Zibby Books author alert!!! Debut author Megan Tady joins Zibby to discuss Super Bloom, a sparkling, heartwarming novel about a massage therapist at an iconic Vermont spa who, while grieving the death of her boyfriend, agrees to supply a demanding and eccentric romance novelist with spa secrets for her next book... but is instead inspired to write her own. Meg describes the real-life spa trip that inspired this story and her long journey to publishing it (after years of editing, querying, and never giving up!). She also talks about her quirky characters and spa research, her fun book cover, the actual super bloom happening in California, and her next book!

Brian Selznick, BIG TREE
May 3, 2023
•30m
Zibby interviews #1 New York Times bestselling author Brian Selznick about Big Tree, an enthralling and hopeful book of finely detailed pencil drawings about two little seeds on an epic adventure to find a safe place to grow. Brian explains how Steven Spielberg was involved in this project, which was originally a movie screenplay. He also reveals that both seeds’ personalities are based on his own and then discusses his book’s central themes: sibling relationships, climate change, and the bravery to forge your own path. Finally, Brian talks about his wildly successful book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, his experience growing up as a queer child, and the danger of book bans.
