RAR #100: Jeanne Birdsall, The Penderwicks, and over 4 Million Downloads

Can you believe it? It’s Episode 100!  And amazingly, we just crossed over a pretty huge milestone here at The Read-Aloud Revival: over 4 million downloads of the podcast.

You know, I couldn’t have picked a better guest for this week’s 100th episode celebration. In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Jeanne Birdsall, author of the Penderwicks series.

The final book in the series, The Penderwicks at Last is available today, so your Penderwicks fans are going to want to get their hands on that right away.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• what is was like for Jeanne to get her first book published
• how she always imagined the Penderwicks series as one single story
• which books inspired her writing (I bet you can guess a few!)
