I had to step in and finish a project for a woman who went out on maternity leave. Got the correspondence she's had with the folks she's doing the work for. A whole littany of nonsense "we don't like this, do what we say" feedback, and every single time, her response was "please clarify."
These folks expressed a lot of relief when we met up to discuss how to finish the work. "Really excited" to get some "fresh eyes" on everything.
So they gave me similar feedback and I politely asked them to clarify.
Hey, it's not my project. Far be it from me to change up the working relationship so late in the game. That would be presumptuous.

Children's books are written by celebrity females who want to check off "published author" on their bucket list.

Yes but they generally don't win Caldecotts for them.
