On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Michael Wang about his debut picture book: LEIF’S GIFT.

This gorgeous picture book is about a boy named Leif who’s green thumb has turned his bedroom into a jungle. When important things go missing in the overgrowth, Leif must find a way to make his plants a little less and maybe share a little more. 

Come listen as we talk about the personal inspiration behind the book, Michael’s love for plants and what they do for the Earth, the varied themes that will likely emerge from reading the book and some extra bells and whistles available for readers online, too. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
