Podcast appearances and mentions of Lucy Knisley

On this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two fantastic creators who help families see the world—and their walks around the block—a little differently. First, Jed chats with Matt Van Rensburg, author of the Reading With Your Kids Certified Great Read "How to Sell the World: The Stonehearted Story of Greyson Grimm." Matt explains the unforgettable premise: Greyson is the caretaker of the world, tasked with eating invisible "bad thingamajigs" that appear whenever people are unkind. His work keeps the world in balance, but each bite slowly turns his heart to stone. Matt and Jed dive into the deeper themes of empathy, emotional "vibes," and how adults often forget the joy and pure-hearted perspective of children. Matt shares how David Bowie, Nirvana's "The Man Who Sold the World," stand‑up comedy, and over 20 years of teaching young kids all helped shape this whimsical, meaningful middle grade series. Then Jed welcomes back Lucy Knisley, author-illustrator of the charming new picture book "Searching for Wocks." Lucy shares how the story grew from pandemic days in Chicago, when playgrounds and lakefronts were closed and her three-year-old began collecting little treasures—rocks, pen caps, leaves—on slow, careful walks. They called these treasures "walks," and Lucy turned that real-life ritual into a tender, funny story about a child's serious, almost scientific engagement with the world. She talks about thinking in comics, balancing words and images, how parenting reshaped her creative life, and why letting kids lead their own explorations (without leaning on generative AI) is so important. This episode is full of heart, creativity, and great ideas for sparking family conversations after you read together.

Can you believe it! Can this really be happening? It has taken years but at long last Kate and Betsy have hit their 400th episode of our podcast Fuse 8 n' Kate!!! Their Quatercentenary! Now they've had a variety of special guests in the past. Jon Scieszka. Aaron Reynolds. Lucy Knisley. But today they're bringing on their sister podcast (brother podcast?) from SLJ. That's right, the hosts of The Yarn, Travis Jonker and Colby Sharp, are joining us for the biggest recording to date. We needed to find a book worthy of such a moment. What's a groundbreaking title that challenged assumptions and made everyone say at the same time, "What really IS a picture book?" Our answer seemed obvious. At Colby and Travis's suggestion, there could be only one.

Who knew that olive oil makes head lice sleepy? Jennifer Hayden rejoins the show to celebrate her new graphic memoir/anti-cookbook, WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, THERE'S DINNER: Confessions of a Cartoonist Cook (Top Shelf), share comedic tales of domestic mess, and rebel against the expectations of wife/motherhood. We talk about the lifetime of bad cooking that led to this new book, the revenge of turning her bad experiences into comedy, how she found a unique form to tell her story, and how a youthful reading of Babar left her with a lifelong phobia of mushrooms. We get into how she was reverse-inspired by Lucy Knisley's Relish, how watercolors gave her a color toolbox for her comics, what this book taught her about storytelling, and how her daughter diagnosed her as "expectation-allergic." We also discuss how she's been cheating on comics with spoken word storytelling, what life after memoir is like, how her breast-cancer memoir doubled as a last will & testament for her family, the process of finding a new creative process and narrative voice, her shamanic experience attending The Moth, the significance of the tarot card she repeatedly draws when she's hard at work on a book, why the folk names of herbs are like edible emotion, and more.

* Trigger warning, some of this episode discusses pregnancy loss, and a near-death birth experience* Welcome back to the Maternal Journal podcast - a deep dive into the power of journaling and creativity to support mental health and wellbeing through pregnancy, birth and parenting. In this episode, host Laura Godfrey-Isaacs, is joined by Bestselling American cartoonist Lucy Knisley.  We hear about her book, ‘Kid Gloves' which takes us on a journey through pre-conception, pregnancy and birth to the unexpected joys of parenting. Lucy's work brings warmth, wit, and vulnerability and explores how the graphic form can become a powerful space for advocacy, reflection, and solidarity as well as the means to highlight how some modern birth practices and cultures can let us down at one of the most important moments of our lives.

