worst. you've accused people of looking like someone first of all, it's not accusing, but usually when you say it, it is. oh, god, this has been a really rough day here at the z. see you tomorrow. of survival is inspiring change. she joins me live to talk about the importance of heart health, education, and the message that she will deliver soon to state lawmakers. >> plus, a deadly mountain lion attack is renewing a conversation about wildlife safety. we're live with an expert this afternoon to talk about the risks and a solar storm striking the planet, and it could create a flurry of issues for californians. >> our tom baker breaks down the possible problems from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is the four.

>> an investigation is underway. this afternoon after a woman was attacked while working at an oakland laundromat. welcome to the four. i'm alex savage and i'm heather holmes. >> it happened at a busy laundromat with many witnesses. our crime reporter, henry lee is here now. after talking to that victim, henry. >> yeah, she told these women they got there too late to start their laundry loads. they left, apparently with no issues, but they came back 40 minutes later saying they were missing some of their clothes. and that's when she got attacked. 65 year old ruth wilde was attacked by two women while working at woodies laundromat on park boulevard in oakland. wilde says she told one of the women they had arrived too late to start their laundry on march 16th. they left with their clothes and drove off, but they came back 40 minutes later, began yelling at wilde, saying they were missing some of their clothes. they demanded she check the laundromat surveillance video, but while doesn't have access to the video, the woman in blue grabs her and pushes her against the machines. a few minutes later, the woman in

yellow makes a punching motion, then hits her, knocking her to the ground. the woman in blue then grabs her, drags her, and pushes her. officers arrived, but ended up only sighting the woman in blue. no one was physically arrested. they never. they never take people to jail. >> you know, it's like slap on the hand, you know, get away with it. i want you to go to jail and get help because you cannot go around doing that and punch somebody in the face and get away with it. >> now, wilde has worked at the business for 27 years, but has not gone back since the incident . scared the women will return? >> yeah, you can understand. henry, is there any word at this point on whether this case will be elevated to a felony assault? >> yeah, not sure. i did show these videos to a former oakland police officer who did say this does not appear to rise to a felony simply because the woman did not suffer what's known as great bodily injury, which is fortune. now, clearly the punches look bad, but there are gradations of attacks.

>> yeah. okay. >> so henry, who determines the seriousness of an incident like this? >> well, that will ultimately be up to the alameda county da's office. whether the case will rise to the level of a felony or stay as a misdemeanor. now, coming up at five, we will hear from the laundromats owner who says this incident does show how vulnerable the public at large could be, given that this victim is 65 years old and weighs no more than 88 pounds. >> yeah. okay, henry, looking forward to that report. thank you. >> well, there's no word this afternoon on what will become of the now shuttered in-n-out burger location in oakland. the only in and out in oakland closed for good early this morning. the owner blames crime in that area. the restaurant opened back in 2005 near hegenberger road and interstate 880. in-n-out says waves of car break ins, property damage, thefts and robberies were affecting the safety of customers and employees. this is the first time the in and out chain has closed one of its restaurants. in its 75 year history. >> well, the ceo of boeing says

he is now stepping down and will do so at the end of the year. it is a major shakeup at the troubled airplane manufacturer. david calhoun told employees that in a memo, quote, the eyes of the world are on us and i know we will come through this moment a better company. the company's chairman and head of the commercial airplane unit are also leaving the company. this all comes amid increased scrutiny on boeing following several incidents involving poor quality or workmanship on planes, most notably when a door panel blew off a brand new alaska airlines 737 max jet plane back in mid-air in january . >> it should be able to be brought under control. i'm hoping the carriers have the backstop of excellent maintenance programs to provide the comfort of the public. >> the faa paused boeing's expansion of a 737 max planes and found that the company had quality control issues with manufacturing, parts handling and storage. boeing has until late may to give the faa its plan for improvements. >> earth has been hit with a

