Author interview with Rebecca Wood Barrett - Whistler Writers Festival I still have a 10-year-old Becky inside me, and that kid wants me to write stories that are exciting, thoughtful, and have funny characters.

I feel like I have different ages of "me" inside my brain. One is 10 and the other is around 35. I'm far beyond those two ages but I like shifting back into their mindsets. I connect with them to write my children's books, especially 10-year-old me at summer camp!

What are the ages you live with?

I'm totally psyched (remember that, 80's kids!) to be invited to give a presentation for @wordvancouver.bsky.social's classroom visits at Surrey Central Library, with my novel My Summer Camp Has Mega Sloths. I love getting the kids stoked about reading and adventuring! βœοΈπŸ»πŸΎπŸ“—πŸ“•πŸ“˜
