April Jones Prince, Jody Little, Josh Galarza, Katrina Moore and Zetta Elliott talk about the courage to be emotionally vulnerable on the page, writing about subjects for kids that people have told you kids shouldn’t read about, and the fact that even though publishing has a long way to go before it’s truly equitable that in 2014 only 8.4% of creators of children’s books were people of color and by 2023 that number had risen to 45.6%. Whether or not any of those snippets speak to you, I feel confident that something in this episode will grab hold of your heartstrings and not let go.
