Welcome to Chapter 84! My guest this month is Sara Causey. Sara is an award-winning author, artist, and illustrator whose work often explores power, conscience, creativity, and the uneasy tension between public image and private truth.

She is best known for her tireless efforts to preserve the life and legacy of UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld, including the award-winning biography Decoding the Unicorn: A New Look at Dag Hammarskjöld and the forthcoming Simply Dag: The Private Man in a Public—and Dangerous—Office.

In addition to her Hammarskjold books, Sara writes and illustrates books for children, including a new series designed to help kids (and adults) learn a second language.
