Chances are good that you’re already familiar with the picture book sensation turned childhood classic, Bear Snores On. But do you know the woman who wrote it? Karma Wilson has come up with some of her best ideas while eating ice cream or visiting the zoo. She was saved as a child, in a way, by C.S. Lewis’s Narnia. And… she homeschooled her own kids for many years as a way to ensure that they would love reading as much as she felt they deserved to love it. In this episode, you’ll hear:  * How Karma regularly breaks all the writing “rules” * Where she gets her ideas (and do those perfect rhymes just occur to her?) * How a fabulous teacher and a permission slip to the school library solidified her love of reading (just wait till you hear the book that did it) 📄 Click here to read the transcript.
