In this episode we are joined by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo! Kate is the author of Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, The Mercy Watson series, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Flora & Ulysses, Raymie Nightingale, The Beatryce Prophecy, The Puppets of Spelhorst, Orris & Timble, Ferris, and The Hotel Balzaar, and many more.
This episode also is chock-full of the thoughtful silliness you know and love. And gulches. Lot of gulches.
THIS SEASON we want to hear from you. Send us an audio recording of a book recommendation and a question, and you might end up featured on the show! Email those to podcasts@goldberrybooks.com
Also, leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts, and your review might be read on the show as well.
A note about this season: David and I will be doing some traveling this summer, which will most likely cause a few gaps in the recording process. So if you don’t see Withywindle in your feed some weeks, don’t fret!
