Zibby talks with Emmy Award–winning journalist Bianna Golodryga and Israeli news anchor Yonit Levi about their middle-grade novel DON’T FEED THE LION. The book follows three young teens as they confront antisemitism in their school and community, inspired by the authors’ own experiences as mothers navigating rising hate after October 7. Bianna and Yonit share how the story grew from personal conversations into a poignant resource for families, discuss the challenges of helping children understand prejudice, and reflect on balancing their high-profile journalism careers with motherhood and activism.
