Tina Shepardson, "The Sorry Seeds" (Gnome Road, 2024)
Manage episode 445269559 series 3460160
Tina Shepardson and I celebrate her wonderful new picture book The Sorry Seeds, just published (two days ago!!) by Gnome Road with gorgeous illustrations by Bong Hyun Shin. In our candid conversation, Tina reveals the true childhood story that led her to write the manuscript, and discusses her own journey from child to teacher to author, the critical steps she took to become a published children's author, how she felt when she first saw the visualization of her main character, Courtney, by the illustrator, and her advice for writers aspiring to break through. We also discuss the importance of having a particularly strong story arc, especially when the teaching message is obvious, as in the present story.
