Show Notes

Turns out, not all storytellers talk nonstop around the dinner table.

In this episode, Wendy wrestles with what it means to be a storyteller—not the off-the-cuff kind, but the slow, thoughtful kind who writes, revises, and listens closely. She shares how her grandchildren, a summer on Lake Michigan, and small moments of wonder sparked a new chapter of creativity: writing children’s books rooted in tenderness, imagination, and hope. It’s a quiet meditation on art, family, and the courage to keep adding a little bit of goodness to the world.

Then, Wendy is joined by illustrator Erin Johnson as they discuss creating their new book, A Little Boy to Love, and how creativity continues to be integrated into their worlds.
