Casey asked Kate DiCamillo:

The Tale of Despereaux is by far one of my favorite books. It bothered me that the movie wasn't exactly like the book. Did that bother you and how much input do you have in regards to the movie?

Caitlin asked Kate DiCamillo:

My daughters and I have been reading all of the Mercy Watson together. They would like to know why you chose "toast with a great deal of butter" as Mercy's favorite food.

Janet Aljunaidi asked Kate DiCamillo:

My 12-yr-old wrote that she loved your characters because "None of them are perfect, but they all mean well. Like the preacher tries hard to be a good dad, but he's always busy with being a preacher." Do your characters show up in your head with a flaw already or as the story comes out the flaw(s) reveal themselves? Thank you!
