Take a look here to see how I can help you publish your book!In this week's episode, I chat to author and illustrator Gemma Denham, whose debut adult novel The Storm is a gripping locked-room mystery set in the Lake District. We talk about Gemma's fascinating path from children's book illustrator to crime writer, why she made the switch, and how a personal 40-before-40 challenge helped her finally write her first novel.We also dig into the benefits of writing retreats, plotting versus pantsing, and the pressures of following up your first book—especially when you're already deep into book four!✏️ In This Episode:– The inspiration behind The Storm and its remote, cut-off setting – Why writing crime fiction was a natural step after illustrating picture books – Gemma's structured-but-flexible plotting process and how she lets her characters lead – How visual thinking and cover design influence her approach to books – The reality of professional edits and what “show don't tell” really means – How mini-plotting sessions and character work can keep your writing on track – Why the second book can feel tougher than the first—even without external pressure – Using feedback from trusted beta readers and writer friends to level up

Marianne's days are filled with schedules, structure, and soccer. There's just one problem: Marianne is a maker. She needs every minute of her weekends to scheme and dream, draw and design, to build and rebuild! This is the story of how a creator with a crackerjack imagination finds a not-so-great way to skip practice and create her masterpiece. But will her dad understand?Told in delightful rhyme that bounces across George Sweetland's gorgeous collage-style illustrations (chock full of hidden gems). Marianne the Maker is sure to kindle the creative spark that lives inside all of us.Kelly's storytelling expertise brings this research to life, and her daughter, Claire's, tech-arts integration provides modern context. Their mother-daughter dynamic demonstrates intergenerational impact, along with real examples from both traditional and digital making.Review"A thoughtful role model for aspiring inventors."--Kirkus ReviewsBestselling author, beloved PBS and podcast host, Kelly Corrigan, talks about her new book, Marianne the Maker, written with her daughter, debut author Claire Corrigan Lichty. Marianne the Maker just may be the antidote to the current epidemic of depression and anxiety children are facing today.In the forthcoming summer title from Penguin Young Readers, MARIANNE THE MAKER (on-sale: 6/3/25), Kelly Corrigan and her daughter, Claire Corrigan Lichty, make the case for making—which just may be the antidote to the current epidemic of depression and anxiety children are facing today. At a time when arts education programs are being cut at a more vicious pace than ever before, studies show that using our hands to create has incredible benefits: reduction in anxiety, improvement in memory, and for children. Making is vital to their development: tinkering and hands-on play develops new ways of thinking, instills confidence and resourcefulness, and helps make connections.

Michael Gerard Bauer   On today's show, we chat about how one of Australia's favourite picture book authors gets his stories, how they often develop from something small – a thought in his head, or a picture that sparked an idea or a thought, followed by a series of questions to determine what sort of story it would become.

With a knack for blending humour and emotion, he continues to delight readers of all ages. Everybody please welcome the ever-talented Michael Gerard Bauer.

Children's picture books are some of the most transparently ideological materials available to parents and educators, and as cultural objects they are an expression of the zeitgeist of a particular era. They reveal much about the hopes, values, and aspirations of the society that produces them, as well as that society's vision of its place in the wider world at large.Children's Picture Books and Contemporary Egyptian Society (AUC Press, 2025) by Dr. Yasmine Motawy examines a new wave of Egyptian picture books that was published in the current century to see how these books responded to larger societal trends and transformations in Egypt, as well as to explore the ideologies that lie behind them. Dr. Motawy argues that a host of factors, including the growth of gated communities and international schooling, the proliferation of lucrative literary awards, returning Gulf migrants, television dramas, and nationwide reading advocacy initiatives helped give rise to a new kind of children's picture book in Egypt.Dr. Motawy focuses on three clusters of selected picture books to investigate the extent to which these books reproduce hegemonic discourses or, alternatively, open up new horizons of childhood agency and societal transformation. The first cluster includes books that directly socialize the child by showing them ‘how things are done,' in both the domestic sphere and the increasing globalized spaces that children frequent with their families. The second cluster aims at reframing cultural notions around femininity through the retelling of folk and fairy tales, while the third cluster addresses children's abilities to assess the impact of their actions on their environment, and invites them to examine their personal suitability to positions of power and stewardship. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On the surface, Diné author Daniel Vandever's picture books might appear to be straightforward stories, but the messages about the power of imagination and adventure in his books are imbued with layers of meaning. In his book Fall in Line, Holden!, a little boy breaks free from the constraints of rules and discipline by using his imagination. On a deeper level, the book speaks to the history of Indian Boarding Schools in pushing cultural assimilation. Likewise, in his wordless picture book Herizon, a girl goes on a magic scarf ride to find her lost sheep. This book is imbued with symbolism about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) epidemic, as well as cultural references to the Navajo Nation. Herizon was nominated to represent New Mexico at the 2024 National Book Festival.

Host Tayla is joined by Alicia Vaandering from the University of Rhode Island, James Rosenzweig from Eastern Washington University, and Amanda Melilli from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to share their research project focusing on queer representation in picture books and the creation of the Rainbow Representation Rubric. They also talk about queer subtext in classic films and novels and finding comfort (or not!) in dystopian fiction.

Host Tayla is joined by Alicia Vaandering from the University of Rhode Island, James Rosenzweig from Eastern Washington University, and Amanda Melilli from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to share their research project focusing on queer representation in picture books and the creation of the Rainbow Representation Rubric. They also talk about queer subtext in classic films and novels and finding comfort (or not!) in dystopian fiction. In the Last Chapter they discuss: would you rather have a personal library with unlimited space but only filled with books you've never read, or a small collection of books you've read and loved but no space for new books?

But just as we desire to love and meet the needs of our children, so our Heavenly Father longs to do the same for us. Too often our time limitations and the guilt that comes with them, keep us from his arms and his transforming power. But the truth is, God knows the seasons of your life and sees your heart" (Emily Assell). On today's episode, Emily Assell, author of the children's board book When It Hurts: Comforting Promises for Hard Times and the devotional book Wherever You Are: Devotions and Declarations for Moms, opens a beautiful conversation about the hard yet joyous work of mothering. Emily's story contains so much strength.

And trying to join a Zoom meeting from your hotel room or your in-laws' kitchen doesn't always feel great. This is why I love Airbnb when we travel–I can find a place with plenty of room to spread out, including a desk or table for dedicated work time, making it easier to have dedicated connection time with my kids. And, if you're thinking of traveling for spring break, consider hosting your home on Airbnb, too! It's a great way to help offset the cost of booking one yourself while opening up your space for another family also traveling! Your home might be worth more than you think.
