Actor and author Jamie Lee Curtis entertains an audience of children and parents June 30 at the ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim, California. After warming up the crowd with her infant impersonation, Curtis reads from her new book Big Words for Little People. Afterwards, she explains how she found the idea for her first book, and then speculates on why celebrities are often compelled to write children's books. Transcript (Opens in new tab or window).
