Bianca with Betsy Bird on Long Road to the Circus

In this episode, I talk with award-winning writer and librarian
Betsy Bird about Long Road to the Circus.

Betsy Bird’s books include Funny Girl, an anthology of humorous
stories; and the picture books Giant Dance Party and The Great
Santa Stakeout. Illustrated by Caldecott Medalist David Small
(Imogene’s Antlers), Long Road to the Circus is the story of a
girl who rides an ostrich straight to her dreams. In this super
fun chat, we discuss the story, the characters, and
Betsy’s inspirations for writing it.


As the Collection Development Manager of the Evanston Public
Library and the former Youth Materials Specialist of New
York Public Library,  Betsy also shares her answer to a
wonderful question from a fellow librarian.
