When my first children's book was published

過去簡單式

to talk to the students about being an author

談論了身為作家和插畫家的經歷。

and when I was setting up my slide projector

and she was busily preparing lunches for the day.

她當時正忙著準備著當天的午餐。

我對她說：「嗨，金妮！你好嗎？」

but she couldn't quite place me, and she looked at me and she said,

And I was amazed that she knew I was a Krosoczka,

but Stephen is my uncle who is 20 years older than I am,

and she had been his lunch lady when he was a kid.

And she started telling me about her grandkids,

他還小的時候，她也是他的午餐阿姨。

and therefore left school at the end of the day?

I had never thought about any of that before.

Well, that chance encounter inspired my imagination,

我一直以為她住在學校餐廳和湯匙當室友，

and I created the Lunch Lady graphic novel series,

我以前從來沒想過有這些事情。

我創作了一系列漫畫小說：午餐俠女。

a school bus monster, and mutant mathletes,

一個校車怪獸以及變種數學家。

And it's been amazing, because the series

was so welcomed into the reading lives of children,

她們會用廚娘網帽，逮捕犯人。

and they sent me the most amazing letters

然後，她們會大聲高呼： 「正義上菜！」

And I would notice as I would visit schools,

the lunch staff would be involved in the programming

在孩子的閱讀世界裡很受歡迎。

孩子們寄給我看過最棒的信件、

all of the lunch ladies told me the same thing:

"Thank you for making a superhero in our likeness."

然後，當我參訪學校時我會注意到

Because the lunch lady has not been treated

very kindly in popular culture over time.

I gave her a piece of artwork and some books.

因為，午餐阿姨們在過去都沒有

And two years after this photo was taken,

and nothing could have prepared me for what I saw there,

because next to her casket was this painting,

and her husband told me it meant so much to her

我送給她一幅畫作和一些書籍。

我完全沒想到 會在告別式看到一樣東西，

can make creative projects for their lunch staff.

And I partnered with the School Nutrition Association,

and did you know that a little over 30 million kids

participate in school lunch programs every day.

That equals up to a little over five billion lunches

這件事啟發我打造一個紀念日，

And the stories of heroism go well beyond

讓我們大家可以重溫那份感覺，

just a kid getting a few extra chicken nuggets

這一天，小朋友們會做一些創意作品

who keeps a close eye on every student that comes through her line

and then reports back to the guidance counselor

我也與「校園營養協會」合作。

你們是否知道有超過 30 萬個兒童，

who realized that 67 percent of their students

and they were going without food over the summer,

小朋友在午餐盤上多拿到一些雞塊。

and they traveled around the neighborhoods

她會注意每一個她所服務的學生，

feedings 500 kids a day during the summer.

有一群位於肯塔基州的午餐阿姨們，

that were made out of construction paper.

They took photos of their lunch lady's head

而這些學生在暑假時，沒東西吃。

and plastered it onto my cartoon lunch lady

在暑假時，她們一天餵養 500 個小朋友。

小朋友做了全世界最棒的勞作，
