In this episode, we explore Bullying into Bravery with Christine B. Bianco (also known as Christina Del Monte), the author and illustrator of the whimsical Dorothy Dustbucket series and the fun, heartfelt Frog, Fish & Worm. Christine’s journey, from nurse to TV designer to self-published author, is a powerful story of creativity, resilience, and purpose.Christine shares how she uses art and humor to teach children about bullying prevention, bravery, kindness, teamwork, and social-emotional learning (SEL). She also discusses the process of writing, illustrating with Procreate, and navigating self-publishing vs. hybrid publishing, offering valuable tips for independent authors, teachers, and parents.