Get ready for an inspiring episode that explores the power of storytelling through graphic novels and wildlife conservation! We dive deep with two incredible authors who are changing the way kids understand family, nature, and personal growth. First up is Lucy Knisley, creator of the "Pea Pod Farm" series, who shares her deeply personal graphic novel "Sugar Shack." Drawing from her own experiences of navigating a blended family after her parents' divorce, Lucy reveals how she transforms challenging childhood moments into compelling stories for middle-grade readers. Her graphic novel isn't just about family dynamics—it's a love letter to food, agriculture, and finding your place in the world. Lucy passionately discusses the importance of graphic novels in children's reading development. She argues that these visual stories aren't just "picture books," but complex narratives that help kids develop visual literacy, emotional intelligence, and a love of reading. Parents, take note: supporting your child's interest in graphic novels can be a powerful way to encourage their reading journey! Then we meet April Dwyer, a wildlife conservationist turned children's author, who introduces us to "How to Sing Like a Gibbon." Her book takes readers on a fascinating journey into the world of gibbons—intelligent, musical primates facing serious conservation challenges. April's mission is to educate children about these remarkable animals, their unique behaviors, and the critical importance of wildlife preservation. Both authors demonstrate how children's literature can be so much more than simple entertainment. It can be a window into complex emotions, diverse ecosystems, and important life lessons. Whether you're interested in graphic novels, wildlife conservation, or just looking for a heartwarming conversation about storytelling, this episode has something for everyone.

Hello! Today I'll be reviewing the graphic novel Stepping Stones by Lucy Knisley. I enjoyed this book so much! The main character, Jen, just moved from the city to a farm after her parents' separation. Jen's mom's new boyfriend, Walter, is bossy and annoying. And, Walter's daughters, Andy and Reese, aren't the greatest sisters. Andy is a know it all and Reese is really whiny. Can Jen find her place in this family and learn to get along with her part time sisters? If you have a book you want me to review on the show, email me at theseriesreview13@gmail.com.

Loyal listeners! We are excited to share some much needed light-hearted, stomach-filling goodness as Holly, Jules and our dear friend/special guest host our dear friend Sarah go knead deep into Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley.

Meredith and Kaytee are chatting about current reads and how to squeeze more satisfaction out of your reading life today! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each host: a big change in the reader status of a family member, and a new bookish podcast you’ll love. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We’re chatting about books from writing teams, and sequels and classics that go down easy. For our deep dive this week, we are talking about making 2020 your best reading year yet. Does that mean more books? Maybe. But perhaps it means better books and more time to read them. What are your favorite tips for reading more or better? Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands: we’ve got a young adult selection perfect for February in more ways than one and a murder-y book that is cold as well as bone-chilling. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.