solar shock wave after the sun released a huge burst of energy that immediately headed earthward solar events in the past have resulted in widespread power outages and also messed up communications as well. ktvu tom vacar spoke to two solar experts about what is happening here and how long this will continue. >> indeed, it appears we've hit a peak in the 11 year solar cycle, which will last for two years now. we first got wind of a solar shock wave 165 years ago, when a big solar wave essentially burned out that newfangled wild west system called the telegraph. nowadays when there's a solar storm, even nasa tells astronauts on board the space station shelter in place, it can play havoc with the electrical grid, and they can also have a serious effect on the gps satellites that we all rely on. >> it can also affect the geostationary satellites that we rely on so much for weather,

satellite imagery or satellite video communications. >> for many people, the wi-fi that they use in their homes, again dependent on satellites, now coming up at five. >> some major events that solar shockwaves have caused up to the present day. and you'll be surprised back to you and tom. >> do we have a sense about the impact from this particular solar storm and why it seems to have been minimal here on earth. >> well, i think it was minimal, because you've got to remember that that shock wave has to travel 93 million miles, and there's a lot of stuff that it also encounters as it's going that direction. and so as a result, by the time it finally got here, much of its power was dissipated. but that is just happenstance because, as had it been, maybe a percent or 10% stronger, it might be a very different answer. in fact, we do know down in new zealand that people were able to see what it's called, the aurora australis. yes. not the aurora borealis, because of the fact that that those particles got into the atmosphere. but as to

big things, not yet. but remember, two years to go and a lot can happen. >> yeah, certainly. all right. tom vacar live for us in the newsroom, tom. thank you. yeah >> time for us to turn our attention to bay area weather and a live look across the oakland estuary, taking a look at downtown san francisco this afternoon. let's bring in our meteorologist, rosemary oroczo to start us off on this monday afternoon with a look at what lies ahead for the rest of your workweek. >> yes, we are looking at a pleasant weather to start the workweek. as we get into the back end of the week, including the easter weekend. could be a little soggy, giving you a look outside our doors at this hour. after a little bit of drizzle this morning over parts of the bay area, we broke away to partly cloudy skies this afternoon. it's a bit breezy, a live look there at san francisco, and temperatures are still running a little bit cool for this time of year. the pattern that is setting up this ridge here is going to control our weather pattern. for the next couple of days. you can see widespread scattered showers for most of the west, but for california we will be mainly

dry. the northern edge of the state could pick up on a few scattered showers, but for us here at home, we'll call for partly cloudy skies, a breeze in the afternoon and temperatures running a little bit below average, at least for today. the winds have turned on a little bit more this afternoon. oakland reporting a wind gust to 32. fairfield reporting 15. as we shift over towards the peninsula and the south bay, we have sfo reporting 21mph. san jose 15 under a mix of sun and clouds. our temperatures are a tad cooler in some areas today. we do have 55 degrees right now in san francisco, 60 in napa, upper 50s in oakland. but for folks that are going out to see the game a little bit later today, giants versus a's at the coliseum, we have 55 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds and a west northwest breeze to about 15mph. so a cool, breezy evening over areas of oakland and for the rest of us by tomorrow morning in the 40s and low 50s. 40 degrees to start your day in santa rosa, 49 san francisco, mid 40s in livermore. so a chill

in the air. you may need the thicker jacket. our temperatures for tomorrow afternoon only slightly warmer with wet weather returning on wednesday. i'll have a look at the extended forecast coming up. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit, rosemary. thank you. it's the first deadly mountain lion attack here in california in 20 years. and it's prompting a renewed conversation about wilderness safety. up next on the for today, we'll talk live with an expert about this weekend's attack in el dorado county that left a young man dead and his brother injured. and we'll discuss how to stay safe when you enter big cat country. >> also examining the complexities of silicon valley. stay with us. i'm going to talk live with the author of this new book that's set to encourage young women to pursue their dreams regardles of what

