このエピソードについて
What can nearly five decades of writing for young people teach us about creativity, belonging and growing up? In this episode, host Chris Tompkins talks with beloved Canadian author Gordon Korman, whose 100+ books have reached millions of readers around the world. Gordon shares how a Grade 7 assignment launched his writing career, why he's drawn to underdogs and outsiders, and why great stories continue to resonate with kids despite an ever-changing world. He also offers thoughtful advice for parents on encouraging young people's passions: provide support, give them room to explore and remember that the best time to start is now.
