Q & A with Wednesday Kirwan
We had a chance to sit down with Minerva the Monster author Wednesday Kirwan and ask her about the inspiration behind the adorably rambunctious Minerva and some of her own childhood stories.

I do all of my best thinking while I am on long walks with my dog.

Announcing Richard Scarry...
Sterling is proud to welcome one of the best-selling children’s authors of all time Richard Scarry.
