“The Stars Aligned” – Brendan Wenzel on The Yarn

April 29, 2018 by Travis Jonker   Leave a Comment

Brendan Wenzel

Travis: They All Saw a Cat is one of those rare unforgettable books. It’s become one of the most popular picture books in my K-4th grade school library. And critics are on board too (see above photo). In this episode I talk to Brendan Wenzel about how the book came to be, and what it was like to win a Caldecott Honor.

We hope you enjoy the show.
