I enjoyed talking to Sarah Janssen the Executive Editor for The World Almanac 2023.

The World Almanac is  such a great book for everyone–especially authors. I have been reading it since I was a kid and remember getting excited about all the facts that sent my mind roaming around the world: the longest river, the capitals of countries, the tallest buildings, the biggest animals,  and all the other fun and interesting facts

I love Sarah’s enthusiasm as how she and her team put together this massive book together each year.
