A First Time For Everything by Dan Santat

February 25, 2023 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

COLBY: Chatting with Cadlecott-Medal winning creator Dan Santat for this episode of The Yarn was so much fun. We talked about how Dan decided to tell this story, his hope for the book, and the people that he reconnected with during the process of writing A First Time For Everything.

I hope you enjoy this episode of The Yarn!
