73: Pamela Druckerman on Storytelling for Kids (Season 4 debut)

Many of us can recall moments from childhood when there was nothing more appealing than being anywhere but at home. Someplace more dazzling, someplace where every day life takes on a more special sheen; someplace like Paris. That moment is captured perfectly in Paris by Phone, the new rhyming picture book for kids by today’s guest, Pamela Druckerman. She is the author of five books including Bringing Up Bébé, a worldwide bestseller, and writes a column about France for The New York Times. She joins me today to talk about the whimsical world and life lessons she wanted to express with this new book, the particular challenges of writing for children, and what makes Paris special for kids of all ages.
