On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Laura Murray about her newest early reader graphic novel: THE GINGERBREAD MAN: NEW FRIEND ON THE LOOSE.

In this delightful early graphic novel, the Gingerbread Man bakes a new cookie friend who takes a class on a bit of an adventure. This book, along with all of the other books in the series, are inviting, packed with action and learning and are completely full of fun. 

Come listen as we talk about the origin story behind the book series and Laura’s career as an author, the 3 R’s she strives to include in each of her books, the themes present across the stories and her hopes that the books act as springboards for children’s own stories and writing. 

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!
