Todd Parr is an award-winning Children's Book Author (and illustrator!) He has authored more than 50 books for kids that have been translated into 15 languages! Four of which were published just this year! (which in book land, is just CRAZY PANTS unheard of!) Many of his books are about hard situations like losing a loved one, feeling different & why being unique is awesome. Which is obviously up my alley! I was super stoked to have Todd on the podcast. We talk about how he got started in this crazy book journey, why we need kindness in this world, & how not knowing what you're doing can help you get to where you want to go! If you're an aspiring children's illustrator, this episode will inspire you by the serendipitous way Todd started his career. From books to working with incredible brands like FAO Schwartz & Sesame Street! (ahh!) Even if you're not an illustrator, you'll love Todd's exuberant spirit! Mentionables: Dealing with Dyslexia. Going outside the box. Dealing with people who don't understand you. Serendipity. Head to www.jenipherlyn.com/blog/39 to read the show notes, and see Todd's amazing FAO Schwartz windows! Eep!

Here, in the latest episode of the “Office Hours” podcast series produced by Penn Today, which explores the minds of the University’s academic talents in a more unbuttoned and freewheeling setting outside of the lecture hall, Thomas discusses growing up with limited children’s literature options, where young adult and children’s lit is going today, why she still hasn’t watched “The Wire,” and what she thinks is an overrated virtue.
Try not to get too spooked as we re-read R.L. Stine's Goosebumps! Emma forgets how the show works. Danica reads the wrong book?? Emma shares a paranormal experience.
In this episode, Ardo and Yash discuss projects they're involved in and the #MeToo movement finding itself in the Children's Lit community. They start talking about what they've read at the 33:45 mark which includes some March releases. Some corrections in the episode: They said Tomi Adeyemi was 23 years old but she's actually 24 and they speculated that her debut book, Children of Blood and Bone, would be a success and it was! It found itself on the New York Times Bestsellers List. The logo was designed by Nick Hanover. The theme song and break music is from Haris Qureshi’s song Give AF. You can find his album here. Everything mention in the episode can be found on Goodreads. You can also find the podcast on Twitter and Instagram at @PutABlurbOnIt.

The Mary Poppins Series The Harry Potter Series The Laura Ingalls Series The Doldrums - Nicholas Gannon Anything - Susan Branch The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern Four Seasons in Rome - Anthony Doerr Anne of Green Gables - Lucy Maud Montgomery Quotes from this Episode: “Owning my own business has opened up a lot of doors for me.” - Nikki “I looked at what the professionals were doing and I did it too.” - Nikki, on being self-taught “I don’t think you ever lose that feeling of being a fraud... I like what I do. That’s all I need.” - Nikki “What I’m hearing is that everybody just feels like they are completely winging it.” - Ashley “It’s great when other creative people can be honest and say ‘Nope, I’m totally faking it over here! How about you?!?’” - Abbigail “If you don’t like what you’re doing, it’s not going to work.” - Nikki “No 9-5 job, no kids, no schedule… it sounds like a dream, but it can really mean 60 or 70 hour work weeks because there are no boundaries.” - Ashley “Make creativity easy for yourself.” - Abbigail “I’m completely different than I was at 22, and it’s only been 4 years.” - Nikki “We feel so much pressure to make money off of everything. It can be just as successful to have a steady job and work on the things that you really care about. Sometimes the pressure takes all of the fun out of it.” - Ashley “I’m excited to leave work and come home and work on creative things that I really want to do.” - Nikki “It it gets rejected or doesn’t get in, it’s OK. At least I wrote it.” - Ashley, on creating for the sake of creating “I think it’s good to mix personal and business... People want to know the you behind the business.” - Nikki “I love the kiddish wonder in things.” - Nikki “I’m 26-going-on-5.” - Nikki
