Travis: Our initial idea for The Yarn: One Book, All Angles.

In Season 1, we focused on the graphic novel Sunny Side Up:

Season 2 of The Yarn kicks off today. This time around, we’re following Gertie’s Leap to Greatness by debut author Kate Beasley.

Gertie

 

In this episode you’ll hear from Kate, but also from a familiar voice from Season 1.

We hope you enjoy the show.
