☕ ☕ ☕ CAN’T GET ENOUGH: Cool and interesting interview about Nerdy Birdy. Is it just me, or does the interviewer, Becky Anderson, resemble Vicki Lawrence from the Carol Burnett Show? Same lovely smile 🙂

  1. Ooh – cute a.) glasses, and b.) butterbeer mug. I’m possibly interested in butterbeer, although I’m a little afraid to drink something that sounds … like it might be cream soda with butter in it.

    I love the ideas behind Nerdy Birdie – thanks for linking to the little booktalk, too. EVERY book that keeps helping kids walk the walk about inclusivity is such an amazing thing.

    1. Agree about the cuteness. I’m very curious to try some butterbeer too. And Nerdy Birdy is wonderful — can’t wait to see President Squid!

  2. I love all of Aaron Reynolds’ books, so enjoyed this ‘extra’ information very much, Jama. Because his favorite is butterbeer, I guess I’ll need to try some. Thanks for the great interview ‘extra’, too.
