Becky Scharnhorst – How to Get Your Octopus to School

Host Nadia Salomon chats with author Becky Scharnhorst about her latest picture book, HOW TO GET YOUR OCTOPUS TO SCHOOL, a sweet, silly back-to-school story about an octopus who would rather play hide-and-seek than give school a chance. During their conversation, Becky talks about using the octopus's real-life characteristics to develop her character. Plus, they discuss pursuing dreams and goals while dealing with anxiety. And why you should open that drawer of old manuscripts every once in a while.  Podcast Website: https://picturebooking.com/ Feature Book Affiliate Link: https://bookshop.org/a/14436/9780593205228 Guest Website: https://beckyscharnhorst.com/
