KATE DICAMILLO
“I wanted stories, as a kid, that dealt with the world the way I saw it, which was tragic and wonderful, light and dark,” Kate DiCamillo once said in an interview with Jeffrey Brown for PBS’s NewsHour. Perhaps that’s why all of her novels have been a hit with kids and critics alike. Because of Winn-Dixie was named a Newbery Honor Book, made into a major motion picture, and called “the best kind of down-home literary treat” by Newbery Award-winning author Karen Hesse. The Tiger Rising is a National Book Award finalist, The Tale of Despereaux won the 2003 Newbery Medal and inspired a blockbuster movie and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is the winner of the Boston Globe Horn Book Award. Her picture books and chapter books are equally irresistible. We can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
