Pickle is one of author, Kathryn Erskine’s favorite words, and I don’t blame her-it’s a great word to say! However, that’s not the only word that Kathryn knows- she’s also details a few favorite words and their fascinating origins in this video interview.
I met Erskine in person when she was speaking at the Virginia English Teachers Conference (VATE) this past November. Kathryn is a great author who writes both historical and contemporary fiction, and her books are enjoyable and inspiring reads.
I highly recommend you check her out, and consider scheduling a keynote or Skype visit with her, as we met for the first time on Skype when she talked virtually at my Ohio English Teachers Conference (OCTELA). She is definitely a great author to hear present, as I have had the privilege twice now!
