E153: Celebrating Neurodiversity: WISH IN A TREE by Lynda Mullaly Hunt

from Kidlit Love: Conversations with Picture Book and Middle Grade Authors · host Stephanie Affinito

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Lynda Mullaly Hunt about her new picture book: WISH IN A TREE.This beautiful picture book is the companion story to her New York Times best-selling book FISH IN A TREE and celebrates neurodiversity and out-of-the-box thinking. In Lynda’s words, it’s an anti-shame book that she hopes sees all students and helps them take stock in who they are. Come listen as we talk about why Lynda never thought she’d end up being a writer, the one teacher and writer’s group that changed everything and the beautiful hope she has for the book and all of the readers who read it. You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here. Join me inside my Facebook community for bookish people! There, we talk about all things books and reading and writing and notebooking, too!
