On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Sarah Kurpiel about her newest picture book: A Little Like Magic. 

This charming book highlights the rewards of stepping outside of your comfort zone and finding inspiration in art and the natural beauty of the world. 

Come listen as we talk about how Sarah taught herself to draw, the magic and themes inside of her book and her beautiful hopes for readers.
