On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with show designer Kat Maconie about her debut picture book: WHAT KIND OF SHOES DOES A HIPPOPOTAMUS CHOOSE?

This whimsical picture book celebrates different kinds of animals and the different kinds of shoes they wear. It’s fun, a delight to read and will likely spark creativity and conversation around our own shoe choices.

Come listen as we talk about Kat’s brightly colored journey through shoes to picture books, the important message of authenticity and creativity on the page and her hopes to bring a bit of joy and empowerment to readers through this whimsical story. 

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!
