Podcast #090

For my ninetieth Dream Gardens children’s books podcast, I interviewed author Amy Hest about the middle grade novel Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary. When Leigh Botts writes a letter to his favorite writer, Boyd Henshaw, little does he suspect that response he gets will lead him on a journey to learn what it takes to be a writer. A classic children’s novel about writing and living and knowing when to let go.

Amy Hest is author of many books, such as  Remembering Mrs. Rossi, When Charly Met Grandpa,  The Dog Who Belonged To No One, and Letters to Leo. Her latest novel is The Summer We Found the Baby. You can find her website at www.amyhest.com.
