Gosh, 2020 was a year.But look, so has 2021 been, right? For Kidlit creators with books releasing, it's just  a different world since COVID-19 impacted most of us,  and the funny thing is- this discussion is still (sadly) very relevant.  You may have heard me speak of my Great Technical Meltdown...or not. In any case, that's why this episode is almost a year late being posted. However, what I found talking to Danielle Dufayet (click here for her info) is that Kidlit, Creativity and  Community are also always relevant, right?Right. Obviously,  so are food and stories and Dani  shares some lovely foodie story memories with me, too.I'm believing that although this episode is being sent out later than expected, the timing is perfect for someone who needs to hear it or read Dani's empowering, supportive books right now.Don't forget you can check out the 2020Comeback Crew  online  on FaceBook, Instagram and Twitter too, and have a look at the fabulous creations they collectively launched last year.See, I can't tell you how to live your life, but I can share a story with you- and maybe it's just the one you need.Stay safe, dear listeners,Talk to you soon Ellie xx

What's Your Story -  From the Year 2020- Comeback Crew, Pandemic Launches and Food Stories with Danielle Dufayet 

Danielle Dufayet (@DanielleDufayet) shares YOU ARE YOUR STRONG and FANTASTIC YOU!. I first connected with YOU ARE YOUR STRONG, Danielle’s debut picture book, when I was moved by the way her text gave space for readers to acknowledge their feelings. Using language that affirms difficult or confusing feelings and exploring where we find our strength or what pulls strength out was, to be frank, an approach I found quite disarming as I read. It was as if I hadn’t realized what feelings I was holding onto and encountering YOU ARE YOUR STRONG held up a mirror to what emotions I was afraid to face. Her next book, FANTASTIC YOU!, similarly spoke the words I knew I needed to hear as a child, and I needed to hear even now as an educator and a parent and a person walking in the world. Naturally, Danielle and I spend time in this conversation exploring that very idea of self-acknowledging hurt or pain or sadness and self-regulating in order to love and care for yourself and others. I hope you, too, find strength in these words and in this conversation. You can access even more information about this book and its author by visiting www.matthewcwinner.com/blog. Get a copy of this book and support independent bookstores (and this podcast) by visiting our BookShop Store.   Thank you to this week's sponsor: Bookclub (Patreon) Libro.fm And to the generous support from our Patrons.
