Reading with a chance of tacos

My Name is Jemima


Listen Later

On today’s show, we chat about turning a brilliant idea for a story into one of this year’s must-read picture books. We chat to the inspiration behind the story. A joyful, honest chat about storytelling, identity, and making your way in the kid lit community.

 

Today’s special guest is an Australian children’s author and passionate advocate for representation and accessibility in storytelling. Her debut picture book My Name is Jemima is a heartwarming and empowering story that gently explores vision impairment through the eyes of a confident young girl and her guide dog, Jemima.

Olivia joins us today to chat about her journey into writing, how her lived experiences shape her stories, and the special bond she shares with her guide dog. It’s an inspiring and insightful conversation full of warmth, honesty, and heart.

Everybody please welcome the amazing and talented, Olivia Muscat
