Welcome back to the new school year - we hope you had a great summer. September always feels the time for fresh starts and we are back after a bit of summer break. We have an interview with Dean Atta about his picture book, Auntie's Bangles (illustrated by Alea Marley)- a joyous take on loss and remembering. We also talk about his YA books and the middle grade project he is working on. All very exciting! Congratulations to him too on the publication of his adult debut, Big Man, which is out and available now (and you will have worked hard to miss the buzz about it on social media!).Dean's website can be found here.And links to all his books are below.Auntie's Bangles, illustrated by Alea MarleyConfetti, illustrated by Alea MarleyThe Black Flamingo, illustrated by Anshika Khullar Only on the WeekendsI Can't Even Think Straight Big ManDo subscribe, message us about who you would like us to get on the podcast, what you would like us to cover and any questions you have.Send us a message
