We are joined by author (and literary festival director) Jael Richardson to reframe all things self-love through the angle of kids lit.  We talk about competition, faith, families, self-acceptance in our forties and, of course, books.Jael is the author of the YA hit Gutter Child and the memoir The Stone Thrower, which was so popular it was eventually reformatted as a children's picture book. Her most recent book for kids is Because You Are. She is also the executive director of two literary festivals: The FOLD, and The FOLD Kids, which celebrate diverse authors and storytellers. These festivals are changing the literary landscape in Canada for the better.Links:The Stone Thrower (and the illustrated version with pictures by Matt James)Gutter ChildBecause You AreThe FOLDThe Sleeping Car Porter by Suzette MayrThe Break and The Strangers by Katherena VermetteFor more from Jael, check out her website and give her a follow on Twitter and Instagram We love hearing from our listeners!
