From Katy: 
When I was a senior at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, I co-wrote (with my best friend, who now edits wonderful children’s books, herself) an arts and literature column in our school newspaper. As part of that, I was thrilled to interview Tomie dePaola about writing and how he came to create children’s books. He also signed my favorite, read-to-pieces, childhood copy of his book, The Knight and the Dragon, which is a story about a knight, a dragon, and books. You can read the interview here:
