# Kate DiCamillo and Sophie Blackall: National Book Festival 2021

Newbery winner Kate DiCamillo and Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall discuss "The Beatryce Prophecy" (Candlewick), which centers on Beatryce, a mysterious girl with a head full of stories, as she ventures into a dark wood in search of the castle of one who wishes her dead - armed with the knowledge that those who love her will never give up looking for her. Bonus content: Library staff member Sasha Dowdy and her daughter Summer introduce kids and families to songs and rhymes recorded at Blue Ridge Elementary School in Ararat, Virginia in September 1978 that are preserved in the American Folklife Center. In the video, Sasha and Summer perform a handclap game and a jump rope rhyme together and invite families to follow along.
