Justin Roberts, I'LL BE YOUR POLAR BEAR

Zibby interviews 4-time Grammy nominee Justin Roberts about I’ll Be Your Polar Bear, a warm, heartfelt picture book about the lengths parents will go to comfort and protect their children. Justin reveals this book was inspired by a lullaby he wrote and then shares his fascinating career trajectory–from Montessori preschool teacher and divinity studies graduate student to 16 albums, Grammy nominations, and several books based on songs. He also describes the book editing process, his wonderful collaboration with his illustrator Chuck Groenink, and his next book Giant-Sized Butterflies On My First Day of School.