leaving one of them dead. 21 year old kaitlyn brooks and his

18 year old brother wyatt were collecting deer antlers near georgetown in el dorado county when they were both attacked on saturday. talent was killed and wyatt was seriously injured, but he is expected to survive, their family said. the two were close as any two brothers could be and lived a full, energetic life, enjoying the outdoors. this was the first deadly mountain lion attack in california in 20 years. >> if the people were crouching down to pick things up off the ground, or if they were carrying the antlers, it's possible i if there's no way to know, but it's possible that there's that sort of mistaken identity that happens. >> state wildlife officials trapped and euthanized the mountain lion necropsy results show the mountain lion was a 90 pound male that appeared to be in good health, and that deadly attack is sparking new conversations about safety for people who may be headed outdoors and potentially into the habitat of big cats. the california department of fish

and wildlife says attacks like this are rare, with fewer than 50 verified mountain lion attacks on people. since 1890, the department says you are 1000 times more likely to be struck by lightning than be attacked by a mountain lion. that certainly puts it in some perspective. and for more perspective, we're joined this afternoon by alice granados from the bay area puma project. thank you so much, alice, for taking the time. we hear, obviously, from those statistics and get the sense that attacks like this are incredibly rare. how surprised were you to hear about what happened to these two brothers over the weekend? >> yeah. thank you. our condolences to the family. of course, this tragic event that happened, yeah, we were super surprised, like you just said in those stats that you showed attacks like this are very rare, you're more likely to be killed by many other things. so. yeah, this is very, extremely rare, event that. yeah, we were as shocked as anyone else.

>> how were you trying to make sense of why this might have happened? what what what do we know are some of the most common reasons a mountain lion may feel threatened by a human who's who's in in their territory and feel compelled to attack. >> yeah. so there's still some details that we haven't heard yet about. like what exactly happened, we know that this was a younger male, subadult male, like you said. and so it could be that a male of this age, like, they're still kind of learning how to be a puma, maybe they don't really know to avoid people. maybe the animal was startled, and so we also don't know, maybe like, how long they've been on their own, puma cubs stay with their mom for two years, so maybe it had been newly dispersed and started life on its own, maybe it had lost the mom before. it had kind of, acquired all the skills that it might need before it can go on its own. so, yeah, a lot of

things we don't know yet, but those are just some of the things that might make us subadult, more likely to, get into these situations versus an older, more experienced adult mountain lion. >> and in this particular case, we understand the two brothers, they were out hunting for deer antlers that that had already been shed. i'm curious if you can give us some perspective about why that might be important. would that maybe have put them in a place where there would be more mountain lions? yeah >> so deer antlers might be shed in areas where that they use for bedding. and so these are areas with kind of thick cover. like thickets. and so this is also an area where a mountain lion might use for bedding as well. and so you have that overlap of, areas used by deer and by mountain lions, the time of day that this attack happened, i think was like sometime in the early afternoon. and so at that time, a mountain lion might have been like sleeping in one of these areas. and so if they were crouched down, potentially, then maybe they startled the animal, or the animal thought they were prey or something, but yeah,

these areas, we know that they are used by both deer and mountain lions, which of course prey on deer. >> all right, let's talk. if we could, about what other people should take away from from this situation that unfolded over the weekend. what what is your best advice for people to avoid confrontations with mountain lions if they are out in the wilderness? >> yeah. so even things like this are obviously super rare. there's a lot of information we can share with people on what they can do. so if you're hiking, you're going to be hiking, probably in mountain lion territory. and so one thing that you can do is one of the most important things is just being extra vigilant and having awareness of what's going on around you. so not having earbuds in or earphones. if you're hiking with pets, make sure that you have them on a leash. because a pet can look like prey to a mountain lion, and then if you see a mountain lion, just keep your distance, most of the times when if you see one, it'll just kind of look at you and walk away, and so you

