Summary
Today’s episode is a bit of a departure, because I’m talking to my pal James Kennedy, author of The Order of Odd-Fish and creator of The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. The festival asks kids to make films inspired by great works of children’s literature, so I thought our listeners might be interested.
