In this episode, we get to know Rab. Rab Ferguson is based in the UK and is the author of The Late Crew, an award-winning children's book about young carers and aliens. When he's not writing about creatures from beyond the solar system, he also works for a charity in the UK, supporting children and families to read together. In this episode, Rab chats with young carer Lani about his journey becoming an author, his motivation for writing The Late Crew and his tips for anyone supporting young carers in the community.For more information about The Late Crew, please visit: www.thelatecrew.co.uk This episode of YC Bytes was hosted by Nina Longfellow.
