Raymie Nightingale

Kate DiCamillo, two-time Newbery-winning author most recently of Raymie Nightingale, stops by the podcast to talk about her time as the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, how you can’t write anything without revealing yourself, and likening writing a story to trying to get a wild animal to eat out of your hand.

  1. OK, Matthew, first you made Kate cry, then ultimately you made me cry (not the first time!) when you were telling Kate how much we all love her and all the things about her writing that we love (couldn’t have said it better!), which also made HER cry. Thank you both for this. Just beautiful.
