From the archives: Author Drew Brockington sends kids and cats to space with 'CatStronauts'

From the archives: Author Drew Brockington sends kids and cats to space with 'CatStronauts'

It’s kids' lit week on Big Books and Bold Ideas. On Friday at 11 a.m., Kerri Miller will talk to Minnesota author Kelly Barnhill about her new novel for young readers. She’ll also get top picks for summer reading from Kitty Felde, host of the podcast Book Club for Kids. So we thought it would be fun to reprise a delightful 2019 conversation with author, illustrator and space nerd, Drew Brockington, creator of the hit series, “CatStronauts,” as our archive this week.
