Bookshop Interview with Author Andy Honda, Episode #262

This week on The Bookshop at the End of the Internet , I'm chatting with author Andy Honda , the creative mind behind the charming children's series Koa's Ruff Life . Inspired by her real-life rescue pup, Koa—a lovable Rhodesian Ridgeback—Andy's stories follow his adventures across New York City. From the Central Park Zoo to Bryant Park to Christmas in the city, each book celebrates the small, magical moments she and Koa share, sprinkled with fun NYC facts to spark curiosity in young readers. In our conversation, Andy opens up about her unexpected path from science to storytelling, the joy she finds in writing for kids, and the meaningful volunteer work she and Koa do in children's hospitals and special‑needs schools. Tune in to hear about Andy's journey, Koa's adventures, and the love letter to NYC behind this delightful series.
