My guest today is bestselling children’s fiction author, Kate DiCamillo. Kate is a former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature and a two-time Newbery Medalist. We talk about her literary career, and new book “The Puppets of Spelhorst” during this episode. The 5 questions I ask in this episode: Why did growing up with chronic pneumonia draw you to read books? How did receiving 473 rejection letters motivate you? How have you been able to observe the world through the eyes of children as an adult? What can children take away from reading your new book “The Puppets of Spelhorst”? What’s your best piece of career advice? Video interview: Follow Kate’s journey: Book Website Facebook
