teacup poodle.

And that was Peaches.

- With the taffy colored ears.

Peaches colored ears.

- The little peach, yeah.

And then we have Pete comes to live with her as well, the grandson.

Everything's going great until one day he gets sick.

And that kind of draws on my real life story with getting sick at a young age.

But then grandma takes him to a hospital far away and she has to get him back.

So that's an interesting way that she brings him back.

- I will say.

- That's an adventure.

And then when she brings him back, he's wondering, you know, I can't just play outside all day.

What am I gonna do with my life?

So the grandmother tells him a story finally, the starfish, and many people are familiar with it, some aren't.

- So tell us again, because it's a great story.

- Yeah.

So it's short, but so powerful.

It's about a storm that brings all these starfish and puts 'em out on the beach.

And in the morning, little boy's putting them back in the water, and someone says, "What are you doing?"

He says, "I'm saving the starfish."

- [Christine] And there's thousands of 'em.

- There's millions.

Yeah.

It was by far the hardest picture I had to draw for the book.

- I bet.

- It took a long time.

But somebody comes along and says, "Listen, there's millions.

Why are you wasting your time?

And what matter does it make anyway?"

And he holds one up and he says, "It matters to this one."

- [Christine] To this one.

Yes.

Exactly.

- So the individual, you just think about, and I've been thinking a lot about it lately.
