Newly Crowned Caldecott Medalist Rebecca Lee Kunz Interview

February 25, 2025 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

COLBY: When Chooch Helped was awarded the Caldecott Medal I was in shock. Not because I didn’t love the book, but because I hadn’t heard of it! The first thing I did was find a copy to read (I loved it!). The second thing I did was reach out to Rebecca to see if I could interview her for The Yarn. She said yes!

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
