E188: Big Feelings & Messy Families: THIS WAY TO HAPPY by Alison Green Myers
Description
On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Alison Green Myers about her newest middle grade novel: THIS WAY TO HAPPY.
This is a heartwarming novel about loss, friendship and the many paths we take to create happiness set at a family amusement park. I hugged the book when I was finished and I did not want to let it go.
Come listen as we talk about the inspiration for the book (that could be seen as 47 years in the making!), the importance of signs (both physical and metaphorical) and the beautiful hope Alison has for the book and its readers.
