And for a special treat, the author of Impossible Moon, Breanna J. McDaniel, comes back to share why she decided to write the book. Breanna is an author, researcher, and doctor who focuses on education and representation in youth literature. Which is a really fancy way of saying that she cares about learning and characters in books a whole lot - as we all should!

In this episode, we learn about two best friends, David and Malcolm, who each share the story of their family traditions. They discover that they both have times at the dinner table each week where food brings people, ideas, and cultures together.

This book has two readers: Candace Bazemore and Gabrielle Leon Spatt, who are also the two authors! Candace and Gabby met through an organization called the Junior League of Atlanta, a group that inspires leaders to make a difference in their community. They were inspired by John Lewis, a leader who very much made a difference in his community. Other than writing books, Candace is an expert in technology and marketing (spreading the word!) and Gabby helps people build their businesses or community organizations. You can learn more about them and Shabbat and Sunday Dinner at inourtradition.com.
