Lisa Fipps on the Stories Bouncing Around in Her Head

August 30, 2024 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

COLBY: Last spring I read aloud Lisa’s new book And Then, Boom! aloud to my 5th graders. It was a magical experience. I jumped at the opportunity to interview her for The Yarn. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

If you would rather watch an unedited video of our conversation, you can check that out below.

If you liked the episode be sure to check out our first episode with Lisa, where we talked about her Printz Honor winning book Starfish.
