Author of the book, Pedro’s Pan Matthew Lasley is coming out with a new book called “Max and Ed Bike to Nome.” Based on the true story of a man who rode his bicycle 900 miles down the frozen Yukon River in January 1900, this book dives into the charming bond between a man and his bike as they face a number of challenges along their way. Lasley discusses how his childhood growing up in the Bush informs his characters and about his journey becoming a children’s book author. This week we also share a reading from his first book, “Pedro’s Pan.”
