Many picture book writers feel inspired by real life events that happened to a child or another family member, but taking complicated true events and turning them into an easily digestible story can be trickier than it looks. That’s why I’m so glad to have gotten a chance to talk with Michelle Wagner for today’s episode. Michelle’s picture book, Mickey on the Move, is based on her son’s real life story of getting cochlear implants. Have a listen!
