Om avsnittet

✨ Christmas School is here! Get your simple plan for peaceful Christmas season and join us for a 3-week family book club looking at the Nativity with fresh eyes. Learn more! ✨


Today, I am over the moon to welcome one of my very favorite guests back to the show. She’s been on the show and visited us in RAR Premium several times over the years and I always love our conversations.


You know her as the author of some of your kids’ favorite books, like the Mercy Watson series, The Tale of Despereaux, and Because of Winn-Dixie. That’s right, Kate DiCamillo is back!


She’s here to tell us all about the brand-new, absolutely gorgeous 20th anniversary edition of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. I don’t know about you, but I have a weakness for collector’s editions and friends and I know I’m going to be putting this one on my keepers shelf and I think you will too.


In our chat, we talk about writing to serve the story, not to please others, the real-life gift that inspired The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, and lots more! 


In this episode, you’ll hear:  

  • The stories from teachers and parents about Edward Tulane that capture the power of read-alouds 
  • How literature is made by the synergy of the writer, the reader, and the story
  • Why there’s only one wrong way to be a writer
