1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Today we get to chat with my friend, Ann Braden — activist, founder of several grassroots organizations, podcaster, teacher, and author! I read (and cried over) an excerpt from her new book, Flight Of A Puffin, last week. Today we talk to Author Ann about bringing characters to life, loving them, and giving them hope. About raising a book up with a village to support you. About reading with kids across the country. And more!
