New York Times bestseller Annie Barrows and two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall are joining us to discuss their much-awaited new chapter book: Stella & Marigold: Mermaids and Mixups!

In the follow-up to Stella and Marigold, the titular sisters receive gifts from their aunt — purple books for writing all sorts of things in, from their most secret thoughts (this puzzles them) to the names of all their best friends. But with twenty-five spaces for names, the sisters panic: they don’t have enough friends! What follows is a series of hilarious misadventures as they try to fill up their lists in the silliest of ways that only these two wonderful sisters could come up with.

Chock-full of beautiful illustrations, hilarity, and heart, it’s a read that you just don’t want to miss!
