The Black Stallion; Dear Me: Letters to Myself, For All of My Emotions – an interview with Dr. William A. Haseltine

Podcast #106

For my one hundred sixth Dream Gardens children’s books podcast, I interviewed Dr. William A. Haseltine about two children’s books: The Black Stallion by Walter Farley, the classic story of a boy and his horse; and Dear Me: Letters to Myself, For All of My Emotions by Donna  Tetreault, illustrated by Elisena Bonadio, a picture book guide for young children on understanding and coping with all of their feelings.

Dr. Haseltine is a scientist and author, and he is the Chair and President of ACCESS Health International. His books include COVID: A Family Guide to Covid, A Covid Back to School Guide, and My Lifelong Fight Against Disease: From Polio and AIDS to COVID-19. His latest book for younger readers is  Science as a Superpower: My Lifelong Fight Against Disease and the Heroes Who Made it Possible. You can find his website at williamhaseltine.com.

In addition, after the interview I will be reading the next two chapters of my own debut Middle Grade novel Hush-a-bye, chapters five and six. You can find chapters one and two at the end of my podcast interview with Ben Zhu. You can find chapters three and four at the end of my podcast interview with Amy Makechnie. For more information about my debut novel, please visit my author page at jodyleemott.com.
