Description

Bringing empathy to all aspects of our lives.

In this episode, we talk with award-winning children’s author David LaRochelle (he/him) about the LGBT book Conundrum by Jan Morris.  David shares with us, "So, on the one hand this book taught me a lot, but the bigger impact that this book had on me was the feeling that just because I don't experience something doesn't mean that it's not true.”

We have a fascinating conversation with David about knowing our true selves,  expanding our empathy, as well as LGBTQ children’s literature.
