Author Amy Timberlake’s new children’s book, “Skunk and Badger,” tells the story of two unlikely animal friends. The book was also illustrated by renowned artist Jon Klassen.

“This story I would describe it as sort of Wallace and Gromit kind of meets Winnie-the-Pooh and a little bit of The Odd Couple,” said Timberlake.

“City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with Timberlake ahead of her Little Shop of Stories virtual event Wednesday evening. Timberlake will be in conversation with author Mark Shulman.
