On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Kam Redlawsk about her debut picture book: YUMI & MONSTER.

This truly stunning picture book will inspire anyone (everyone!) who has faced illness, loss or any life situation that seems insurmountable. It’s a journey into the emotions we feel when faced with unexpected challenges and incites readers to discover the beauty, magic and adventure that lie beyond the fear, in ourselves. 

Come listen as we talk about Kam’s journey to children’s literature, her personal story that inspired this beautiful picture book, a bit more about her advocacy work for disabilities and her hopes for readers. We also talk about the incredible last line of the book, something sure to stay in your heart forever. 

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!
