Host Nadia Salomon chats with author Becky Scharnhorst about her latest picture book, HOW TO GET YOUR OCTOPUS TO SCHOOL, a sweet, silly back-to-school story about an octopus who would rather play hide-and-seek than give school a chance.

During their conversation, Becky talks about using the octopus's real-life characteristics to develop her character. Plus, they discuss pursuing dreams and goals while dealing with anxiety. And why you should open that drawer of old manuscripts every once in a while.