Unlike Other Girls she doesn’t like sewing or embroidery and would rather be sword fighting and is always getting in trouble for her unladylike behavior. My question is; Where are the stories about those other girls? I personally love sewing and I’m a quilter myself. I love working with fabric, it speaks to me. Are you going to go fight a dragon wearing nothing but a shift? How long are you going to survive a post-apocalyptic winter wearing jeans and a tee shirt? Who is creating the elaborate costumes for the time travelers? The closest books I’ve been able to find so far are The Backstagers graphic novels/books and the Behind the Scenes!! manga by Bisco Hatori. Thank you for your time! -Annie 2. Hi ladies, I absolutely love the podcast and wanted to reach out with a request for a recommendation. Recently my (cis male) partner and I have decided that we are going to get married in the new year. We are both feminists, atheists, and working hard to decrease our consumerism and live in environmentally friendly ways, so we are avoiding the wedding industrial complex as much as possible and plan to marry at the town hall with our immediate families present. As a big reader, I often go to books during major life steps to seek advice and guidance, but I am not seeing myself represented in many books about marriage. I have previously read Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert and really loved that book, and I am looking for something similar that is a thoughtful and positive nonfiction book on marriage that may offer advice and insight to those who are genuinely working to have an equal and (apparently) kind of radical partnership that isn’t defined by the trappings of a wedding or organized religion. Your recommendations would be amazing! Thank you so much, -Grace 3. My sister Ruth is a chef/caterer. She has read EVERY memoir, biography, history, technical and cookbook known to the universe. What she hasn’t read is any Fiction that immerses food within the story. Please don’t go for the obvious choices: Danler, Hesser, Reichl, etc. What I’m looking for is a variety of genres/authors that have great food descriptions as part of the story. Literary Fiction a plus and something crazy like SciFi can be fun too. Take your best shot! Grazzi! -Wynne (she/her) 4. I have been adamant for years that I don’t like romance books. They are too mushy and are not for me. Then I somehow was talked into reading Red, White, and Royal Blue. And now I like romances (??) *sigh* Obviously I need help and direction. LGBT is a major plus but not required. I’ve tried the Kiss Quotient and did not like it at all. When I first came out I read Sing You Home. It was ok but not great. I really like the wit and character building in RWRB. Please help. Thanks!! -Jessica 5. Hello! I’m a teenager who’s very confused about a lot of things. Some examples are why people like mushrooms, how the current political climate came to be, and figuring out what crowds I identify with. At the moment, I’m looking for some books that offer different perspectives, or some books that would make me buy merchandise and rant on instagram. Right now, my reading taste leans toward memoirs, YA fiction, dystopian, and sci-fi! Some of my favorite reads are The Giver, Yellow Star, The Hate U Give, Bad Boy, and Ender’s Game! I’m quite tired of books that have the main protag have this boring and predictable romance with a random side character. I would love some books with interesting romances or no romance at all! In addition, I would love books that include complex villains! Thanks! -Aleeza 6. I recently reread Maurice and then watched the Jane Eyre miniseries and it got me to thinking about romance, and then forbidden romance. I haven’t read much romance, but I’m into the idea of reading a romance with a forbidden romance with a servant or governess or whatever. Can you guys recommend any good historical romances to scratch that itch? I know almost nothing of the genre, and have only read Courtney Milan, and some ill advised reads back in middle school days. Thank you two for all your hard work! P.S. I just realized Fingersmith fits this ask, but rest assured I have read it and watched the amazing movie (which if you haven’t seen GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW). I guess I have a forbidden romance with servants fetish??? Go figure. -Sarah 7. I’m currently looking for a tragic story (more depressing the better) for a cathartic experience. Themes like suicide, self -harm, any kind of assault and abuse are totally fine and anything that would leave me in tears is just what I need. I have a month long vacation coming in few weeks and I’d prefer a lengthy book that’s not too slow paced. -Rija BOOKS DISCUSSED Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim Torn by Rowenna Miller Something New by Lucy Knisley (rec’d by Aly) Drop the Ball by Tiffany Dufu Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune by Roselle Lim The Cheffe by Marie NDiaye, transl. by Jordan Stump The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai (tw: domestic abuse) Dating You Hating You by Christina Lauren Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C.

Meet this week's special guest star, Lucy Knisley! To our infinite delight, when asked what book she'd like to do for the podcast she selected one we'd never done. Today's magnificent title is Shrek! We get to talk about whether or not Shrek is actually Superman, how the succulent wedding bouquet was ahead of its time, and what this book has in common with the film US. Show Notes: Here is the Salon article "Shrek" Is Not Shrek: https://www.salon.com/2001/05/24/anti_shrek/ While we were unable to find the 1996 Children's Circle Video "The William Steig Library", we were able to find this brief interview with the man in which he says he's not a good illustrator. Suuuuuuuure, buddy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k8TiUftKF0 Extra points to Macmillan for getting Stanley Tucci to do the audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmUC7nsrzlg The two ramen related books that are out in 2019 that are mentioned on the podcast are Let's Make Ramen by Hugh Amano and Sarah Becan and Magic Ramen: The Story of Momofuku Ando is by Andrea Wang, illustrated by Kana Urbanowicz.