want to make sure you give them a wide berth so that they can safely leave the area. if the animal starts to approach you, though, it's really important that you don't run. make yourself big, start making noise . if you notice that they are like showing their teeth and having their ears back, that's kind of more like aggressive. behavior. and if they're making, like, snarling or growling noises, then definitely want to make noise, start throwing things at them and then if it comes down to it, like always fight back. all right. >> some really important advice there. and again we appreciate you putting this all in perspective and reminding everyone that attacks like this are extremely rare. alice granados from the bay area puma project. thank you for the time. thank you. >> it is a brand new book that delves into the world of fashion, tech and power. stick around. the autho join me

that many women face in this male dominated industry. joining me now live is kyla zhao, author of this brand new novel called valley verified. really appreciate you being here. so this story chronicles the life of a gen z woman thrust into the world of tech. she's a manhattan fashion blogger who takes up a new job at a startup in silicon valley. but as you as you follow along in this book, her experience is not necessarily a good one. >> yeah. that's right. so she's basically basically like a fish

out of water. she goes from the world of high fashion to high tech and that kind of mirrors my own journey where i left my fashion job at vogue and moved to join a tech company in silicon valley. >> let's talk a little bit about this. you know, change in career path for you and why you wanted to tell some of that story in this novel. >> i think that big changes are something that many people go through at various points in their life, especially someone like me who's in their 20s. this is a decade where we're going through so many firsts our first jobs, our first relationship tips, our first job change, moving away from home, breaking up with people, getting together with people. change is so scary and so uncomfortable. and in this book i wanted to explore all the difficult emotions that come with going through a difficult transition period in your life and how, as we navigate these complicated emotions, we find the people who can support us, but we also discover new parts of ourselves which is which is really great.

>> that's the big takeaway here. but as i mentioned, this is a story that, you know personally me. was it difficult to get so personal and why, again, did you feel it was important to share those insights? >> honestly, it was cathartic writing this story. i wrote it when i was going through a massive confidence crisis at work and in my life. but i'm not great at facing up to bad emotions. my tendency is to just suppress them and hope they magically disappear on their own. but when i was writing this story by crafting this fictional portrayal of this woman who's going through very similar things, it gave me a safe space to explore my insecurities and to come to terms with the feelings that i was feeling and it allowed me to accept them. >> well, that's great that it was such a positive experience for you and again, hopefully for the reader too. but this does tackle some pretty heavy topics. i mean, in illicit gender bias, sexism. again things that you encountered in this book, i wanted to portray how sexism and

gender discrimination can manifest in a spectrum of ways. >> you have the really explicit examples of sexual harassment, but you also have the smaller, more insidious examples of microaggressions. and thankfully, i've never had to face any major forms of gender discrimination or sexism in a workplace. but i do know friends who are not as lucky. and, you know, microaggressions can show itself in very small ways, like the woman always being asked to take meeting notes or being asked to order snacks for the office, or being asked to organize happy hours. it's never part of a job description, but somehow the responsibility is hers to bear. >> yeah. okay, so what is your message to women, especially young women, as they take up this and start to read it from cover to cover? >> honestly, trust your instincts. if you sense that something is wrong, don't sweep it under the rug. don't think of it as yourself being too sensitive, or that you're reading too much into things, or that you're paranoid. because if your alarm bells start ringing,

something is not right. and as much as you can as soon as possible, try telling someone else so that you know you can find a support system that really is great advice. >> it is a fun read though, that we should mention that as well. it really a story about ambition, resilience and pursuit. perhaps most importantly of one's authenticity. really appreciate you coming on the show today. i know that this is your second novel. really great success with this one. and i hear that you're working on on yet a third one. so wishing you wishing you success in that endeavor as well. thanks again for coming on the show. >> thank you so much. >> up next here on the four this afternoon, her survival story is now generating awareness. we'll sit down, live with the tracy teenager who survived cardiac arrest and is now changing the conversation around children's heart health. also, a longtime san francisco giants reporter is telling a new story in the latest installment of her series of children's books. amy g will join us live here in the studio

