Show Notes: Embracing Differences Through Storytelling

In this episode, we sit down with a passionate author who has turned her love for children's books into a mission to create inclusive stories that celebrate differences and promote self-belief. After discovering the joy of reading to her daughters, she was inspired to write her own stories, especially after facing challenges during a period of illness.

Join us as we explore her journey from a devoted reader to the creator of The Bit Different Collection, a series of heartwarming tales that tackle sensitive topics with empathy and encouragement.

Featured Books:

• Bertie the Very Blind Bat: Meet Bertie, a brave little bat who, despite being blind, embraces his identity as a Superbat.
• Crosby the Not-So-Snappy Crocodile: Follow Crosby, a kind crocodile who embarks on a journey to find acceptance and discovers that his uniqueness is his greatest strength.
• Floss the Wobbly Flamingo: Dive into Floss's story, where friendship and support help her overcome the challenges of being born with weak legs.

Tune in to hear about the inspiration behind these stories, the importance of representation in children's literature, and what’s next for this dedicated author as she continues to craft tales that help children feel seen and accepted.
