Bess Kalb, BUFFALO FLUFFALO

Emmy-nominated comedy writer Bess Kalb joins Zibby to discuss BUFFALO FLUFFALO, a delightful picture book about a silly buffalo who tries to fluff his way into being bigger than he really is. Inspired by her experiences as a mother and wanting to create something that resonates with her son, Bess wrote the book to encourage self-acceptance and make children laugh (oh, and to dismantle toxic masculinity as well!). She also talks about the role of comedy in her life and the adaptation of her adult book, NOBODY WILL TELL YOU THIS BUT ME, into a film!Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3Ol8Ib3Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
