Episode Details

Hey Friends~ 

This week is Children’s Authors and Illustrators Week! And on TLOP,  we’re celebrating an imaginative storyteller who helps kids grow brave, curious, and confident. So it felt like the perfect time to discuss: what shapes an author who writes stories that help children feel brave and confident?

In this episode, I talk with children’s author Rella B. about imagination, courage, and the heart behind stories that invite kids to embrace who they are. It’s a conversation about wonder, creativity, and why storytelling matters at every age.

Always cheering you on!
