Kari, Lee and I all go back to the early days that we were published. It's been quite exciting to be there for each other as we grew as writers, and though Kari has moved to the other side of the world (Toronto) we are still managing to keep in touch.

In this episode of ALU, you get to meet Kari and hear this brilliant academic - not only as an educator, but as a child-like author. Her picture books are well worth reading, as they combine both aspects of her personality.
