Sandra Feder is a graduate of Stanford University and is an MFA candidate in the Writing for Children and Young Adults program at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. She is a black belt in Taekwondo, likes to paint, and has a sweet tooth — particularly for dark chocolate. She is the author of two picture books and three early chapter books. She joins me today to talk about Angry Me, her sixth book.
Why did she start writing children’s books? Why is important to recognize anger as an emotion? What advice would she give her younger self? Listen in to uncover the answers to these questions and learn how being a children’s author can be a rewarding experience.
