Podcast #100

For my one hundredth Dream Gardens children’s books podcast (100!), I interviewed author Crystal Maldonado  about the classic picture book Corduroy by Don Freeman. It is a story about a young girl, a stuffed bear, a department store escalator ride, and a missing button, but it is also a story about friendship, adventure, and imagination.

Crystal Maldonado’s debut YA novel Fat Chance, Charlie Vega  was released in February. You can find her website at www.crystalwrote.com.
