Kate DiCamillo:
I am a huge fan of your books and my pre-k loves Mercy Watson. They ask daily if you've "made" a new Mercy Watson book yet. Thank you for those stories! What do you feel is your biggest challenge as the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature? Thank you again for such wonderful stories and for taking the time to answer our questions.

Hi Melinda. The biggest challenge is this task: putting myself in front of as many people (children and adults) as I can and reminding them of what they already know to be true: stories matter. Stories are necessary. Stories connect us. Reading together is a pleasure, a joy, and a privilege.
As for that Mercy Watson: tell your students that there are going to be Further Tales from Deckawoo Drive. The first one comes out this fall. It is about Leroy Ninker.
