Amy Meislein Pollack: The Adventures of Jelly Bean 06/01/2024

PODCAST BONUS: Amy Meislin Pollack was a teacher for over four decades, raised three children, and loves to play with her seven grandchildren. From her own childhood to the classroom and as a parent and grandparent, she is perfectly positioned to pen her coming-of-age book series. The Adventures of Jelly Bean, followed by The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean, first came into being when the author's fourth-grade teacher used to ask her to get up in front of the class and tell the stories about this character she would make up as she went along. She talked with Bruce about her writing and how it can help families bridge the gap during a very important time in a child's life. (photo provided by guest).
