>>> ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, WE'RE BACK NOW WITH A FRIEND OF THE "GMA3" FAMILY AND ALSO MY FRIEND AS WELL, LITTLE BRAGGING RIGHTS THERE. SHE'S AN EMMY-AWARD WINNING JOURNALIST AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR WHOSE LATEST CHILDREN'S BOOK, "THE SMALLEST SPOT OF A DOT," IS OUT RIGHT NOW. >> SHE'S ALSO ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING WOMEN I'VE EVER MET. >> YOU KNOW IT. >> JOINING US MORE TO TALK MORE ABOUT IT IS THE ONE, THE ONLY LINSEY DAVIS. >> LINSEY! >> I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO WRITE A CHILDREN'S BOOK JUST TO GET ON "GMA3," JUST TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE. I'LL KEEP CRANKING THEM OUT. >> YOU ARE WELCOME ANY TIME, MY FRIEND. I LOVE THE WAY YOUR BOOK IS DESCRIBED. WHIMSICAL. I WAS READING IT TO MY KIDS LAST NIGHT. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S CELEBRATING NOT ONLY OUR DIFFERENCES, WHICH ARE IMPORTANT, BUT ALSO EMBRACING THIS IDEA THAT WE'RE ALSO THE SAME IN A LOT OF WAYS. >> EXACTLY. >> TELL US ABOUT IT. >> I ALWAYS HAD THIS FASCINATION WITH THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT. IT WAS A 13-YEAR UNDERTAKING, THE FIRST PHASE, THOUSANDS OF RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT OUR DNA IS 99.9% THE SAME. I WAS ALWAYS JUST FASCINATED BY THAT. THAT IT'S JUST THAT 0.1% THAT MAKES US UNIQUE, THAT DETERMINES OUR HAIR COLOR, OUR EYE COLOR, OUR BLOOD TYPE, AND I FELT LIKE, GOSH, HOW WOULD I MAKE THIS COMPLEX TOPIC SOMETHING THAT THE YOUNGEST AMONG US WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND? I WAS TALKING TO MY FRIEND, MICHAEL TYLER, AND HE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO THE DOTS, AND WE WERE OFF TO THE RACES AT THAT POINT. KIDS CAN RELATE TO THE DOTS. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WHIMSICAL ILLUSTRATIONS. WE'RE BRINGING EVERYBODY INTO THE TENT WITH THE IDEA OF 3.1 BILLION DOTS THAT MAKE UP OUR DNA, IT'S OUR ME, MY, MINE DOT, OUR THING THAT MAKES ME SHINE DOT THAT MAKES US UNIQUE. >> THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST CHILDREN'S BOOK THAT DEALS WITH A COMPLEX ISSUE. YOU ALSO WRITE ABOUT LOSS AND GRIEF. IS IT YOUR HOPE THAT THESE BOOKS WILL HELP PARENTS NAVIGATE THE CONVERSATION WHEN THEY'RE TALKING TO THEIR KIDS ABOUT LOSS, GRIEF, THE FACT THAT WE ARE DIFFERENT. >> AS BEING A MOM WITH YOUNG KIDS, THEY ASK HARD QUESTIONS. I THINK I'M A HARD HITTING JOURNALIST. MY SON HAS STUMPED ME. HOW DO I ANSWER IN AN AGE-APPROPRIATE WAY? I HAVE TO PUT ON MY THINKING HAT AS A PARENT, WHEN I'M WRITING THESE BOOKS, LIKE, HOW CAN I HELP PARENTS GO THROUGH THE SAME THINGS? MY SON HAS REALLY BEEN THE INSPIRATION, MY MUSE, WHEN I'M WRITING THESE BOOKS TO TRY TO GET IT ON A LEVEL THAT THEY UNDERSTAND AND REALLY IF WE'RE TO BE HONEST, WHEN IT COMES TO EMBRACING OUR DIFFERENCES, KIDS ALREADY UNDERSTAND THAT. IT'S ADULTS THAT REALLY NEED THAT LESSON, SO THESE BOOKS JUST KIND OF REINFORCE THAT IDEA FOR KIDS. >> AND THERE'S A BIG CONGRATULATIONS AS WELL. YOU'RE CELEBRATING THREE YEARS WITH ABC NEWS LIVE PRIME. >> THAT IS MY OTHER BABY. IF I CAN JUST BRAG FOR JUST A MOMENT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE ONLY SHOW IN THE PRIME STREAMING SPACE THAT HAS MULTIPLE AWARDS. WE ARE REALLY ALL ABOUT PUTTING THE HUMANITY BEHIND THE HEADLINES, AND I HOPE THAT PEOPLE WILL TUNE IN WHO HAVE NOT LISTENED TO THE SHOW JUST YET, GIVE US A TRY. >> BIG INTERVIEWS, IN-DEPTH STORIES, I LOVE IT. >> WE HAVE BORIS JOHNSON ON TONIGHT, SO TUNE IN. HE'S QUITE A CHARACTER, REALLY INTERESTING. HERE IN D.C., OBVIOUSLY, TO TRY TO CONVINCE REPUBLICANS TO GIVE A LITTLE MORE SPENDING FOR UKRAINE. >> WOW. INCREDIBLE. >> I WANT TO ASK, DO YOU HAVE A SHOE LINE COMING OUT? >> I KNOW. SHE'S DESIGNING SHOES. >> HARDEST-WORKING WOMAN EVER. LINSEY, THANK YOU. >> YES, BORIS JOHNSON COMING
