Guest: Kate DiCamillo, Author, "Lousiana's Way Home" Children’s author Kate DiCamillo does not shy away from the hard stuff. Her tales weave themes of abandonment, loss, and fear, while also highlighting hope and resilience. You may have heard of her two Newberry Medal winning books, The Tale of Despereaux and Flora & Ulysses. Her latest novel is called “Louisiana’s Way Home.” The book centers on 12-year-old Louisiana who lives an unstable life with her Granny. In fact, the book begins when her Granny forces them to leave their home in the middle of the night, without warning.
