Why We Write

Children's book author Susan Goodman writes books that are humorous, honest, and sometimes historical. Case in point, her book titles include The Truth About Poop, The First Step: How One Girl Put Segregation on Trial, and See How They Run: Campaign Dreams, Election Schemes, and the Race to the White House. Her award-winning books grow out of Susan's myriad interests and never fail to engage, enlighten, and challenge young readers. In this episode, Erika Thulin Dawes interviews Susan about how she got into kids' books, fostering other creative writers, and more.