with more on the inspiration behind smarty marty takes the field

13, she and her father were at the state capitol to speak at the heart ball, hosted by the american heart association, where she helped to raise $250,000 and the friends who helped save heather's life. they were also recognized by the 911 for kids foundation. now, you may remember we told you about

heather's story back in september. that's when the teenager was in class in tracy, when she suddenly slumped over her desk and another student called 911. and we are so happy to have heather, her dad, derek and her friend mckenna all here with me. mckenna, by the way, is one of the young women who really jumped into action on that day. so we're going to talk with you, sweetie, about what happened that day. but heather, you have taken what has been i mean, a really scary situation and turned it into something positive. you're now you're really out there. you're talking about the cause. you're helping to raise money. tell me why you wanted to do that. >> well, people need to know what happened to me and that it came out as a positive and not a negative. that it was a miracle that i was saved. and now i'm an ambassador for the american heart association, and i'm helping raise money and help raise awareness to my cause. >> yeah. i mean, it's really amazing what you're doing at such a young age. do you feel good about that?

>> it feels good to help out others and that i can accomplish so much at such a young age, and to show others that it doesn't matter how old you are and how much little you know, that you can just help out. >> yeah, sometimes these kids, they know more than we do, right? they sure do. okay mckenna, you were just recognized as being one of the students who really stepped up that day. you received an honor over the weekend as well. what was it like? i mean, when you saw what was happening to your friend that day, how did you know that you needed to do something quickly, well, like when you see someone pass out on the floor, especially your friend, you know, it's a serious medical emergency. yeah. so it was kind of just something where, like, you're very, like, high adrenaline and everything, and just a lot is going through your mind, but, you know, it's like something where you have to help and step in and get your phone out for someone to call. okay. >> you want to show everybody that medal that's around your neck? how proud are you of that? mckenna? >> i'm very proud. it's really cool too. >> yeah, it is your smile

really, really says it all. it's. it's really great. derek you two must be so proud of not only your daughter, but the other students in the class. and now you're helping to try to get some legislation on the books to really change things. gwen, tell the audience at home about that bill, it's an assembly bill. 2887. and it goes to an emergency medical service and getting everybody trained in cpr and installing aed devices. the american heart association is really supporting this bill and helping push it through that. we're going to the state capitol next, next week, and hopefully she gets to go on to congress to speak and tell her story, to show what it can mean for schools to have cpr, aed devices, proper training. because when you need to take action, you need to know what to do and seconds matter. >> yeah, they certainly do. and what is going to be your message, heather, when you get that opportunity to try to encourage lawmakers on this topic? >> i mean, i just think that they didn't know how important this is and how much it means to me. mckenna molina, my other friend and my dad that rewears we raise awareness to this

cause. >> yeah. and the fact though, derek, were you surprised at all at the lack of training that is available, especially to teachers and things when they're around such young kids at. >> absolutely. we are very fortunate that principal theater art school, he had training two weeks just prior to this incident, so he knew what to do. and if it wasn't for that training and if it wasn't for the dispatcher helping him, heather wouldn't be here today. and we were. we were amazed to find out that schools that don't have cpr training, they don't have aed devices. heather school didn't have an aa device, and if it wasn't for the first responders that had it on scene, heather still may not be here. so we're doing all that we can to keep going, to push for schools to have cpr and aed devices to be on campus, because the technology we develop helps us all. >> yeah, and it literally saves lives. heather i know that you're now back at school. how does it feel to be back and back with your friends? >> it feels good to be doing what i'm good at school, doing

what i love, playing basketball at school, on my school team, and just being happy and healthy. >> yeah, i mean, that really is incredible too. dad, when you think about all that, you know, heather's been through and you're back to being athletic. mckenna, what is it like for you to have your your dear friend back? >> it's so cool, especially knowing that like a couple of months ago, she was in the hospital and everyone was praying for her, and now she's just at school again, being happy, and we all get to hang out with her again. >> yeah, but it's just such a great feeling. final question for you, dad. your sheriff's deputy. you respond to emergencies all of the time. but i can imagine when it's your, you know, your sweet daughter kind of changes, changes things a bit. >> it it brings it home. yeah. you know, i've been in a lot of critical situations. fortunately and to help others. and now i relied on other first responders to do their job. and i knew all i could do was sit back and watch. don't get in the way, let their training kick in, and let them do what needs to be done to give her a fighting chance. >> yeah, and they did. and they did great, okay, i see all of

