A Book the World Needs Right Now: THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE GNOME’S by Scott Magoon

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Scott Magoon about his newest picture book: THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE GNOME’S.

This whimsical and heartfelt picture book celebrates community, resilience and making space for others, even when the world is changing. This is a book that the world truly needs right now.

Come listen as we talk about Scott’s journey through around 40 picture books, the cool new word I learned for a combined author and illustrator, the science and tools behind illustrating and color palettes and his hopeful wish for readers young and old.

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!
