When We Were Very Young: an interview with Laura Sassi Dream Gardens: Talking Up the Children's Books We Love

Podcast #069







For my sixty-ninth Dream Gardens kid lit podcast, I interviewed author Laura Sassi about the children’s book of poems When We Were Very Young , written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Told from the viewpoint of children, this assortment of poems about everything from boots to Buckingham Palace has been a favorite of kids and adults since it first came out in 1924. And if you look very closely, you might even catch an early appearance of Milne’s most famous creation, Winnie the Pooh.







Laura Sassi is author of the picture books Goodnight Manger and Goodnight Ark as well as Diva Delores and the Opera House Mouse and Love is Kind, both of which came out in 2018. You can find Laura’s website at laurasassitales.wordpress.com.

My next podcast will be with author Theresa Julian about the classic children’s book Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary. It will be published on Monday, February 3rd , 2020.
