Let's get to know Wild WillieThis week is a very special episode because I had the pleasure of chatting with 12-year-old Canadian booklover and YouTuber Wild Willie. Wild Willie’s Reviews focus on Canadian authors, especially Atlantic authors and he’s also been known to go on location throughout Nova Scotia to meet them. Enjoy our interview and Wild Willie's book recommendations. I think it's VERY cool that Willie's love of books began when his mom (Sarah Butland) read her children's books to him. CLICK HERE to see the books that captured his imagination. Check out Wild Willie's Reviews on YouTube and while you're there be sure to show your support and subscribe to his channel.
