Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Draw Me a Star by Eric Carle

We're back! And just in time to honor Eric Carle with a brand new book. What better one to do than the one that's been banned several times around the country? We talk nudity, sassy suns (or lack thereof), and Kate selects a new potential tattoo. Listen in!
