Description
Zibby is joined by acclaimed picture book author Christie Matheson to discuss her first middle-grade book, Shelter, which tells the story of a young girl living in a homeless shelter with her family. Christie shares the moment she realized she wanted to help young readers develop a more empathetic perspective of the homeless community in San Francisco, as well as what she learned from her own experience volunteering in a shelter for families. The two also talk about how Christie's experience of having children with severe food allergies found its way into the book, what she wants readers to take away from this story, and the number of projects she has coming out soon.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/38FbgitBookshop: https://bit.ly/3MEktGjSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
