from Reading With Your Kids Podcast · host Jedlie
Kris Tarantino is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her new picture book Be My ValentineSLIME. She discusses how the book was inspired by her own experiences feeling invisible or excluded by people who lacked kindness. She talks about developing the story idea of loveable monsters who don't understand love, with the character of Snoodle teaching friendship and kindness. Tarantino explains working with her editor and agent to strengthen the story through revisions like developing secondary characters. It was an enjoyable conversation where Tarantino shared the creation of her debut picture book aimed at teaching valuable lessons to kids.
