Kate Narita, a children’s
book author and fourth grade teacher in Massachusetts, has recently started a terrific
podcast called Chalk + Ink. It’s intended for Teachers Who Write and Writers Who Teach.
Not long ago, I sat down with Kate for a fascinating conversation that included:
–tips and tools
for teaching informational writing
–the lie I told just about everyone for
years
–the brand-new anthology Nonfiction Writers Dig Deep, which I
edited
–the heart-wrenching inspiration behind my book Pipsqueaks, Slowpokes,
and Stinkers: Celebrating Animal Underdogs
I also
recommended two books I think should be in every elementary classroom and
discussed the cornucopia of education resources on my website.
I hope you’ll
give it a listen.

Looking forward to listening 🙂
Chalk and Ink sounds like a fabulous podcast. I peeked at the episodes, and there are some great topics! I'll be listening to this episode and others!
Thanks for the new podcast rec! I just started reading your book. It's fabulous! We're going to be discussing it in 12×12, I believe.
