Kate DiCamillo — For the Eight-Year-Old in You

Each and every adult is a former eight-year-old, wide open with yearning and possibility; understanding exactly how troubled the adults around you are, even if they think they are hiding it from you; almost unbearably alert to the world’s wonders and its dangers all at once. And that’s the reason you should listen to this conversation with Kate DiCamillo.

Kate has written many bestselling books, including Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, The Magician’s Elephant, Flora & Ulysses, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, The Beatryce Prophecy, and the Mercy Watson series. She is a rare two-time winner of the Newbery Medal.
