Kate Messner Introduces The Kids in Mrs.’s Z’s Class

April 29, 2024 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

COLBY: When I first heard about the new series The Kids in Mrs. Z’s Class, I had a hard time wrapping my brain around the concept. Seventeen authors each writing a book about the kids in one third grade classroom seemed impossible. Then I started to read the list of writers that would be contributing to the project. With this amazing group of writers anything is possible!

I had a blast chatting with one of those authors, and series coordinator, Kate Messner about this very ambitious series. I hope you enjoy our conversation!
