28 September 2021 | Episode 90: Celebrating Black Joy

In honour of the start of Black History Month in the UK, Charlie passes the mic to guest host Aimée Felone, Managing Director of independent children's publisher Knights Of, who is joined by Clare Weze, E. L. Norry, Chanté Timothy and Camilla Ru, four of the contributors to children's anthology Happy Here, a book which champions joy and celebrates the work of Black British authors and illustrators. Down the Rabbit Hole joins them for a candid conversation and a look behind the scenes at the aims and inspiration of the book - copies of which will be delivered to every school in the UK in partnership with Booktrust and CLPE. Plus, we all recommend a book that's been making us happy this month, and our guests share their hopes for the future of publishing, and what legacy they would like to leave with their work.
