This week on The Heart of Art we speak to Kathi Appelt '72. She is known for her children's & Y.A books and has won numerous awards such as National Book Award finalist, Newberry Honor Book and PEN USA Award. We have a great conversation about why it is that she writes, how the setting guides her stories, and why she began writing books after originally not even wanting to have children herself.
