Welcome to "We Make Children's Books," the podcast that explores the imaginative realms of children's literature! I'm Barney Smith from Storycomic.com, and today we're thrilled to welcome the inspiring and award-winning author Vie Portland.
In this episode, Vie discusses her latest children's book, "Where Are We Going?" and shares her experiences with successfully crowdfunding her earlier books, "Who Am I?" and "Kinder Happier You." Vie's journey into writing began during the pandemic when she achieved her long-time goal of becoming a published author by writing not just one, but three books.
Vie Portland has dedicated her work to themes of acceptance and inclusion, which shine brightly through her narratives. Her children's books feature Emily, a little girl who embarks on wonderful, imaginary adventures with her mum and her cat. Despite Emily having a visible difference, Vie's stories emphasize commonalities over differences, fostering acceptance and friendship among young readers.
Listeners, get ready to dive into a discussion that not only covers the enchanting worlds Vie creates in her books but also her approach to making literature a tool for social change. Vie's sessions, ideal for Reception and Key Stages 1 and 2, are described as vibrant and full of love, designed to boost self-esteem and confidence in young readers.
For those interested in organizing a reading or workshop with Vie Portland, or to purchase her books, please visit Vie Portland’s official website.
