A certain luxury when you get to writing a novel is to have the space to have your characters just banter.

Presentation skills are key. People who work for you represent your brand. You want them to present themselves - and represent you - in a certain way.

In a novel, you have space to develop a character or a scene. You don't have that luxury in a 700-800-word picture book.
