9.5 Karen Cushman Whipples us into Shape

3

That’s right! Karen Cushman has arrived on Withywindle! 🎉

Karen Cushman is the author of The Midwife’s Apprentice (winner of the 1996 Newbery Medal), Catherine, Called Birdy (a Newbery Honor book), The Ballad of Lucy Whipple (winner of the John and Patricia Beatty Award), and several other prize-winning novels published by Clarion Books. Her newest book is When Sally O’Malley Discovered the Sea.

Karen started writing at age 49, and likes “to write about gutsy girls figuring out who they are, and have no plans to stop writing until I am at least a hundred.”

This episode also features all the nonsense you’d expect, of course. Enjoy!

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!
