Blue Peter interview premiered on CBBC
The Blue Peter interview has finally premiered on the CBBC channel. In this charming talk with presenter Matt Barker, Madonna revealed a few “secret” about her children’s book series.
Matt: The names that you’ve used… where did you get those? you don’t know any Abdis.
Madonna: Should I tell you where I got them?
Matt: Go on
Madonna: I just looked up names on the internet (laughs)
Matt: Did you?
Madonna also revealed she relied on Lola and Rocco to test her stories, to see where strengths and weaknesses were and where she needed to be more entertaining and exciting.
Matt: Did you read much as a child?
Madonna: I’m a voracious reader and I was as a child. My father used to make stories up all the time when I was little. We lived in a house that had three bedrooms and I have eight brothers and sisters and we would be all laying on our beds and my father would sit on a stool in the hallway in the middle so we could all see him from our beds and he would just make stories up to us. Isn’t that cool?
My daughter likes me to actually make up stories, so I kinda try to remember things that happened to me when I was little
Madonna, after getting her Blue Peter badge also gave advise to young writers.
“You have to have absolute conviction and believe in what you’re doing so no matter how many people turn you down or shut the door in your face or reject you, you’re gonna keep going, keep going and keep going” she said.
