In today’s episode of Partnership Publishing: The Podcast, Florence sits down with our latest debut author, Heidi Weaver, to discuss her adventurous new book, RedTed and the Pirates.

Join them as they set sail on a joyful high-seas adventure, exploring how Heidi’s own childhood bear inspired the story of RedTed. Heidi shares the deeper messages behind the tale, from encouraging children’s sense of adventure to nurturing resilience, confidence, and the importance of teamwork.

Heidi also offers insight into the illustration journey, from her own early sketches capturing RedTed’s personality, to collaborating with an illustrator to bring the character vividly to life through bold and vibrant visuals.

Heidi is available for school visits, workshops, and author talks, where she brings stories to life and inspires young readers and writers. You can connect with her and follow her journey on social media via RedTed’s Adventures.
