Returning: Kate Dicamillo, Kate Albus, Kate Butler, Daniel Nayeri, Andrew Peterson, Millie Florence, Mitali Perkins, Sarah Mackenzie, Jonathan Rodgers, Carolyn Leiloglu, Jennifer Trafton, Anna James. Logan should also come on again!
New: Douglas Kaine McKelvey, author of The Angel Knew Papa and the Dog
Sandra Boynton, illustrator
Oliver Jeffers, author/illustrator
Phillip and Erin Ulrich, authors of the Growly books
Chris van Dusen, illustrator of the Mercy Watson series by Kate Dicamillo. Have them on together!
Sophie Blackall, illustrator
Linsay Mattick, author of Finding Winnie and Winnie's Great War
M.I. McAllister, author of the Mistmantle books
I think it would be really fun to have an editor on as well!
Great list and we definitely second Mark Forrester, J.A. Sommer, Rebecca Gomez, and Jonny Jimison! (And maybe some of the poets from "I've Got a Bad Case of Poetry"?)
(Emphasis)N.D. Wilson, Christine Cohen, Daniel Nayari, definately Jeanne Birdsall, I need to go back and read the Penderwick family; and I think I've heard of John Flanagan so him too. can't speak for James Ponti since i haven't read any of his. I'm sure he will be delightful.
I forgot about her. I loved The Lost City series though it was too long for me to get through. I ran out of steam after the first two books. Once she gets the graphic novels out though I'll breeze through them.

Ummm, yeah Logan would be awesome. How long have been working on this list? You even have references?!?!?! And catagorization!
I just copied and pasted my list from last year. 🤣
LOL, that's funny. it's sad though that you didn't have to make any changes.
It is sad. I haven't really been reading any books by authors that are still alive that haven't been on the podcast already.
Also M.I. McAllister. I've wanted to read the Mistmantle chronicles but they aren't at my Library and are hard to find.
All the books have been reprinted and are available from Purple House Press!
Cool, I'll have to see i my Library can get an inter-Library loan.
Love the idea of Chris van Dusen and Kate Dicamillo together! (And also love the Growly books! Great suggestion!)
Definitely M.I. McAllister.
