In this episode, I’m chatting with Caldecott Honor winner Lauren Castillo. She’s authored and/or illustrated a long list of books we love including What Happens on Wednesday, This is a Story, Nana in the City, Our Friend Hedgehog and many, many more. 

Today, we’re taking a closer look at her newest book: Just Like Millie. This book is an ode to introverts and their four-legged friends that help show them what’s possible. 

Come listen as we talk about how Lauren’s career got started, the inspiration behind Just Like Millie and how she illustrates her books so creatively and beautifully. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
