The two talk about their long-standing friendship, the chance meeting at a convention that led to this creative collaboration, and how the book blends myth, color, culture, and imagination to help process death in an honest, hopeful way. They also explore storytelling as a tool for remembrance, the influence of Día de Muertos, and why this book is as much for grown-ups as it is for kids.</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/4jvTrCP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/4jvTrCP</a></p><p><br></p><p>Share, rate, &amp; review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/zibbyowens/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@zibbyowens</a>!</p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
