| Q: I am working on I Will Dance, and at the end of the children's book there is an "About" page for the Young Dance arts community. |

| How do I format this in the book? Do I transcribe the text underneath the image and describe the kids stretching in the alt-text as I've done with the rest of the book? Or do I remove this image (because it's decorative), replace with text and a header, and title it About Young Dance (header 1)? The text did not separate from the images in the conversion of this book, so I am having trouble figuring out how to appropriately keep this information. Thanks in advance! |

| A: If the images are decorative remove the image. About the Author page and About Young Dance page are considers images of text and **always** need to be fully transcribed. Add appropriate headings and style content as normal. |
