With two people, the closer you get, there comes a point where there’s something about them that bothers you. The book is about an unlikely friendship. Like, open it up, and if you read it, you could sound brilliant. When I started writing Skunk and Badger, I was thinking about how I could tell a story that could be read aloud. My dad and mom read our stories out loud. But Skunk is Badger’s new roommate, and there is nothing Badger can do about it. Skunks should never, ever be allowed to move in. They should not linger in Important Rock Rooms. Did you like stories when you were a kid?
