Uncommon Sense brings to life the magical world of Newberry award-winning children?s author Nancy Willard, as we trace the chain of inspirations leading to her latest book, The Moon & Riddles Diner and the Sunnyside Cafe. Using a combination of interviews, puppetry, and Nancy?s natural gift for teaching, Uncommon Sense explores how whimsy, play, and memory form the seeds of new characters and stories ? a process guaranteed to enchant aspiring storytellers, poets, and artists of all ages, as well as anyone interested in the mysteries of the creative process. So welcome to Nancy?s world ? a place where soda cans, broken valves, and even turkey bones contain the seeds of stories, and inspiration comes as naturally as breathing!
