  Katie Kirby and Maddie Frost "Funnier When You Add A Doodle"

  Sep 21, 202649 min

  Enjoy a conversation between bestselling Middle Grade author/illustrators as they discuss what drew them to write diary-style books for “tweens,” how adding humor helps tweens navigate big emotions and figuring out their place in the world, and how it’s impossible to impress their own kids no matter how successful they’ve become. Because we’ve all lived through those turbulent years, their books also resonate with adults! Find out which one of them made a 50-year-old man cry while reading one of her books.
