Great Books

I’m a big fan of the Zoey and Sassafrass series, written by Asia Citro (as you can tell here). When she agreed to an interview with me, I may have had a bit of a fangirl freakout. But I’m not about to admit that here!

Asia Citro’s fourth book of the Zoey and Sassafras series, Caterflies and Ice, came out last November. I was lucky enough to interview her and talk a little bit about her characters, writing process, and bugs. Yes, bugs!

Though I’ve not met her in person, she is warm, funny, and her love of bugs is infectious. There’s also a little surprise contained within!

When Asia Citro first advertised her series Zoey & Sassafras, I jumped at the opportunity to read them. The books are about a young girl with a cat that includes science and magic? Count me in! My kids and I have devoured these books because I love this series. Lucky for us, the series keeps growing and the 8th book is coming out in October, 2020. Here’s why I love the Zoey and Sassafras books so much!

I’ve followed Asia Citro’s blog for a few years now. I found it when I was looking for fun, messy play activities I could recreate at home for my littles. Her younger child is right around the same age as my kiddos, so she has many safe, fun activities for very young kids. In addition to messy play activities, she’s also written a book series about a young scientist and her mom. Young Zoey needs to run experiments in order to help out magical creatures. It’s fantastic!

Okay, so I love it, but what do my kids think?
