We were joined by children's author Allan Johnson this time around. We get into the how's and the why's of writing for children, where he draws his inspiration and how reading as a child drove his imagination as he grew up. This is our first 100% kid friendly episode, that we even decided to pop some kid friendly tunes into. So you won't need to worry about listening to this one with the littun's in the car.
The Tunes You'll Hear: The Upsy Daisies - Just Be You, Megafaunix - Jackrabbit, Megafaunix - Desert Road, The Upsy Daisies - It's Gunna Be Alright, It's Gunna Be OK
If you like what you hear you can find Allan and the musical artists all on line.
