I got a great opportunity to interview a former young reporter, Dee Catalan, a member of the Tucson Village Farm (TVF). Dee helps out with their program for kids. The TVF was formed in 2010 by Leza Carter and Elizabeth Sparks. It was made so that kids would learn where their food came from and to create hands-on experiences for them.

The Magna Carta was a document that was signed by King John of England as a peace treaty between him and people who rebelled against him. Harvard Law School is believed to have an incredibly rare copy of the Magna Carta. It was from the 14th century, and the actual Magna Carta was written in the 13th century.

I had the pleasure of interviewing an amazing author and interfaith activist, Saadia Faruqi. She has written books for different age groups. I met her at the Tucson Festival of Books at the U of A campus.

She has written books for all ages, including the Yasmin series for early readers. Faruqi says she was 8 years old when she began to write stories, but she didn't get serious about writing novels until later.
