In this episode of Story of the Book, we spoke with Celia about her second middle grade book, Strange Birds, published with Kokila/Penguin in 2019. We loved what Celia had to say about keeping her projects secret until they're rooted, making the writing process tactile with scissors and glue, and the importance of specific representation in novels. This episode is a total delight! Enjoy!
