A whimsical story that addresses children's fears of monsters with a delightful twist, this book reflects KP's unique blend of humor and motherly insight, making the night-time less frightening for kids. Drawing from bedtime stories crafted for her own daughters, KP discusses how she turned nightly storytelling into a career in writing, emphasizing themes of bravery and understanding. KP also shares anecdotes from her personal life, from winning fantasy football leagues to her attempts at gardening, showing how her diverse interests and everyday life enrich her stories. The interview not only highlights her path to becoming a published author but also her collaboration with illustrator Lucy Shin, whose visuals bring the story’s playful and comforting aspects to life. For KP, writing is about capturing the hearts of both children and adults, encouraging them to find humor and courage in the face of their fears. This interview is a deep dive into the creative process of a storyteller who crafts tales that leave lasting impressions on her readers.