these accommodations. what is it like? do you feel a little bit like a superstar now? >> i mean, a little bit. >> well, you are, and your message is really important. so are you mckenna and dad? you as well. thank you guys very, very much for being here. we're going to be following your story. and what's next. are you a tad bit nervous about getting in front of lawmakers? >> a little bit, yeah, you're going to be great. >> she has one thing she does to help every to help everybody when she's happy to do things. okay. and rouz them back. >> okay. let me see this. are you ready? >> one. two. three. yes, i love it. okay we're going to end the segment with that. can i get all of us. yes. >> 123. >> yes. >> all right, there we go. hey. thanks, everybody. we're going to be following the journey and see what happens here in sacramento. and then also in d.c. but great great girls. thank you so much alex. i love it. yeah. me too. >> inspiring story. yes. all right. she is well known to bay area sports fans as a longtime reporter and multimedia producer for the san francisco giants. now amy gutierrez has released her latest children's book called smarty marty takes the

field. and up next, we'll talk live with amy g about what inspired her latest story and how she's hoping to inspire female athletes to break down barriers and giants and a's taking the field at the coliseum a little bit later today. >> it's going to be a cool, breezy evening. i'll have a look what we

takes the field. it's the third installment in the series written by amy gutierrez. of course, the longtime sideline reporter for the san francisco giants, who is now a multimedia producer and ambassador for the team. this latest books inspired by the trailblazing giants assistant coach alyssa nakken, who was the first female coach in mlb history. and we're fortunate to have amy g. here in the studio with us this afternoon. thank you so much for being here. thanks for having me. and congratulations on the book. thank you. i know you're excited about it. >> yes, i am, it's a it's a labor of love writing a book. so it's nice to see it come to fruition and have it be sort of over. >> right. >> we began it in 2022. so that just gives folks a little background on how long it takes to actually get it published. yeah. >> and so obviously the character marty has been around for quite some time. this is

sort of the latest installment here in this latest book. tell me about the story and what inspired it. and how is marty trying to trying to break down barriers in the sports world once again? >> yeah, marty's always she's our little trailblazer, right? like looking for the glass ceiling and how much more can i break? and, you know, originally the character was very inspired by my grandmother, who was named martha. and that's where marty comes from. and fast forwarding to 2022, ten years after i wrote the original book, marty, marty, it it's the evolution that we've seen of women in sports, right? so in 2012, when i was writing marty, marty, a girl who knew everything about baseball, that was a big deal because that still wasn't really accepted. and it's a shame on. me moment where i didn't think i would see a female where a major league baseball uniform in my time, it wasn't in our wheelhouse, it wasn't what we were talking about. and then all of a sudden, you saw this explosion of women

in professional men's sports having jobs of authority. and then, of course, alyssa nakken comes along and when alyssa got hired, there wasn't this moment like, oh, i need to write a new book. it was more about, well, we we're still moving, we're still going, and we've got a long way still to go, but look how far we've come. and so i wanted to have her be a part of the book. yeah. >> and what was that process like working with alyssa to sort of understand her story, where she had come from and, and try to put that message in your new book? >> well, i was the first person to interview alyssa after she was hired by the giants. so for me, that was this historical moment in and of itself that i was able to participate in this moment. and so when the story idea came about, it was really about, where can marty go? because now, you know, marty's taught her little brother everything about baseball. marty's become a pa announcer in the third installment, and then in this latest one, now she's managing. and so i really wanted to come up with something that

we haven't seen. women do at the major league level. we're seeing it in the minor leagues, and it's happening, with alyssa, it was really just about, how can i use your likeness? you know, there's some illustrations by annika o'rourke, who is amazing and a huge giants fan herself, really good friends with john miller. it's a fun little family that we have going here, but for alyssa, it was just what could i would you be my muse for this? to a degree and serve as a mentor to marty in the book and then in, continuing that conversation, we did an afterword with alyssa where i interviewed her, and that's in the book for people to read. >> and so what is what is the sort of overarching message you you are hoping that young readers, especially girls, will take away from this book? >> well, and i don't even know if i would qualify it as especially girls. it's really about just children, and as a parent of two, i have a 19 year old and a 16 year old, 19 year old boy, 16 year old daughter. it's just not having limitations, you know, and

believing that you don't have limitations. and i grew up that way with a father who, you know, put a baseball in my hand and had me out at little league practices. and i always felt like i could do anything until i got there and faced the boundaries that i faced in my career. and i hope that i served as some type of trailblazer for my daughter and for her generation and the generations after that, into. and that's the whole point of this is, you know, if not, you, who? that's it. that's the question. that's the question that i want kids to say to themselves, oh, i should do it. if not me, then then who's going to do it? because you have to take a little bit of responsibility in your path as well as to where you end up. and so that's the hope that there's going to at some point, we won't be having these conversations and, and women will be managing and we don't have to talk about it anymore. >> i was going to say, so what's what's going to be next for marty? what's what do you think it should be. >> what's the where should she

go? there's so many barriers. >> yeah, i know right there really still are. right? >> i mean, we talk about her maybe playing. yeah. so that would be kind of cool. maybe. see that. and, you know, i mean, the, the opportunities are really endless. and being women's history month, it's, you know, throw them out to me. let me know where you think marty should go next. she's been an amazing character to write about and very cathartic for me. there's a lot of me in there. there's a lot of my mom, there's a lot of my daughter, there's a lot of my grandmother, my baseball career was very influenced by women, so she can go anywhere she wants. absolutely no limitations. we what has the what has it been like to become a children's author? >> i mean, you know, you get a lot of feedback as a, as a, as a broadcaster, as a broadcaster. we get we get a lot of feedback. but i imagine the responses you get might be a little bit different when you become the author of children's books like this and especially a series, what sort of sticks with you the feedback you get, especially from younger readers? that's a great question. >> it's actually still kind of

surreal for me to have that title, because originally when i was approached by the boutique publisher in petaluma, which is my home, cameron kids, it was them asking, would you write this? would you write a children's book about baseball? we think there's kind of a void for this age group of like 6 to 9. we're not we don't have a lot of stories. and i just kind of giggled. i was like, no, i can't do that. it was 2012. the giants are getting ready to go to the playoffs. and i'm like, that's funny, you know? no. and it was my grandmother who marty is inspired by and named after. and we were losing her. she was very ill that year and we knew we were going to lose her. and i went to her after this meeting and said, can you believe i can't do this? there's no way. and she said, you need to do it. and so when i lost my grandmother november of 2012, then something really clicked for me that i had a chance to immortalize her and introduce her to everyone else. and so what sticks with me is really in

in my first book, it it's reading about my relationship with my grandmother. and so the age span of who buys these books or who wants these books is incredible because it's not really just targeted to kids, grandparents, and parents buy it. and, you know, baseball transcends and so it's been an amazing experience. and i get to always have a little bit of my grandma with me. that is wonderful. >> all right. the book is marty marty takes the field amy g. it's been a pleasure. thank you for coming in. thank you for having me. absolutely. heather, over to you. >> all right. thank you both. back now to our bay area weather as we take a live look at beautiful mount diablo. want to bring back rosemary? now for a look at the full forecast. and rosemary. gosh, a really nice day out there today. >> yes. and we are going to have another nice one tomorrow. heather, before the rain returns on wednesday. a live look here over a san francisco where we have partly sunny conditions. now it is a little breezy out there and if you're caught up in
